Quick time skip to the end of the day because we’ve seen the school enough for the time being.
Also, in preparation for my trip to Nevada for SNAFU-Con, I’ve been making some drawings to bring prints of. One of them is up now on my Society 6 store: a larger version of the artwork from my Selkie bookmarks. I’m bringing that and a couple other prints with me to Nevada. 🙂
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" was what I wanted to use, but it seemed a bit too verbose for Selkie's age level.
And, the wait continues! Damn, Dave, that was one mean cliffhanger! 😛
School runs 7AM to 5PM? Damn. You sure that clock’s right?
Meant that to be pointing at 8am and 4pm. Although now that I think about it, it should probably be 3pm. :
Is that how long elementary schoolers *go* these days? Jeeeeeeez. I’m in my 20s and when I went, it was 8:45 to 3… Sure some folks were there earlier but it seems you’ve got class *starting* earlier.
Not a criticism necessarily – if your research stated that that’s how long elementary kids are in school these days, I’d believe it, what with all the nationwide conversation about extending the school day…
Its 8a to 2:30p here in Louisiana.
My kids have to be at school by 8:45 and aren’t released until 3:25, hope that’s helpful.
… is Mina wearing *lipstick* ?
I’m guessing today’s classes weren’t ones she likes. 😛
Please think about colors a little more before you make a giant red splat behind a character. I see now that it’s a chair, but blurry morning vision was making me wonder if the absence of a mystical bow-tie had caused her to bleed out and slump over, and why the teacher didn’t seem to care.
Brrr at first I thought that red chair was blood, and I thought it had something to do with blood.
At the end I meant bow not blood.
Eh, he just has to add a little shading, otherwise it doesn’t look too out of the ordinary considering blood spatter normally isn’t chair-shaped
Shading, yes. But I protest that it isn’t chair-shaped. Maybe it would be chair-shaped if she weren’t sitting in it, if you saw it unobstructed. But she is leaning over, and the shape of the red is a splat on the wall and two big drips below her, and if you’re just waking up with blurry eyes or have sight troubles in general, that is a girl passing out and falling over because she is bleeding out.
Agreed. Bright red chair was not a good call, Dave. Live ‘n learn.
Can’t wait to see you over here in Nevada for SNAFU Con, Dave! Can’t wait to see what becomes of the Smiths:)
Looking forward to it! 😀
Meanwhile, a giant fish-robot has emerged from Lake Superior, and is threatening nearby communities.
I also meant to put “the” before “bow”.
So close to quoting Wing Commander with what you wanted Selkie to say…
