even more smugness (sensing a theme yet?)

I made a whole bunch of little reaction images in response to comments on my last post (most from reddit) but I wanted to share them here aswell (no context, naturally), so have a little thread! ^^ #drawing #sketch #watercolour #pencil #oc

Girl (henceforth Alessa xD ) taking out an ear-pod and looking confused ^^

**WARNING: Blood/Gore on page 2**
(it's a horror comic, I forgot to mention that...)
Next three pages (as I did these in a set of 6) ^^ I love writing dialogue (though I'm still pretty bad at it, but that's what the practice is for! ). ^^ #drawing #watercolour #pencil #oc #comic #sketch

Comic page of Mei waking up Nathaniel to keep watch with her.

Comic page of Mei and Nathaniel discussing the monster they are hunting.

Comic page of Mei and Nathaniel discussing the next steps (a lot of discussion happening here ^^ )

Hm, I want to start posting the pages of my comic, though starting right in the middle feels kinda weird. ^^ If you're interested you can find the rest here: imgur.com/a/fools-guid... and a more mobile friendly version here: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/fo... #drawing #watercolour #pencil #oc #comic

Comic page about a girl (Alessa) waking up in a candle-lit room done in pencil and watercolour.

Comic page about the same girl complaining about the sound of the waves, I spent a lot of time thinking about the wording here, I hope it turned out alright. I do definitely like how the waves came out. ^^

Comic page about the guy offering the girl some ear plugs. xD
