An animated GIF showing each stage in the process. This is the first "making of" in the new style, so there's the new shading stage at the end!
I've had this idea knocking around in my head for years -well basically since acquiring a toddler! The inner struggle of being a mom is overwhelming at times. You don't want to helicopter parent, but then your mind conjures up all the ways something could go wrong!
It never seemed quite interesting enough, visually, to do this comic in my old style, but the new bouncy characters and enhanced lighting effects really gave it the punch it needed!
I was originally going to have the 2 shoulder moms as "chilled out" and "stressed" mini moms, but the angel/devil trope is more visually appealing. An argument could be made that they should be the other way around, but I liked this setup because the devil got to get mad and then the angel ended up being the one to agree.
