Chapter: Comic

I was actually pretty shocked at the amount of dislike Steph received yesterday, it was surprising. I will also stress that when a character looks different, it’s mostly because I’m not pleased with the design and want to push a little harder for something different. Usually this calls for trial and error, in my case trial and error is like slipping on a banana peel and falling into a volcano

Yah, Steph’s design in the panel is a little unnerving.

About the comic; So. many. scary. thoughts….. poor man.

It’s not her design, it was just that panel. I dunno, something about her eyes or something. Looks much better in this one.

I’ll admit that in yesterdays strip Steph had the appearance of a major B-itch. Not as much in this one.
And wth do they do behind closed doors? lol.
Louis Campbell

In panel one, her left hand is on her right arm. Just pointing it out.

  That’s Tony’s hand.

    Yep, definitely Tony’s hand, but it is definitely confusing. Character overlap like that can be very delicate.
    - Scotticus
      
      You’re very right,looking back, the strip would have still worked without Tony’s hand, just made myself work a bit more than I had too.

OMG, Zombie survival night. Lol.
Please tell us, How did you think that up?
- Scotticus
  
  Heh, I blame mainly little sleep, an unending heat

….dear god….so many bite marks….

loving this side story

  Awesome, glad you like it, always like Tony/Steph banter.
OutLawRed

kinky.
i’ve had Taryn’s look many a time, for walking in halfway through such conversations.
MexiCanOoO

It is not.

I like Panel 2 Steph, in this one, but it has been a while since you drew her last, and you haven’t since changing your style.

So, uh, I guess, why bitches be hatin’?
You’ll settle into something terrific soon, I’m more than confident in that.
- Scotticus
  
  I just get finniky, Steph is one of the character designs I was never happy with, noses are getting a change, hair styles, trying to make more exaggerated expressions… granted, if I softened up Steph a bit, I’d be scared she’d look like Taryn and Zoey (who already look too similar as it is)
Zenos

if you’re playing left for dead yea rofl
WkdJester

I get this feeling that although he may have been a “survivor”….he may end up helping Chase anyway….either that or be drug into it involuntarily somehow as per the usual antics
damnimawesome

Taryns face in the last panel is priceless.
Insectoid

O_o That is some kind of kinky.
Faith

I think its just her forhead being a bit large is the only unnerving thing. She supposed to be kind of a bitch though guys

It looks like you’re taking inspiration from Diesel, right? Not that it’s a bad thing, you can see Tyson’s influence in every drawing I make. Just curious.
- Scotticus
  
  You are right, among the few artists I really look up to, Tyson Hesse of Boxer Hockey, and Tessa Stone of Hannah is not a Boy’s name are just a few. I wish that I had half the talent those specific two have, I also pull a lot of insight from Pixar as well (I’m a whore for Pixar movies).
  - Ivory
    
    Hanna is not a Boys Name is one of my absolute favorites. Not many updates though…
    - bri
      
      Apparently Tessa has vanished and the publishers wont say a word about where she’s gone to. I miss {…} and the gang, and I’m worried about Tessa :c
bsb

Teryn is way too hot…just saying
Adam

Figures I’d post this pic cause it’s awesome and goes along with people hating on Steph.

What happened to Tony’s hat?
- JesterCorp
  
  Tony took his hat off in this:

  Page, and never put it back on.

Feb 4 was the last time he drew Steph. In five months, he may have changed his mind a bit about how he wanted her to look. Truth is, if you compare the old Steph to this one, the main differences are her hair, darker make-up, and the fact she’s wearing a shirt with cleavage. Actually, if she was wearing a t-shirt and washed off the makeup she has under her eyes, she’d mostly look like her old self. Same pointed chin, same oval shaped/slit eyes, almost same curve to her nose.

The truth is, most people liked it when Steph looked ‘plain’. Little make up, unstyled hair, ect. It kinda fit her bitchy personality. It’ll take some getting used to, but when you compare this Steph to the Feb 4 Steph, the differences aren’t as big as most people seem to think..Just not used to seeing her anymore.
- JesterCorp
  
  Here, I made a comparagraph from the old Steph to new.

    Updated version cause I actually forgot the stuff about her chin/lower facial shape. Still, stand by my thoughts that it isn’t that different.

Zombie Survival…just wait, there will be thousands of sites dedicated to this offshoot of S & M.

“Does this look infected?” “YES”

On the Steph thing: I think part of it is because we haven’t seen her since February, and your drawing style has changed a bit since then. I for one don’t mind the change at all.

In a word; hawt :3

I always knew Steph was out there but cripes, I actually feel bad for Tony O.o

As for yesterday’s Steph, I think it’s mainly just 5th panel Steph that looks weird. To me, it’s because of the eyes and her forehead. Yesterday’s 4th panel Steph looks amazing, but 5th just looks off.

Today’s 1st panel Steph looks a bit wonky, too. I really think it comes down to the forehead proportions. 2nd panel Steph is pretty, though.

I just don’t think I realized how massive a forehead Steph has…

Btw, Scott…you’ll totally have to come up with rules for Zombie Survival…I’d hate to see where else he has marks…
Souffrir

Steph’s hot factor just multiplied by ten.
