SURPRISE! well I'm still retired, Dont expect anything else anytime soon
This started when I had an idea and I wanted to try it out. I saw that I was nearly at 1 million pageview and thought "wouldnt it be cool do something for reaching that landmark like the other celebration comics" so I got all inspired and drew this, but couldnt actually wait for it to reach that number so I'm posting it now. Doing this again has reminded me how time consuming it all is. Revisiting the themes of earlier celebration comics like [link] I felt it was a fun idea and I wanted to draw maggie ivy and drew fatter, so here it is
This was a tough one, it is essentially a collage as maggie and ivy basically took up a sheet of A4 each , drew was drawn separately, then cut out, the back of sofa was cut of and drew was stuck behind maggie, ivy was cut out then stuck on to another sheet of A4, then the sofa drawn so that the two images would connect, then all of it stitched together in photopaint, I tried to hide the join line but you can still see it,
I went over all the line art I did with thick lines to give a bolder more comic feel, I think it emphasizes the fatness well,
I'm something of a disillusioned star wars fan and this comics a a reflection on that, I dont have time to go into the issues ive got with the prequels, the special editions, and the changes made by the blue ray and dvd releases, I'd be there all day.
To reiterate DONT EXPECT ANYTING ELSE FROM ME I'M RETIRED FROM THIS, AND JUST WANTED TO DO THIS FOR A BIT OF FUN!
I'm just glad I kept some of my skill after not drawing a thing for several months, I'm pleased with how this turned out and I hope you are to.
