Debts always come due, no matter how far you spread them around town, and somebody always wants a share of the working woman's coin.

Her ears are burning, and it's not just from the desert heat (that too, though, she always forgets suncreen on her nose and ears 😩)

She's not from Ala Mhigo.
Will I eventually practice Alisaie and Alphinaud to draw them in a recognizable and consistent way? Maybe someday!

pencil sketch of a comic page. panel 1 - wide shot of a desert, cactus in the foreground (and a lil cactuar), cliffs in the background, a chocobo carriage rolling across center frame. text "Somewhere in Thanalan..." panel 2 - shot of the carriage's passenger area. On the left, two young Elezen sit, one reading a book with a carbuncle by his feet, the other hanging an arm over the carriage while she groans "Are we there yet?" Across from them, a Hrothgar woman sleeps, a bottle of whiskey in one hand, holding her backpack to her side with the other. Panel 3 - Closeup of the woman's face, eyes clenched and a frown on her face. She mumbles and groans in her sleep, whispering "No..." Panel 4 - A dark void in which a great crystal hangs, a tiny, insignificant figure below it Panel 5 - The moon Dalamud descends, beginning to break up, drowing the world in red flame and shooting streaks of debris across the sky. The Hrothgar woman's eyes bulge open and she shouts "NO!" Panel 6 - The hrothgar woman pants heavily. The two Elezen and the carbuncle all stare at her in alarm. Panel 7 - She grabs her face and groans "Gunnhildr, my head..." From off screen, a gentle voice asks "Uh... miss?"
A scanned pencil-drawn comic page. Panel 1 - The hazy, groggy hrothgar woman squints her eyes at the source of the voice, asking "Huh?... Whazzat?" Panel 2 - She sees two young hrothgar teens, about fifteen or sixteen summers. The left asks her "Are you OK, miss?" while the other looks unimpressed as she replies "*Must* we get involved?" Clove mumbles back, "Wha... ki...? No, wait..." Panel 3 - Top-down shot of Clove fumbling for her glasses. The quarter-full whiskey bottle clanks against the bench. Panel 4 - She grabs her glasses, carelessly scraping them against the bench before awkwardly fumbling them on. Panel 5 - She squints against the bright light as things start to come into focus. Panel 6 - The hrothgar children resolve into the faces of Alisaie and Alphinaud Leveilleur. Alphinaud reitates his earlier 'Miss?' to which Alisaie scowls "She's just plastered, Alphinaud." Panel 7 - Clove sits back with a small smile. "Well, she's... s'not wrong. Yep... And, I'm fine. Just this heat gives me... strange dreams." Before she can say more, the cart lurches to a halt and she is thrown to the floor with a BAM. Panel 8 - The driver shouts over his shoulder, "Fiend on the road ahead, Clove! Time to earn your fare, if you can stand!"
Started working on a comic for my daily sketchbook page a couple weeks back, and I finally got caught up scanning them in so I'm gonna post a couple pages a day. Just going in with no plan or script on these so they're kind of a mess.

Est. Shot - Claudia's, Monarch City est. 1997 Window advertises breakfast, lunch, and cocktails. They're open. Cut inside to Clove the lioness and her possum partner Bev sitting at a table with plates of food. Bev has a beer and grins up at Clove as she listens to her story. Clove is finishing up - 'So I come in, and Stone's entire ass is on fire. Like, fully ablaze.' Bev responds - 'It was not!! Holy shit, and he didn't notice?' Stone is Clove's brother, an Iberian wolf and head chef of the restaurant where they both work. He's a good guy but easily distracted.
The bell above the door goes ding-a-ding. We see an ear and eye come into frame, then a closeup of a shocked Clove saying 'Oh, come on...' Closeup of the newcomer's chest, some loose thick chain necklaces over a Minnesota Wild jersey and a denim lapel with some lesbian pride pins. Closeup of Bev looking miffed as she says 'Awww, no way...' Shot of Booker the smooth collie coming into the diner, a grin on her face. In the background, Clove face palms while Bev leans her head back in annoyance and both say in unison - 'Babe, don't look now, but...'
Bev and Clove from the other angle, both pointing towards Booker and saying in unison - 'My ex just walked in. Wait, what.' Booker's attention has been caught by a cute feline in a skirt and is saying 'oh heyyy there baby' However when Bev and Clove speak, their attention shifts and they look over with a 'hm?' before saying 'just one second, sweetness, is that...'
Booker looks absolutely delighted as she steps towards our heroines, saying 'OH. MY. GOD. CLOVE!!! BEV??!' Clove thinks 'Fuuuuuuuuck' Bev thinks 'A'
Been getting into making comics recently; it's a great way to practice and flex both drawing and writing at the same time.
Here's a lil sketchbook mini-comic done with no plan about Clove and Bev having an unexpected reunion with someone they used to know...
