Mightier than the sword

New ACOS, done entirely in pen!
Well, except the colouring, corrections, and an extra sound effect I added at the last minute. I tend to consider the "drawing my own panel edges" a failure, I and straight lines are not on the best of terms. Still, overall the pen thing is working pretty well, though I'm still not sure if not being able to mess with the picture too much once it's inked is good or bad. It means I don't spend so long fiddling pointlessly, but also means I can't fix the sort of large scale errors of flow etc that I only notice once it's "finished" (like the fact that what's going on in the penultimate panel isn't very clear)

Also, I belatedly realised that it might help I I bought decent (or at least not crap) paper.

I like the last panel best - how you drew the eyes when they're usually snoopy dots. Also Celeste's range of expressions is hilarious.

Thanks! Though I prefer to think of them as Tintin dots :)

So...could you figure out what was going on? Cam couldn't. It was Much Clearer in my head :/

uh, they felt mud dripping on them then got caught in a mud landslide?

Close, and that's pretty much what Cam said (after rereading it a few times)

They noticed that they were walking through mud (it felt funny on their feet) and then noticed the dripping mud, and then got caught in a mudslide. But I think you and Cam's interpretation actually fits the images better :)
