SPOILED, part 9 - Sketches (Patreon)

I went through a few iterations for both of these illustrations. I initially had some sort of 'outside looking in through the window' idea for Manni and Fenton, but it just wasn't working, neither was Fenton's profile pose - it just didn't feel like it lined up properly, and when I re-read the chapter, neither did his state of undress, so I totally re-drew that to more accurately reflect the text. I do take artistic license on these things at times, but this was a bit of a stretch,

Then I completely redid Terry's shading too, which is something I rarely do after completing the final piece, but when I came back to it after a day or so, I didn't like it. The aim was to have him looking shiny like a balloon, but the finished product just looked odd, like disco lights on him or something, so I went back to something a bit more traditional and that worked better.
