Comic for Thursday, May 26th
May27
Hey. I think I remember those characters. They showed up before, right? 😉
Looks like the rainfront is catching up to them.
Sorry for short author ramble. Been a less then stellar week (entirely unrelated to comic things). I’m sure I’ll make up for it comment reply essays, though 😉
I realized I forgot to do related comics last time.
Related comics!
- Peter likely initiating the rush to ‘uncover grand conspiracy and drive off the imperialists’.
- A likely contributing factor to Peter’s current mood.
- Another one.
- Naomi last seen sleeping on a bench. It wasn’t raining then, in her defense.
come on peter, just because YOU cant punch doesnt mean its a bad idea. tho i think he belives in sun tzu’s maxim; the true art of war is wining with out ever even pulling out your sword.
and yeah delta-v is right, in thoes first 4 you get a real sence of her mood shifts. also she get rather cute in the 4th one
I reckon Peter prefers any punching to be strictly remote, and preferably between his enemies. Additionally, most the ‘bad guys’ have more TPP (Total Punching Power) so getting in an unplotted out brawl is probably not wise.
Expressions are something I want to work on. Naomi is the easiest, since she tends to have a pretty mobile expression and wide spectrum of moods; Peter’s mood usually falls in the dour-smug-ambivalent spectrum, and Mium’s mood usually doesn’t get out curious-bored linear spectrum… both of those are still easier then Kally and Miko who typically only have shades of annoyed… 😛
If Kally and Miko ever met, which one would win the Grumpiest Character contest? ^^
I suppose there’d have to be separate prizes; Miko is more petulant and foul mouthed grumpy while Kally is more perpetually unhappy grumpy.
That said, if they actually met, [spoiler], because [spoiler] actually [spoiler] [spoiler] and [spoiler] doesn’t [spoiler] [spoiler] anyone [spoiler] [spoiler].
Hmmm, so Peter’s juggling act is getting away from him? No wonder he’s a bit gloomy. 🙂
Your expressions are getting more nuanced all the time. Nice touches.
Getting away from it implies he had it together previously… 😉 Though I suppose for him it’s mostly a state of mind. The world rarely goes exactly as planned, it’s just a choice between ‘yes, I can work with this’ or ‘this sucks’.
Plus I suspect that this may be less of a surprise to him them a natural consequence he wasn’t looking forward to. I think much of it things he may or may not have accounted for are currently outside his direct influence, and that bothers him.
