Wilfrith and the Golem Stonemason - 30 (Patreon)

The image I excerpted for the colors was one of my favorite drawings in the entire comic. I workshopped that manic face so so much.

I dunno what it is but I find drawing kissing to be so strangely difficult (really, I do know what it is: two figures interacting in a way that looks like they’re convincingly affecting each other is so difficult, but it feels like it shouldn’t be!).

I also probably didn’t need to, but used my model for the backgrounds here. I had a very specific vision for the angle of the pour spout for the water, after the archimedes screw had been removed and I wanted to be true to that reality. I ended up putting a speech bubble over it anyway, but you know what I drew it correctly.

You can really see between the roughs and the inks how much I changed the interactions between the figures. The kiss isn’t just overlapping ghosts, Wilfrith’s penis interacts with his hand more convincingly. That sort of stuff keeps me up at night until I can solve it visually.
