Alder's Prelude - Mix Up Part2

This is kind of a joke at people who just seem to feel the need to have to advertise their baby's gender with clothes. It just seems like people are just terrified their baby girl might be mistaken for a boy or vise versa.
Ashien here doesn't care that people are making this mix up. It's just confusing her.
The first part was the straight line so this is the punch. There is Adler looking all girlie, but she just doesn't get it.
If he was to get any more cute I think I would have to put a diabetic warning on these comics.

I like that Ashien is alone in the tub with Adler and she's talking to him like he's part of the conversation. He's just making random sounds and enjoying splashing around in the tub.

Hardest part of this was that first panel. Drawing Japanese architecture was really hard. It's just all the angles. It took a few tries to get the hang of things.
There were some real nice techniques used on this page. Also quite a few layered effects. One of my favorite touches is that bit of spray from Adler's splashing.

I realized too late that I made a small goof. In the fourth panel I should of had Ashien looking in the opposite direction. That way the format of my layout would flow to the next panel better. It's a trick I learned for layouts from the "How to Draw Manga" series published by Antarctic Press. It advises to try and have the character look or have it flow in the direction of the next panel. I know it's not a set in stone rule, but I think it would of helped here.

Hope you enjoy and feel free to post comment.
