Choices, Choices.

Let's start with that trade i was doing!

This is Jen.

she apparently is covered in purple.
I was trying something new and it appears to have worked, so no complaints on my part.


And this is the entire comic-
it's a snippet of the life of Bubbles (i would make his name a link except that there's nothing to link it to) from somewhere within the canon of the Action Transvestites. I've got SO MUCH SHIT to say about this thing so but I really want to give you guys a chance to read it and figure it out on your own first.


Alright, so, for starters, this thing.. went through so many stages.
the sketch. (the last panel was actually like three panels)- I don't think i have a copy of the sketch anymore.
the inks... which i have, and may post in the future-
the inks were originally done traditionally with my black copic sketch.
the first thing i tried once it was scanned was coloring the lines.. but this was hard as shit, so i stopped, made the borders for the panels, and started redefining some of the shittier shapes (first panel, last panel, mostly) .. did it without changing the color of my brush, too, which is why everything is brown.
the rest of the linework kind of worked itself out from there- I was -REALLY- liking the sketchy look, and with some thought decided that it worked, and from there it was just making the line bigger/cleaner for close-up shots.
and blue... blue happened because blue goes with brown, and also because bubbles's shirt he's wearing IS that light-ass blue (and it was the only other color I'd used when trying to color the lines).
pretty much everything after that was on purpose, though :3

anyway..... i had this idea in my head- you've all seen that episode of EVERY SINGLE SITCOM where someone is sort-of dating more than one person. . . and one of those people makes them PICK ONE ALREADY.

This is.. bubble's response.
