The Fluffer - Page 12 [Ink]
🕑 Added 2019-01-23 21:02:09 +0000 UTCI made a pretty big fuckup on this page, and you might have noticed it right away. Lemme explain-
So you may have seen my recent doodle over on FA where I announced I got a new tablet for drawing stuff. One of the major reasons I wanted one of those was so I could more easily plan out more complicated pictures, and comic pages are a perfect example of that. It was also makes planning out the speech bubbles way easier, I can just type them out and it'll handle the rest instead of having to manually draw horizontal lines with all the necessary spacing and then test out the writing and erase and fiddle around until it fits...
I was so pleased with how much easier it was that in my excitement I hadn't noticed that I was writing using lower case letters, which up until now I hadn't been. In fact I didn't notice until about half way through inking the letters, which is way too late to fix. So, this page is just going to be randomly in lower case and then next page we'll go back to all upper-case letters and pretend it never happened. Agreed? x3
Another thing I'll have to be careful about is the size I draw at. Sketching digitally, it's super easy to zoom way in and get tiny details precise. I can draw so small now that when I go to trace the sketch over to real paper the details are completely wiped out by the slight blurring that happens when tracing through thick paper. Fox guy's faces are basically guesswork in this page because I just couldn't see them when I was tracing!
Anyway, a new method means growing pains, but I think in the long run it'll work out much for the better. Despite it's issues I hope this page at least looks okay. :P

I was scouring your inks looking for something and thought, "I don't see anything off...", and so I only realized the font change after you mentioned it. It's not jarring and you're keeping consistent throughout the page, so I doubt people will ever notice except in rare circumstances, and even then it's nothing major! I think your new hybrid method will provide you with a lot of room to grow, and we all understand that things don't work out perfectly at first. That being said Kyle's expressions seem great in here, so trust your artistic instincts :) They haven't failed you yet! One detail I'm really liking is in panel #4 where the perspective is looking down on the director, how his hate covers his eyes in shadow with that kind of saddened glum you get when you are really upset but don't want to show it outwardly. Great work, and I can't wait to see what our two participants are getting up to!
