Added 2018-05-18 03:04:16 +0000 UTCI know it may not seem so at the moment, but it's not my intention to simply present Parker as "dumb." She just consistently fails to see the worst in people, so she's easy to sucker. I imagined her as Casey's polar opposite in many ways. Where Casey didn't trust anyone, to the point where she couldn't even confide in Royce comfortably without threatening him with blackmail, Parker trusts everyone, to the point where the idea that someone might be less than honest with her rarely crosses her mind until it's too late.

Hey glad you're willing to stick with her here! To be fair I did make her come across a bit thick here, since I'm still introducing her I wanted to make her personality traits obvious initially. For now I can promise there will be more to her as the story goes on.

2018-05-19 23:03:24 +0000 UTCI'd love to get a commission of this dude - getting kicked in the dick by his wife. Now thats out the way, I'd like to address something about Parker and the whole "dumb" comments I am seeing here. Shes clearly naive and easily manipulated, that has been presented, but intelligence has a WIDE range. She could be academically smart but dumb as a brick in terms of common sense/people skills, she could be artistic and creative which is another form of intelligence in its own right. I think people are jumping on the "SHES DUMB" wagon way rather swiftly because we've only seen a fraction of this character and her overall story. Even if she is shown later to be as dumb as a brick in more instances throughout the story I still love her design, shes a very nice change of pace and I think its a bit unfair to colour her in one category just yet.

Reinbach
2018-05-18 21:18:06 +0000 UTCWell in any case I think the way she comes across on this page feels right to me, so maybe it's ok if she's a little dumb on occasion.

2018-05-18 21:17:25 +0000 UTCThat's a good idea about the booksmarts. I'll try to work something like that in.

2018-05-18 21:11:00 +0000 UTCWell said! XD

2018-05-18 21:10:23 +0000 UTCCool! Glad it came across as I intended for you. :)

2018-05-18 21:04:01 +0000 UTCAs of this moment in the comic she mostly comes across as dumb. I think this can be made retroactively gullible if you reveal later on that he was telling the truth and just doing it in a really dumb way. Obviously if that's not the case you can still bring the intended point across other ways but that's just the first thing that comes to my head. It's still a fun page all the same and definitely a fun way to show off a character trait.

2018-05-18 18:21:35 +0000 UTCHis face and those hands in his last panel are hilarious :). The guys in this universe are all horrible liars. I still remember that guy going "I just went GAY all of a sudden!" when Casey confronted him for disappearing on her.

2018-05-18 05:53:56 +0000 UTCThere's gullible and then there's dumb. This page makes her seem like the latter lol. This dude is the worst liar ever.

2018-05-18 05:35:12 +0000 UTCFirst off- holy crap, Parker's breasts look BEAUTIFUL in this update. Especially in that big panel. I'm calling them "Reinbach A-Cups" :). I love big jugs, but the smaller ones can look so pretty and perky by contrast. I forgot how good you were at drawing pouty girls. My God, that's a cute face. And her lil' "I'm not buying it" cross-armed pose is adorbz. One thing I'd suggest to make her seem less dumb is to make her book-smart, so she comes off more as a person with low Wisdom instead of Intelligence. "When Danny said that 'Mommy's moving back in with us!'" LOL :D

2018-05-18 04:04:07 +0000 UTCI wouldn't think Parker is dumb necessarily from this page. Gullible, a bit spacy, and naive as HELL, but not dumb.
