Making of "World of Parentcraft"
🕑 Added 2021-02-25 17:53:38 +0000 UTCFor those unfamiliar with World of Warcraft terminology, it translates as:
Thanks for handling the kids for us tonight! We already put the baby to bed, but you'll need to entertain the older one for a bit. He learned some new tricks recently, so watch out he doesn't wear you down or get mad. If he gets too much, just give him his iPad until he runs out of energy. If the baby wakes up, keep giving him his pacifier until he goes back to sleep. *Dad joke about dealing with poop*. Be back Later! Good Luck!
The original comic went like this:
I pushed the confusion by making it a "wall of text" said at the reader like you're the mouse.
When I remastered it, I thought it might be fun to have the mouse's reactions as the onslaught of crazy instructions are thrown at her. I'm pleased with how it came out, but OMG it took forever! It seemed so simple, but the subtle differences and then inking/coloring them over and over again took ages!
I took a screenshot of a stage I don't normally capture for this one. After I rough it out, I bring in the outlines from my model sheet. This helps me keep on model. As they were wearing different clothes in this one, I drew them in frame 1 before repeating the outlines for the rest.
I wanted to show a smooth transition of Fran being ushered out of the door by Dad Cat. I moved him from panel 1 to panel 2, so it didn't look like he suddenly disappeared.
The mouse was fun because I got to use what I'd learnt from the Gadget picture I drew before!
