Description
Okay, these are two characters from the short story i'm writing. I was having a hard time keeping the prose unpurple so I decided to draw instead. The detective's name is Proctor, and the jr. detective, his partner, is Creon. He's just run in to tell his superior that the building down the street has blown up.Edit: I've officially changed Creon's name to Lear because Lear is easier to say. I gave the name "Creon" to someone else... an old dead guy... so it works out. Also, everyone thinks he looks happy? I thought I was making him look shocked.

When you look from a distance he looks happy, but when I clicked full view he looked more shocked and breathless than anything else. Very good!!! Dang!!! I just love how well you can draw emotions in characters!!!

LOL Happy face "MUG" not happy face Creon/Lear.
I like it, the shadows on their faces and clothes are really nice, the only thing that bothers me is Lear's hand on the desk foreground is WAY huge.

Yeah, I was trying to get some real foreshortening going and kinda just gave up halfway though. It was a twenty minute sketch, openCanvas is good for when you're feeling like a good doodle.

To me his expression looks like he's trying to tell his boss some bad news and is hoping he doesn't get yelled at.

...I have two teacher's named Proctor. (They're brothers.)
And they usually have that same ecpression on their faces, which I found funny.
I like Lear's expression. ^^ He doesn't look very happy though. I can't even see 'happy' if I squint.

Thank you! I wasn't going for happy at all! It is called "Happy Face" because of the mug

Yeah, I figured that. (:

Wow. As much as one must love exploding buildings in a plot line, Creon and that mug look a little too happy. Proctor almost looks as if this is a regular occurrence from Creon...

Yeah, a short one (we'll see how "short" it ends up knowing me and my inclination toward pages and pages of witty banter) I hope to start and finish it by the end of the month.

Cool!
NaNoWriMo is approaching again, so in my house we're all stressing about what stories we'll write this year.

This one is hopefully getting entered into a short story competition and getting published. We'll see...
I might do a MODIFIED nanowrimo and pick up on my first nano novel (aka Threadcaster) and try and add another 15,000 words to it since its having a hard time proceeding.

NaNo's certainly good for banging out words and getting things done!

I just love Proctor's expression.
And how his cup doesn't match it. XD

XD Creon looks awfully happy about said plot devlopment, He seems estatic that he may have some abbility to interact and mold the plot in a certian direction. I think it was he who blew up said building sacraficing all those innocents to the God Imhotep to be allowed more than just a bit role in what was other wise Proctors 1 man show. Now using this influence over the story line he is going to see Proctor killed and rise to the status of main character 1
How does my random plot summary sound? XD

Awww but farfetched is fun... and a pokemon ^.^;
So you're telling me that I am in no way right nor correct? v.v

Awww but my idea was so cool, you should totally use it in your short story

Never start a story not knowing where its going. The plot is not about the detectives, the detectives are stand-ins for the readers who are trying to solve the mystery of why the lab blew up which has everything to do with reanimated corpse cyborgs
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah so you're using the detectives as a medium with which the readers can relate to and so that they can make the same discoverys as them at the same time along with seeing if their suspicions are similar to the detectives or other wise.
"reanimated corpse cyborgs" that sounds like a 90's superhero cartoon. Well I am hoping that once done that we all get to have a read ^.^
Also I still think that it's somthing to do with Imhotep and human sacrafices etc. All characters want to be the main character, it's their secret driving force behind appearing within the story except for the main character who just wants to survive and not be killed off.
For example look at Halo who ever you control in any of the said games instantly draws un-goddly amounts of fire from the enemy it's because the enemy don't want to gain control of the Halo's it's a free for all to become the main character.

"The detective's name is Proctor, and the jr. detective, his partner, is Creon. He's just run in to tell his superior that the building down the street has blown up." Well, looks like Creon is gearing up for a mystery! I like the expressions and the design features.
