"A Game of Cricket"
Anyone know the icon for puking rainbows? I'd like to put it here! That is all.
Update 11/8/11
I took PrivetDan's advice and did a change with the distracting lighting effect I made. I toned it down and moved it off of his face.

Great stuff as usually. I actual got to relook at animation first to find some more differences, but, but from what I remember... Chrip is having a lot more
facetime than before.
Is that because of all the comments from you last page,..or you want more chracter development from him?,her?

C-C getting a little more, yeah. It's just how it worked out. I wanted Milo's mother to come in sooner to move things along, so I skipped past the look that C-C and Milo gave each other before that happened in the animated version. I also wanted something to wrap up the bedroom scene before moving on to the breakfast table (yes, I'm skipping the kitchen scene with Copper and Milo). In film you can use transitions like cross-fades, but not so much in still form, so instead of him just getting out of bed and leaving frame, I decided to do something a little more fun and cute.

Hahaha, has anyone ever told you that the eyes you give the characters adds to the charm? xD I've always thought that was a nice touch. A reverse of the white eyes/black pupil common-ness.

You know I don't think so. I was trying something different when I did this. I wanted them to have muskrat eyes being all black, but I still wanted a pupil for eye direction, so I made the light reflection act as the pupil.

And being different made it great. 
And that grasshopper too. xD Hehe, anime-face.

I usually don't go in that direction, but that closed eye look reads very well for a happy expression and decided to use it.

Heh, heh... the cricket is cute!
Curiously, do they wear anything to bed? Undershorts or anything...?

Sometimes. Like any individual it depends on the person and occasion. Milo wears underpants.

I've been debating having him in the next coming pages at the breakfast table. Should I?

would be a nice transition. I'd be interested in what he has for breakfast

Know of anyone who could? I know I'd butcher the attempt.

Yup. Chirp is my favorite character along with that mink from the prologue. :3

I think that means I'm making good supporting characters!

Nice comic, but could I suggest/critique on something?
I thought the light from the window was some fog or smoke (when viewed in the thumbnail image)... That must be one reason why the first commenter said he looks high... or maybe it's just Milo's expression. Anyways... The window light hitting Milo and the area behind him should be... of different form (I dunno the right term!), depending on the distance. If it's nearer from the window, the shadow would be less blurry and the light is brighter (but not brighter than the light source!), if it's farther from the window, the shadow is blurry, and the light is slightly dimmer.
I can't really explain this clearly, just look for lighting tutorials here.

I noticed that the light was a bit distracting at that angle, especially on the thumbnail. He is across the room from the light source as you can see where the window is in a few panels. I wan't trying to make a perfect lighting cast from it, I was just trying to add a window light effect, similar to the one that my editor used in the animated version, but I do agree it is too bright and distracting. I may tone it down a little bit in an update this week. As for the high remark, I think it's just because of the sleepy expression he had in panel 4. Thanks!

Yeah, it was just the expression

Nice, (no offense!) But in panel four it looks like he's high.

No, that's LATER in the story.

I don't know whether to LOL to that or not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure you can!
Anyhow when they are in town there is a bar scene and I guess you can say that. He's gonna have probably similar expressions, and probably even goofier.

I just meant he looks like, I know he's just sleepy. And we love this drawing all the more for that cuteness
