It's always the quiet ones |

With this comic, we meet Melanippe, the blacksmith (and
my 'new character' binge ends. For now). The big girl
from Gotaland - yep, she's a Goth in the traditional
sense - is actually my favourite character to draw. Mind
you, she does present certain challenges. A lot of
comicking is about getting as much expression as
possible out of your characters... after all, they're
images on a page. They can't speak or move. Melanippe is
kind of the opposite of that. She's based off that sort
of person who has an unreadable expression at all times.
There's a sense of both inertness and power about such
people. What's she thinking? She could be planning your
murder. Or she could have fallen asleep with her eyes
open. Actually, no, wait. She wouldn't do that. I've
seen people do that and it's kind of gross.
At the moment, I'm working on some genuine content to go
in the ponderously titled About
section, which is embarrassingly empty right now. I'm
not sure which addition I'll finish first, but in the
meantime let me just say that the lack of variety in
Greek fonts is staggering. Somebody should do something
about it. I volunteer the Greeks.
And finally... a much-deserved shout out to
Press Start,
a fun retrogaming comic. I feel a sense of kinship with
this comic, as we both feature characters with no pupils
in their eyes. Seriously, look closely. Irises but no
pupils. Creepy. |

Marijuana? It's harmless
really, unless you fashion it into a club and beat somebody over
the head with it. |
