Entry #5

WEEW. There we go. I did not expect this one to take this long to finish, and...to be honest, it really didn't. #4 was still by far the most troublesome entry in the project by a good margin.

This one was more of a case of December hitting, all the holiday events going around and then me completely losing energy to work on things.

Development on this one was just funny. It was one of the very first panels I inked, and as such, it was also one I kept coming back to and adding new little details to.

Initially, it was only going to feature Renée (the possum), with only Isabel (the bunny)'s  arm coming out from offscreen to hold the phone, but I was really struggling to figure out a natural position for that, so then the goal post moved to including all of her, which was a bit of a crapshoot because I really wanted to feature her fatass, but she was starting to eat up the focus of the image LOL

I eventually settled on the current pose as a good enough compromise in a very 'butt visible from the front - - still cute' way...heh. Not to worry, though. There will be more opportunities to see the shorty buns in their full glory soon enough >:)

Also, as much of a blast as I had seeing how far I can push the interweaving speech bubble style, this is defo gonna be like...future reference for when it's too much. It is quite chaotic by design as I wanted to convey multiple chars talking at once, but it's not lost on me that it can be a bit disorientating too.

Upcoming entries will go for way less dense dialogue (hopefully), letting the art breathe a bit more. We'll also finally be seeing the set of brand new pages amended into the sequence after the release of entry #1!

I'm including a few extra bits here too. I think out of all the other pages, this one's art stands the best on its own (not a bad or good thing, just...interesting). I went thru a lot of different comebacks for Naomi, trying to balance of funny and lewd as I figured out her personality.

Overall, really proud of of this one (hence the unreasonably large ramble lol).

Enough wall-of-texting, though XD. Hope you are all doing well.
Cheers!
