A12 - A17 shopping

 

I started to use thicker lines from this page. Also keep in mind how tall/short they looked compared to each other here.
Ah Pompo chan's eyes look rather uncanny when they're fully open.

Oh I tried some experiments here.
a) panels are devided by characters instead of frames. (Not done well on this page)
b) clouds are used like speech bubbles. (A tad confusing because conventionally cloudy speech bubbles are used to show characters' inner voices.)
c) thick thick lines (I LOVE THEM!)
Also the sun having eyes for some reason.

Yeah so I told you about this before. It's like a magic trick and not some real wizardry.



Oh those 2 pages where they're shopping together... They're just TERRIBLE!

The pacing is really bad... Why? Because emotional scene should take more room (more pages.)

I believe this pacing issue will be there for a while... I started to draw first instead of writing scripts first. So some pages have too many words while others feel rather... quiet?

Now I should address what Mumu's saying here...
He doesn't lack empathy completely, but he couldn't feel it towards Pompo chan for many reasons. Mainly because he can't trust any adults.
Idk if I depicted that well, man. But I guess my explanation would help.

Ah yeah lastly, Mumu's highlight in eyes can change its shape depending on the level of his discomfort. As I said earlier, he never fully trusts any adults. So the circles are never truly filled and instead look like compressed spaghetti.

A22 - A27 grooves

I love this page. I want this kind of a page sometimes. They have to understand they're different. I also want to contrast Laichi's "absolute control (over the child)" and Pompo's "guiding." When I say guiding, the basic idea is that Mumu can tell Pompo what he feels even when they don't agree. Man, I can't believe his heart is still functioning after eating fried butter. How?  Again the pacing issue is very serious.   I just wanted to draw the rainbow wave. Yay I love this page! It was A NIGHTMARE to color those glittery clothes! It should be very obvious, but the song name is called Boogie Shoes. But this is also a reference to a movie called  Knock at the Cabin . A gay guy loving disco is too stereotypical I feel... Heck, Pompo chan is full of stereotypes! This is what happens when the creator forgets to clarify what is satire and what is not. Oh well, I'll try to make them more 3 dimentional... figuratively. I'm not talking about the ...

A28 Purple up

Image
So this is the last day of their bonding vacation (feels kinda weird. I think it's too short to be called a vacation) Took me a while to find out the right colors of purple for their clothes... I had to make em purple as it's the mixture of their personal colors (red and blue.) I like color symbolism. You have seen it a lot before this page right? Rainbow - Obviously gay but just to indicate they're happy (that's why I say gay instead of lgbt) Oh yeah also used as the symbol of autism. Pink yellow blue - Pan color. Mostly used on Pompo chan's stuff Red/Green - hero/villain black/white - adult/child.  You see this contrast used in their eyes, hands and feet color.

progress of A29

It's a very rare angle for Pompo. I have to come up with a good background for the 3rd cut...  But since I used rainbow as the frame, drawing the sky makes the most sense to me. (That's why I filled it with blue for now.)
