You wanna hear something funny? I forgot which comic I was editing here and uploaded the wrong page. You guys almost got an FFC page. ^_^;

HA HA! It was only Tai-ra! Fooled you guys! (not really, I just feel silly today)
Not so happy with this page (why can't I ever do two good ones in a row?) I liked the drawing, but as usual, the inking killed it dead. I unfortunately left it too long and rushed the background too much and with my 05 pen dying it came out sloppier than I expected. (*mutters plusitwasmybirthdayandIdidn'tfeellikedoinganythingthisweekend)
heh
eh heh
The idea on the bacground was initially that they were in like a back room-hall-thing, which it why it was darker and the area outside was light to show the outside as being all light. But…it doesn't come across, the room isn't dark enough in the last one…in any of them really…bleh. I should just do these pages in pencil, I hate inking so much, but if I don't keep trying, how am I ever gonna learn, ya know? Also, it scanned kinda blurry…and I'm not sure why. Some of the pages look worse scanned than others. Meh.
Tai-ra's probably the character you've seen the least of so far in the comic. Not in she's had the least appearances, but in that her peronality really hasn't shown much, even on this page you're not getting much of "her." And that in itself is due to her personality itself. It's not that she's withdrawn, she just has certain priorities. We'll get into her character more before the end of this chapter, but she will reveal herself more slowly than the rest.

Thanks for reading even when the pages aren't so hot. ^_^; I appreciate it so much! I hope to see you again next week!
