Happy 2012! I hope you all had a great New Years Eve!
The last strip brought out a lot of emotion in the commentary, I just wanna tell everyone that it was very moving to read the testimonials about the impact bullying can have on someone’s life. If I didn’t personally respond, I am sorry but I hope you know I read every single post you all comment here, sometimes twice!
I went out of town for part of the weekend and was spending time with family for the other parts, so this is a sketch day unfortunately. But to make up for the first post of the new year being a sketch day, I thought I would include, in addition to a sketch of our heroine, a sneak peek at some future cast members. Not ready to give first names or talk about them in detail yet, and their look/design is still being tweaked (not sure about the husband having long hair for one), but here is a sneak peek at some characters way way waaaay down the line in the story: the De’Madiea family (Deh-Mah-Dee-Ay).
Remember, everyone – there’s no guarantee that the De’Madiea are Selkie’s family, or even related to her (well, aside from being obviously the same species).
Happy New Year!
Interesting sketch. I notice the adults are wearing sandals of some kind. I wonder why nobody at the orphanage ever got the idea to let Selkie wear sandals instead of shoes, at least in summer when keeping her feet warm is not a concern.
Other aquatics! Exciting!
Methinks I recall a brief drive to ban sandals from school because they don’t give adequate protection. Mayhap ’tis orphanage policy.
(Sorry, reading a lot of “Nukees”, and King Luca does this to me.)
I think the baby “selkie” is a boy? (Just my guess, of course.) Is he sticking his tongue out? If so, it’s just what a kid would do to ruin a family portrait photo. 😛
It is a little boy! I’m glad that came across, wasn’t sure it would with, well, inhuman facial features. XD
I think it´s the shorter hair that does it. I certainly wouldn´t suggest it´s the Saturn shirt – there´s no reason girls can´t like astronomy.
Looks like Selkie’s going to be introduced to people of her own kind (semi-)soon. 😀 I bet Todd might be a little relieved to see that there’s more of her kind out there.
Aww the baby looks so cute!
Excellent family portrait of the De’Madieas Dave, excellent! Okay, yeah, I know it’s still a rough sketch, but I really like the “regular family” look of it. And, it’s nice to know that we will, eventually, be meeting a family of the same species!
(Thanks for the pick-me-ups over the past week … been a bit of a crummy holiday season for me, Selkie was a definite bright spot for me. 😀 )
Love the comic! and not to be a pain but I think the kids places are off, if the seating chart is correct… but i suppose its entirely possible they moved around when the adults left 😛
Are they? Who is off, if you can tell.
