putting my foot sorta down

the inspiration for this story arch came from 500 Days of Summer, which i thought was a really good movie.  i was able to identify with a lot of the emotions in it, as i’ve felt some of them while growing up.  here, i’m putting the character through a tough situation where he obviously likes her (hopefully for more than just her looks!) but she’s being non-committal.  its tough because if he stand up, he may lose any opportunity with her.  but if he stays, then at least he gets the chance to change her mind.  of course the trap here is that she will never change her mind!  if she would, she would’ve done it already. but being in the situation, it’s so hard to realize the reality of the situation.  but hey, that’s what friends are for!

been really enjoying this new character with her bright scarlet hair.  maybe we’ll see more of her!  artwork wise, combining a couple different new elements here, the non-panel box with no balloons, and the nighttime bedroom shot.  i find that i’m improving on my ability to draw interesting body postures, but i think my art still isn’t stylized enough yet.  there’s more life i could be instilling in these characters.

new art tools

comic art tools

here are some of the new art tools i got.  at the advice of steve mcniven, i got a 0.3mm uni shift mechanical pencil that works awesome.  and i’m still getting used to the brush pen.  my right handed-ness shows through too much.  both ordered from jetpens.com.
