Killing chibi

This one was a bit difficult for me to get right. The perspective might still be a little off I'm sure, but for the learning experience I'm satisfied.

For the record, these ones are even shorter than the average Last Words character. I would say that's obvious except for the fact that I know it's not and most things I qualify as obvious are generally not to anyone but me. That's one of the things I most enjoy about creating comics: Every single person who reads them interprets them differently. I love how other people find a different meaning in each page than me and I enjoy seeing the responses and jokes people make from them. A big part of why I decided on single panels was because of that. I wanted to get people thinking and making their own little stories for each page. How effective I am in doing that, I have no clue. But it's nice to delude myself into thinking so.

In any case, it looks like the pygmies there really don't like chibis. I can only imagine this leading to disaster if they ever run into the ninja bunnies. I had a lot of fun drawing them with their little masks, so I'm sure that they'll be reappearing at some point on down the road. Who knows what helpless person they'll be tying to a pole and setting on fire?
