Chapter 3: Page 20
It’s travel montage time! 😀 (Which makes me think of training montages, which gets a certain song from Mulan stuck in my head…)
I apologize for this page being late. From last minute fact checking to extra challenging panels to technical difficulties, this was not an easy page to finish. But I’m excited to finally reveal it to you guys…
VOTE for the comic! (No preview this week either.)
Panel two is especially awesome to me for some reason.
I love her expression and the windblown hair going on. It makes her look so serious.
Thank you! It’s not her usual wary or snarky face, and I’m looking forward to drawing it more often…
She may think it’s a career 180, but Laisren seems pretty happy to just sit there and take in the (totally gorgeous!) scenery while she scrambles around on the rocks. 😀
And I love how whatever that is that she just spotted (A brownie? Or is that the wrong flavour of Celtic mythology?) is just as spooked by her as she is by it.
Yes, now he’s the owner of a butterfly-catching business and his employee does the work. Life is good for him!
There’s not as much information out there on the brownies or pixies of Ireland. I was originally going to have lots those kinds of creatures in the comic before I realized they’re more prevalent in Scotland and England. So some of them I’ve made up, some I’ve adapted, and this one is modeled after a grogoch, which is similar to a brownie in some ways. Leave it gifts and it will help out around the farm, etc.
There are a lot of creatures I’ve had to change in the script because Scottish fae in particular kept creeping into my mind.
Ina looks content in the second panel, wind blowing through her hair, catching butterflies, I could think of worse ways to spend a day.
It’s true. She really hasn’t been appreciating where she is, has she?
LET’S get down to business, to defeat–the BUGS
Did they send me girlies, when I asked… for thugs?
