Chase and Bienfang…
I was not liking these scenes until I borrowed Bone from the library and realized comic pages/scenarios don't always have to have the characters in some kind of dangerous something happening scenario. (It's a great book. I still haven't read it all yet. I'm 1/4 there.) Eh…well a few weeks ago, I had my mom read chapter 10 and 11 and she said there isn't anything happening. She said I should make something happen. So I'm working on it, but for now I'm enjoying the current build up scenarios as well.

Let's talk about Bienfang. I love dogs. I could have made this character a horse, but dogs are so much easier and more fun to draw. And I wanted a big dog and a lil dog in the comic. XD EEE! Owning a real dog for a year has really helped me with drawing dog anatomy. Bienfang seems more lifelike now and he acts more like a dog I think. Those animals are crazy!

Let's talk about Chase. I both hate and love this character. I found him to be the most challenging character to draw. In chapter/visions 1 and 6, I always messed up on him. I hate those drawings. But now… he looks too cute. He looks like my old bishonen drawings. He makes Scout look ugly. My poor ugly Scout… Yet… being too cute isn't so bad…
He's challenging character wise too. There's a lot about him ,but I don't want him to up stage the main characters.

I've been trying to keep these two characters out of the spotlight. I've cut two scenarios involving them so far. One was the capture of Pepe in visions 5 (Bienfang hilariously picks up Pepe and handed him over to Chase. I was even setting it up in the last panel of visions5p22 with Bienfang's big nose right behind Pepe.)

And in visions 6 after Starla runs away with Pepe, Bienfang talks to Chase (basically it was Bienfang telling Chase who Pepe really is). I think I'm putting a lil bit of those scenarios in here. (It's ridiculous how much I obsess over these TPCTH scenarios…)

Well enjoy. I hope I didn't reveal too much and I hope you're following the story ok. ^^;
