major thanks to the wizards at Astute Graphics for saving me from actually having to draw a bg in the last panel here, I just copied the one from the next page (which itself was modified from the one at the beginning of the chapter) and hit it with their lovely halftone plugin 🙂
Last batch of pages for this chapter, yay! HUGS FOR EVERYEON!
I was gonna spend a week doing some commissions but then I submitted this thing for an Ignatz and maybe I better, like, finish out this first arc before the judges look at it? That’d be nice.
There’s three more pages left before that happens!
We’re getting close to the end of this chapter, and to the end of the first job! Once that’s done it’s probably gonna be time to do some more work on the website’s presentation of this thing, and maybe even try promoting it…
Surely this is a very safe and sensible thing Alba is about to do. Lunarians are nothing but sensible and pragmatic.
Sorry for the gap there for a while. I’ve been busy and there’s been some technical issues with the files for this project that’s been making it hard t really get in the groove on it. I’ve got these somewhat handled now.
Alba has absolutely no idea what Zaffo just did to the Jobclown.
And here we go with the last part of Alba’s first job on Earth! Time for her to show why the Clowns thought she’d be good at this sort of thing.
I was thinking of a couple of things for this sequence:
The reactions to Asterix’s evil soup in Asterix and the Laurel Wreath (Goscinny and Uderzo, 1971)
and the goofy expressions in the freakout scene in Haredevil Hare (Chuck Jones et al, 1948)
and the drug reactions in Hare Remover (Frank Tashlin et al, 1946)
I may be stealing the “etc…” gag from Asterix and the Laurel Wreath when this happens again later on in this story. We will see. It was a lot of fun doing these goofy little paintings of Bailey!
Surely Bailey has this situation completely under control.
Meet Bailey! She’s normally pretty good at her job but it will become quite apparent that she has not been trained for this. Really nobody is.
Here we go with part 2 of Special Weather Event. This is the second attempt at a cover for it; the first one ended up feeling more appropriate for part 3, so now I’ve got a tiny fraction of a future buffer? Maybe? We don’t really have the script for this part nailed down to the point where I can quite start drawing it anyway, I should work on that soon.
I had to design this character before I could put her on the cover; you can see her model sheet and read a little about what I was thinking over on Patreon. Also the cover for part 3 is in that post.
