Dead Winter Minicomics Batch #27
🕑 Added 2021-05-07 21:30:49 +0000 UTCSo I got some more minis done this week. I was hoping to get a bit more done but I started an idea that involved drawing a lot of characters per-panel and I didn't quite get it there in time, so today I got two for you, they're both fairly goofy so I hope you enjoy.
#074: This one ended up being funny because I started it, then I got the idea for the next one and put it on hold, then wrote and finished #075, then came back and finished #074, so it is somewhat displaced in the timeline of minicomics. When I write these things I try to balance out not only who is featured but which groups of characters are featured. Some pairings naturally make more sense than others but I try to cover everyone so if, say, in the future when our game development hell work bears fruit someone can come check these out and find strips about their favorite character they like to play as. Commander Cronos is a fun design to just cook up, and it would be funny if he showed up in a future project, so I'll keep him in the back pocket for a while.
#075: This one gets to be the title card because I drew it first this week. This kick first showed up in the main comic where Lizzie kicked Marv and it ended up being her version of a move in the game sprite art as well, so its now a Thing she can do. Being short she can run up the front of a dude and clock them under the chin easy; I'd been thinking what to call it in the game and I think its the Quickdraw Kick on account of the comic debut. The other part of this is that Lizzie has been rudely awakened virtually every single night in the comic, and being a double-shift working person she never really gets a full night sleep. So she's not only operating at partial power, but she's been going through this whole ordeal and getting stronger with what is essentially Piccolo's weighted training cloak on, so the idea of a well-rested Lizzie having this hidden potential power limit is just funny to me, but it also makes sense. Make sure you get a full night's rest when you can as well.
That's it for minis this week. I should have more next week since I'm on the vaccine #2 and feeling sort of light in the head, so these are low-impact enough that I can probably knock a few out. Thanks for your patience with me, I'm 3/4 of the way to my season one goal for these! Until next time, take care.
