My cat just had kittens : D There were a whole bunch of complications as usual, but the little guys are alive and well, and that's all that matters! There's a white one and a black one, and they are the cutest thing ever! I'd post a picture if I knew how…
About the page : after working so hard on a detailed sketch, I just couldn't bear to alter it with shading. The scribbly feel comes from the high texture paper. I started it on plain paper and didn't like the feel of it. It's much more alive this way. (I know, I'm a weirdo)
I changed the way Aude's parents look a bit - in the beginning, I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do with them, so since I couldn't decide on what they should look like, I just drew what came to mind and of course they came out looking a lot like my own parents. Aude's childhood is very loosely based on mine, but her issues are not the same as my own - so mom, dad, don't take it personal : )
I love drawing realistically, so this page was fun to draw. I had good reference pictures, so that helped. All the background text actually took just as long if not longer… but when you stop to think about it, there's a million of enraging things that all parents tell their kids. Well, I'm gonna be optimistic here and say "most parents". I hope I never repeat any of this to my kids, but we hear that stuff so much, it just embeds itself into our brains! (-_-); Still, I'll do my best.
Actually now that the characters are hiding most of the text, it's a bit hard to make out what they're saying. If you look really well, you might be able to spot a tiny "Happy birthday, El!" in there : ) Actually her birthday was yesterday, but oh well.Go visit her comic, The Broken Mirror : http://www.the-broken-mirror.net
Ah, the original for this page doesn't include the text in the background and I'm selling it for 50$.
