There are two reasons I decided to have Tensaided do a sales pitch:
1 - Fun!
2 - I thought it would let me work ahead.
These three panels took me longer than most story comics.
I fail at strategy.

I don't know if the logic here actually adds up, and I also have no idea how you'd test it. It's not about wearing things that make you appear bigger, it's about suddenly having reduced density with increased volume while maintaining equal streng...

Technically, it's not the best composition to have him hold the potion in a way that overlaps with him like that, but it's actually a clever demonstration on why you should pose characters so their silhouette helps suggest what they're doing, making it actually quite clever so there.

Non-Personal Space.

"Blacksmith Dunkel" is definitely more buff than canon Elliot Dunkel, and one reason for that is simply that all things are relative, and I didn't want him to look puny next to buff hero Susan.
Could canon Elliot achieve such mass?...

Ah, good. Susan's grown out of her chibi phase.

I had severe writer's block prior to making this comic, which is clear evidence that I was distracted by other matters, because this is perhaps the most obvious commentary one could make on Fable 2. 2019-10-10 03:12:55 +0000 UTC View Post

It's tempting to have Susan tie people up in more suggestive ways while having no clue she's doing it, but it's ALSO super tempting to have them tied up in super easy to draw ways forever and ever.
