Ties That Bind - Page 10 WIP (Pencils)

Added 2022-05-23 20:21:27 +0000 UTC

Come and look into the face of madness.

For the life of me, I could NOT get satisfied with the bottom trio set of bodies. I want the legs to be shorter, I want Judy to be cuddled but pressed onto Owen's crotch. Getting it to look right, be dynamic and fun... Woof. I've redrawn it like 3 different times now and even sat down to do a bunch of studies (all those bodies on the side of the page here). Being a part of my Patreon means you get to be a part of that insanity.

At some point you've got to say 'good enough for government work' - a phase one of my old bosses used to say - and call it good enough. That's where I'm at. Neither completely satisfied nor too disappointed. I can tell I'm missing something, but feel ready to move on. I wish penciling came easier for me.

I hope it's kind of fun to see just how much bonkers redrawing and drawing I put into each page? Even a simpler 4 pannel one takes tons of iteration.

After some chitty chat with you all and other Patreon creators, I've been thinking that for my 2-week family trip in June, where I probably can't work on the explicate cuckin-comic, I think I'll aim to do something else for you guys. I might put it up to a vote too?

I'm thinking I could do an innocent illustration of our trio, or a character sheet for them/Owen, or write a short story. All stuff I'd be excited to sneak away and work on, and would be innocent enough if I get caught ;D Let me know what you all think?

ALSO, I need help in brainstorming up a new way to display this links list below; it's getting EPIC in scale and I'd love a way to keep it all handy and easy to find. Maybe it should be its own post and I just link to it at the bottom of each page? What would be the handiest for you?
