Bonus Preorder Doodles 2019 - 2330nm (Patreon)

I'm super way behind on filling all the preorder doodle requests for TVB vol 2, bUT! I've started working on them slowly! Gonna post up a few that I finished recently; I'm hoping to jam through a bunch of them on my vacation, after making sure all the comic pages for this month are complete!

This one was for 2330nm, who requested a doodle of Chief Rice from This Vacant Body :) I decided to draw her younger; she used to be in the k9 unit and trained a lot of german shepherds, so I included one of her favorite girls, and she and Esh would work Pride marches together :))

(I've been thinking a lot about my choice to make a comic about police officers in the climate of this country, lately. I approached the narrative of TVB like a detective story; generally, the people trying to solve the crime are genuinely doing their best, despite their own human failings, and despite the systems and circumstances around them that might hinder them. I don't want it to be confused with a "pro-cop" story that's trying to idealize the system we have. So please don't take this as a statement that I think cops belong at pride or anything; I know that situation is complex. These particular cops in this particular story would be there because they are part of that community and wanna keep them safe. I hope that makes sense~)
