Far Out There

Deep down, he’s thinking “Dang it, the convention always makes me put shoes on, even if going barefoot is totally true to the character design, but THIS guy just gets to run around everywhere and nobody says anything?”

So, I thought I had this page totally finished -like, I had everything colored and the text was in place and everything- before I realized I’d totally forgotten to draw Avatar in the back. Because this is a totally professional webcomic, major characters just randomly dispensary all the time in those, right?

By the way, artist rant: the kids’ eyes, drawing them has been really weird. I don’t usually give Conventional Wisdom characters eyes as detailed as Far Out There’s, and since they’re usually not on the same page it rarely matters. But with a page like this, I wasn’t really sure what to do. It feels weird to put some characters with little dot eyes right next to others with big anime eyes, but the kids just looked too different any other way. (And hey, one less thing to color in, that’s always a plus)

(Historical Notes: This has come up before, but Trigger’s feet must be REALLY cold with all that snow outside.)
