Human shield always here to help! (Even though he doesn’t always intend to)

Why is siffrin a missle? Why not :3

Working on comic stuff and I’ve just realized I’ve made the exact same frame in 2 different pages. *THE STARE OF DISAPPOINTMENT*

It’s almost time!!!!!!!!!

My first ever official comic is coming out tomorrow!!!

Main critique: character consistency/lack of character chart

Probably the biggest thing i should’ve had in the first place is a character sheet. Basically a reference to look and see if my blorbos look consistent

Looking at these images. The first image is slightly different in the head shape. My ideal shape would be the first image. I didn’t really draw Oscar or Jansen outside 1-2 pages in my sketchbook so.

Next comic (if i work on another) is first making a reference sheet and drawing my blorbos from multiple angles. And also have them colored so i can reference 1 image rather than previous comic pages.

Next critique is the backgrounds. The first panel i traced out a still image. But then later found a 3D model online.

Link to 3D model: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/retro-diner-ef16f2b4b88e4dad877347fff2ee0eef

Which results in this inconsistency with the counter. (Ignore it, the counter moved for the plot. Also so I can do this shot)

I do admit my favorite panel is the one who had no backgrounds and i was free just making shapes to convey emotions. Hopefully my next project has less backgrounds (that or less of an interior) that or I actually plan out my backgrounds more.
