Dead Winter Minicomics Batch #18 (Patreon)

This week I'm back with two more minis to share.  Thank you for your patience last week, I've been somewhat overwhelmed with work and needed something to give, and the minis happened to be it.  Having such a large buffer is nice, so I was able to take advantage of it for the first time in I don't know how many years.  But either way, I'm back on track and have some new strips to share, so let's get right to them!

#054: When picking out which strips I want to do I try to mix up who the subjects are, and I want to include some secondary characters as much as I can.  Randy hasn't shown up in the minis in a bit so I wanted to put him at the heart of one- being a timid pushover, he's found himself a bully, but he fortunately has Monday for a roommate.  Monday is a man whose trade is violence, but he doesn't resort to it as a solution to every problem, he can project his aura to resolve conflicts with a sheathed sword, in a Sun Tzu sort of way.  In the last panel I wanted to convey that sort of withering feeling of recognizing a bigger fish and just agreeing to avoid any trouble.  Now Randy can enjoy his drinks in peace, thank you Monday.

#055: In game terms Lizzie has the fastest movement of the crew so I wanted to draw her zipping around.  When Amy catches her she's still looking in the direction she came from so Lizzie skids to a halt behind her.  Her question is a fair one- Lizzie and her crew are always running around doing tasks, like when they're in the active party in the game they're out on an errand, and if that character isn't selected the game presents them as being back in Tombstone doing their other jobs, so they're just always doing something.  There's a bit of personal projection in this strip too, since I'm always tired, but there's always work to do so I gotta knuckle down and do it.  The last panel is sort of how I feel lately.

That's it for this week's batch.  I'm going to focus on getting the main page done before next week but I should also get some minis done as well.  Thanks again for being patient, I'll check back in next week with more!  Until then, take care.
