Never Speak of This Again

Emulating other artist's styles is really hard.

They are driving through Moperville, which is the creation of Dan Shive. http://www.egscomics.com/

Drawing in other's people's styles is hard. The fact that the are all also the opposite gender is just an added complication. I had already designed their genderswap forms, so that wasn't a big deal. Although in Dan Shive's style, the main difference between how I show the difference between men and women through the face in Lovecraft Yaoi is lost. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but in all female characters except Rosiline, if their eyes are black, they have circular highlights. Men have square highlights.
Rosiline is the exception, the highlights in her eyes are square, which is the only way to tell her from Juliette when their heads are shaved and they are too unconscious to have any body language. You know, dead. Yeah… no one noticed this, did they?
Male Rosiline apparently has more piercings than female Rosiline. I just thought he looked better with pierced cartilage, which is odd because she has pierced ears but don't think she's ever worn earrings on screen. I think she had safety pins in her ears once, but no earrings. But dear gods, I really love Rosiline's male form. I love his mohawk so much I almost want to put one on her normally. She's done ponyhawks, but that's not the same thing.
I wasn't sure how I felt about Lysander's hood being cropped for his genderbend, but that got covered by the speech bubble anyway.
I'm also getting really weirded out by all these style changes where Kunni's hair is toned instead of all done in ink. Even if his face is absolutely perfect. In case you haven't noticed from her body language, Kunni's not comfortable around people, especially men. So she's not really happy about being one.
Anyway, here's their genderswapped forms drawn in my normal style.

The background is comprised of four sketchup models, one of which was used twice.
