Swampy & Jinx #11
Added 2022-08-28 05:17:30 +0000 UTCVery rough, but a good sample of the sketch-and-'ink' first stage of a comic.
It's been a busy past week or so in the shop, but feelin' a bit under the weather today so I'm takin' it easy.
Doc.

Sandy already jumpstarted him into puberty, per canon, so I'd score his naiveté at around -4

2022-08-29 13:43:13 +0000 UTCIt's a proportion thing. This is an early sketch-stage pic, and I usually get some proportions wrong. In this case, the initial 'ink' of Swampy's head was too small, so I stretched it to correct that. Conversely, Jinx' head in the first panel is a bit too small for his body- when I finish the final strip, I'll probably stretch his muzzle a bit and shorten his neck. And canonically, Jinx is 11. He started out back in the day at around 14, but I thought the character worked better as a slightly more naive youngster.

2022-08-28 23:52:59 +0000 UTCoh, he did quite often until Swampy got his girl pretty much defending him. but that was more for Doc's "feelings" than for Swampy compared to the situation with Jinx here. hehe

2022-08-28 20:50:24 +0000 UTCIt's a special lad that can do puppy dog eyes over the phone. Maybe Jinx has superpowers...

2022-08-28 14:36:21 +0000 UTCthat's for sure, but it's more "for Doc" than "for Swampy" in a way.
Karmakat
2022-08-28 11:39:12 +0000 UTCExcept tape him to the ceiling. That's reserved for Swampy.

2022-08-28 11:38:03 +0000 UTCJinx is like Doc's "adopted son" he would do a lot more for him than Swampy for sure.
Karmakat
2022-08-28 11:35:59 +0000 UTCSad puppy eyes, and if this takes place after the battle bot incident, Doc probably trusts Jinx enough with a powersuit to let him use it. Jinx has proven himself able to handle one responsibly, Swampy not so much.
