Thanks guys. The dog is okay for now after his visit to the vet. It's just a waiting game really. He's eleven and will only degenerate further, but we're trying to provide a bit more quality of life at the moment.
I feel I've neglected Nina too often, when she was actually the original fox sister (funny how these things begin), so i'm giving her a bit of avatar time and she has a bit more to do in the comic, Sorry about the colouring around the flamingo's head, but I was just trying out a new colouring technique and focused on her top end, LOL!
I've uploaded a few sketches here. Some may be coloured in future, but I really wanted to show you stuff that I draw when not doing the comic (sometimes it gets all-consuming and I need to have a go at some random doodling). Some of these are older and not posted before, but apologies if I have posted them in an earlier thread.
Hopefully they'll go in a gallery on here at some point.
the first one is an old one featuring Babs with Dr Feather finger's dad... he's 110. she's about 20-21 here.
then theres a portrait of her looking as if you've just said something smart, rather than your loins controlling what comes out of your mouth, which would be difficult with her endowment fogging the mind.
Big in Japan is my idea of what might happen if Lucy went to Tokyo dressed as Sailor moon. Eighties people will know the Alphaville song that the title references, although I did think of Life in Tokyo by, uh, Japan. She's got a crowd of Otaku around her, as well as manga staples of large mecha and grinning demons. Tentacle sex can't be far off. The guy in the inset is Dominic featherfinger, and I always noticed that manga films have an unscrupulous younger villain with glasses that shimmer in close-ups, usually before they rip open some teenager's blouse and laugh mockingly. I do so love good Manga films.
Dominic and Lucy is something where Lucy has to be the caddy for Dominic because she owes him money. Is that the right spelling - 'fore!'
Lucy and Bunt is just some weird sketch I drew that features a spin-off character called Bunt (of Bunt and Greeble Removals). They crop up very briefly in Pandemonium at Prickly Hills, as all affiliated characters will, and there is a potential spin-off story that is quite dark. It's a bit like Taken but in rural England and without Liam Neeson. Bunt is not based on Karl Marx. He's doing quite well by the look on Lucy's face.
