15 – Rupert’s Choice
Comic Blog
Okay, this comic posted immediately, so I’m convinced last week’s comic was just cursed. I mean, for that aspect of it. There were a ton of motorcycles outside day and night, so I only got a few minutes of sleep all weekend. I don’t tune noises out, so it was like a surprise snooze alarm every four minutes, without exaggeration. I kept track! For a while I thought it was just the same dude going around the block thousands of times.
Anyway, the comic! The original version had just light streaks the mirror, which was my typical way of denoting anything with glass. With this comic I tried that, but it didn’t feel quite right, so I messed around with the different tools until I found an effect I liked! For those wondering, I lowered the density of the eraser and erased the reflected image. I also added a nice shadow reflection effect to the number etched into it, which will probably never otherwise be seen, so I’ll stick it at the end of all of the text here.
I tried to pay mega attention to the continuity in this one so I wouldn’t have to reupload the image and risk it not working again. I thought I got everything, then uploaded it only to see that it looked like Rupert’s seal was glued to his back in the first panel instead of tucked under his arm. Luckily the replacement comic uploaded right away too.
I realized as I was drawing this that in drawing a bathroom, I’m kind of sticking to a certain niche. I swear it’s just a coincidence! It’ll be more than just toilet humor from here on out! … … I mean, after next week’s comic.
