Icing on the cake would be for her to call him that to his face.

If you’re only counting eleven kids, the twelfth is Amanda; she’s off-screen sitting next to Keisha.
I thought this one would end up being half-now/half-later again. Glad it wasn't, I don't wanna get behind again. XD
This library scene went through two versions before I arrived at this final sequence of events. Version 1 was more physically aggressive. Truck tried to jump Selkie, she ran away. She climbed the bookshelves and taunted him by running from shelftop to shelftop, using misdirection and trickery to confuse and bewilder him as to her location. I think it would have made for a fun sequence, but it would have gotten Selkie in a hell of a lot of trouble to be jumping across bookshelves like Batman. Version 2, Truck wanted to sit and talk with her instead of wanting to pick a fight with her. Conversation entailed Truck demanding Selkie apologize for kicking him, with threats to keep hurting her friends if she didn't. The whole thing was just a bit more sinister and methodical than I felt was fitting for Tommy and it didn't really fit with any of his pre-established behaviors. Plus the whole concept of "assaulter demanding his target apologize for defending herself" was just a bit too creepy to go through with and not really something that feels right for the character's age range to be doing.
Had a great time at Anime Central last Saturday! Thanks a bunch to those who managed to find me, sorry I had to do it in such an awkward way. Next year I hope to get on the ball early[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
One of my favorite character traits of Selkie is how she can be both a little sweetheart and a vindictive cuss.
Never make your threats openly. Day trip to ACEN tomorrow! Looking forward to it. 😀 Sorry to be mentioning it so frequently, but since I am squatting in a common area instead of the Artists Alley I just wanna be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Putting the novel in "graphic novel"
Leaning tower of speech bubbles. Quick note about Anime Central this weekend! My plan for the day trip is still to find a spot in the common area and occupy it. I wasn’t able to get an actual Alley table[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In my mind, Selkie is humming a song to herself as she watches this happen. Possibly the Mariner's Revenge Song. I think she'd enjoy that song.
Jessie is a bit naive scatterbrained and bumbling, but she can be authoritative when she needs to be.
Alternate dialogue for Lisa in panel 3: "Bend over, and prepare for drama."
The return of the Terrible Tolerance Poster. -EDIT- I am adding this in at the last minute because I only had the idea at the last minute (sorry!), but do I have any Selkie readers in the St. Louis, Missouri[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I've been looking forward to drawing Angry Trunchbulls berating Principal Ashton. :3
The office seems to be getting a bit full. XD Also, if you happen to be returning, I updated the Director Commentary with some new tidbits. :3 Thanks to Karl for prompting the train of thought.
I really liked the way this one looked without shadows and almost left it at flat colors. Changed my mind though. Also, I originally intended to address the speed with which Barbara Fairweather arrived at the school comparative to Todd directly, but changed my mind because I felt focusing on Todd immediately recognizing her flowed better. But in my first draft, the first few panels were like this: John (the principal): Mrs. Fairweather! We didn't expect you so soon. Barb (holding a smartphone, terse): Shopping. Cellphone. Buying hazelnuts. Ran some redlights.
Principal Ashton has no hand in panel 3. When drawing this one I put a text bubble at the bottom that obscured half his hand, so I decided to just not draw it since a text bubble was going there anyway. XD
