Cats Can Fetch - page 5 sketch
Added 2016-10-05 23:49:25 +0000 UTCThe sketch for page 5, little bit of exposition, character, background. Lia can make excuses if she wants but Twix isn't dumb. Amidst him trying to tell her that despite her rather cute appearance, he knows that in the long run, he just needs someone with the other set of parts, and doesn't want her to get her hopes up. When she asks if that's all that's holding him back, he confirms it, but unknown to him, she's already got all the parts he needs.
I'm kind of worried about the dialogue here, and I keep going over it in my head. It's probably the most important page in the whole comic in that regard, and also probably touches closest to home for some people. I don't want it to be too serious or out-of-place however. My goal isn't to provide commentary on complex gender social issues, so I'll probably seek feedback when I get to that if I can.

2016-10-06 11:54:40 +0000 UTCI'm very interested in seeing how this dialogue turns out. This kind of reveal is definitely not something I see often, or at least not in way that is meant to develop characters!

2016-10-06 04:31:29 +0000 UTCI like what you're proposing for her revelation. I think you can do it justice, just keep it tentative at first. It sounds like it's sort of a big thing for her to be letting someone in on, so the risk would be making it seem too casual or easy. But this bit of uncertainty can be exciting! It makes it feel real, and easier to empathize with. I know you'll do a good job with it. :D

2016-10-06 01:57:50 +0000 UTCAre these sketches done digitally or on paper?
2016-10-06 01:49:29 +0000 UTCHow long does it take to think and plan out a comic page? Also how long for inking and dialog placement? I'm Curious.
