This is my hallows end special…damn shoes…sucked the life out of me..drawing…. sleep now

EDIT: Now that I have slept, I can write a somewhat proper blog post.

I had a quick vision of the crew’s Hallow’s End costumes, Xandaria as a pirate and Solstia…well she vowed to kill me if I didn’t make her a cat…. both were easy enough…

I also thought of drawing Aza as the Wicked Witch of the East as a quick, harmless reference. WRONG… those shoes haunted my nightmares, It took me half a day…I just could not grasp the dimensions of a woman’s shoe…

Funny thing is as challenging as it was, I did not give up, in fact I have this insane obsession with getting something right when I can’t draw it…what I didn’t expect is how the comic’s joke had changed from the beginning to end of that comic…

Every time I’d fail at drawing the shoes, I’d go back and touch something else up without thinking about it. Originally, Aza had a worried…ish… face, by the end it was downright angry. The original plan was her banging at Deathwing’s door annoyingly saying “she would not go home until he gave her candy” with a “what’s the worst that can happen” mentality,

…but by the end of the drawing, Aza looked downright pissed and I was like “yeah, I’d be that pissed if I had to deal with those shoes all night… oh wait I did”
