Looks like a sore point with Agnes. She’s been cosplaying Sonya Crimson most of her life and if anyone knows how to be Sonya Crimson it’s our girl Agnes. Have a great week folks and Happy Valentine’s Day this coming Wednesday. I hope you spend it with the one you love <3
Stand up, stand up, stand up for your rights!
By the way, great line work, the pose and muscle twist perfectly conveying the shift from “out of my element and nervous” to “dominant”, and the heavy lines on Agnes’ close-up (which she has not had before) show the emotions of her mood in dramatic relief. I had noticed in “Mirror, Mirror” that Agnes was drawn with lighter lines than Sonya, and that in “Adventure of of the Final Problem”, the weight of line used for Sonja got lighter from panel 2 to 3.
So this long-winded post is a compliment to your expertise in cartooning, using the tools of the craft to convey emotion and role-shift. Excellent work!
Thanks very much for the compliment, pachristian! I do try to keep that thing in mind as I draw the strip. Most of it is just gut instinct as to what might work better or not for any given panel and I don’t have any rules necessarily that I follow. But I do appreciate you noticing the work that I do put into that sort of thing. It means a great deal to me.
