Comic #88: Chelsea’s Party Pg. 9
Monday, June 18th, 2007I absolutely love drawing forest backgrounds.
Sorry about the lateness in getting this one posted. I’ve had a lot on my plate this week, but I was determined not to miss the update this time. Yes, it’s in grayscale, since from this point on I’ll only be posting the color versions as a reward for Paypal donations. 
The last update was a sneak preview of things to come!
This is the first time we really get to see the level of Persephoni’s inner dedication to Chelsea. It must be hard for someone to have the “mothering” instinct when the child is completely unaware of their existence. I do plan on doing an origin comic for the pair, showing how Chelsea first found Persephoni, but I will save that for one of the book releases.

Always fun to come into the office and catch my Peter&Company tale for the week. Thanks again for all the laughs and smiles since the beginning.

Sweet. Persephoni’s emotions come across very well. Yes, you can see the mothering instinct there, and the frustration she feels at the limited interaction she has with Chelsea.
I especially like the last frame–silhouetted the figures against the forest background, very much like a movie scene with the camera slowly zooming out as the scene fades. Nice touch.

As somebody who can never draw hands well, I think my favorite panel is the one with Persephoni’s face, her hand, and Seth’s hand. Nice work. It looks great.
