Okay, so I moved the setting of this conversation between Des and Penny from the stadium to opening day of Widmore’s boat race and I added a cranky Widmore on a kingly throne. It gave it more of a fairy tale vibe to me.
If you’re just tuning in, here’s the story so far.
Just realized it’s been a few weeks since the last update. Been a little buried by other projects. I did manage to pop off some new arts in the interim.
Checky check them on my tumblr:
1966 Batgirl & Batman for my wife for our upcoming anniversary.
A little tribute to Flapjack. I miss him.
Desmond gets his call to action and so ends chapter 1 of the Desmond and Penny fairy tale.
I had a little break from the comic (2 whole weeks!), but it wasn’t a fun, leisurely break. My other professional life, while still in the realm of art, has gone in directions that I think most career-minded folks would be thrilled with–more responsibility, more power, higher title, etc–and I am good at it, but it doesn’t jive with my own aspirations. I would honestly be oh so happy to sit in a room and draw this all day so long as it paid the bills. Sounds like a goal for 2011!
My art is like therapy to everything else going on. So know that when I miss a week, it kills me. I look forward to making comics more than anything! Thanks for all your support. You’re the best!
And we have our villain! Every good fairy tale needs one. So what do you think? Is Mr. Widmore an evil jerk or just an overly protective dad?
It would be awesome if Charles Widmore secretly loves Desmond. I reckon he has to be mean to Desmond just to help get him to where he is supposed to go. And how do Widmore and Eloise always know what Desmond is supposed to do and where he is supposed to be? Maybe the clue is sitting on Widmore’s desk.
