Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates twice a week
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN
TWO PAGES LEFT HHHHH
Anyway, get this: I actually don't dislike this page. Except for Alain's tiny hand in the last panel and the complete lack of backgrounds.
And yeah, rugelach looks and sounds really nice but I've never tried it. I might get around to making some myself since it's apparently not too hard. It's a Jewish pastry.
HAHA I BET ALL OF YOU WHO WANTED TO KNOW THE BAG'S CONTENTS ARE DISAPPOINTED AS HELL
We see the headmaster again here. And no, Alain hasn't been sulking away the entire party, he just happens to be standing far away at this particular moment. He's not that much of a dickhead.

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates twice a week
Alain can raise his eyebrows nearly as well as any Brit.
DOUBLE UPDATE WOOT WOOT
The computer crashed when I was nearly done inking this page the first time around so I had to redo it, but the only thing I'm pissed off about is that I'd accidentally drawn a background character looking exactly like Paul Dinello in Strangers With Candy and now I'll never be able to do that again.
Still love drawing scared Alain.
AND NOW:
OKAY EXCUSE MY FRENCH BUT: HOLY SHIT, FUCKING FINALLY. Now we can start getting into the interesting stuff!
Hahaha Alain looks like such a woman in panel one.
Also the lines are super thick but that was a complete mistake, sorry.

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates twice a week
:O
He had pastry in the bag?
You're right, I am sorta disappointed. I thought it was something else. I don't know what, just maybe something harmful.
I like panel 2 on the last page. It's kind of like a 'Any last words before I kill you?' look.
Now I want more. This thing's like chocolate, so awesome that your disappointed when it finsihed, so you have to wait nervously for more.

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates twice a week
And aw, thank you! I hope I don't disappoint!
And yeah rugelach sounds delicious and I hope I find a secular pastry in the future to buy some.
Start of a whole new chapter!
I think this is the first time we can really see Alain's impressive MANLY PHYSIQUE. He does have nice shapely legs though.
GASP WHO IS THAT MYSTERIOUS MAN IN THE LAST PANEL?
and yeah if all I had to do was draw eyes this comic would be a hundred times prettier. I'll just have to make an eye-centred comic next time then, call it Eyes and have every character be an eyeball.
It's gonna rock so hard.
Thank you! I definitely think my art works better with thicker lines, when they're thin it just looks weird and awkward.
Haha, he had fudge in his bag in the previous version of the comic, but I adjusted it to fit and to show his Jewiness. And no there are a couple of twists but Henry isn't the kind of dude to pull a piece out of his bag to start shootin' mofos :v
And aw, thank you! I hope I don't disappoint!
Gay alarms blare in my head every time I think of... anything, really ):

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates twice a week
Hee, I still love Donald so much~ "sloshed proper" is such a fantastic phrase that definitely needs to be used more.
And Alain's little nervous "I so got caught staring there, didn't I?" wave is beyond adorable.
Glassesless Alain is strange, as is seeing him wearing such casual stuff, but it's his dream (I'm assuming), so yeah. For some reason I'm thrilled by the little Lecoste croc on his polo shirt. Such attention to detail <3~
Didn't you pretty much already do that and call it Pills? X3

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates twice a week
And yeah, he'd really need the glasses in real life as his eyesight (both far and near) is horrible.
NEW
*dun dun dun*
Okay, please pretend the man in the next-to-last panel *isn't* terribly drawn, mmkay.
He has many hairs. Ha also has many muscles. I like that 'v'
BUT WHO IS HE tee hee
Also yeah this is a dream, notice how the background of the page is black, the panels are wobbly and Alain isn't wearing glasses.
I like that he could change anything about his appearance and the only thing he does is make his eyesight better.
Because yes although he does have very pretty eyes the glasses aren't there to HIDE HIS GIRLY EYES FORM THE WORLD cause that'd be very dumb. He's nearly blind.
I really like making up dialogue for Donald, he's such an ass. But on purpose.
Haha, thank you. Everything he does around Henry will be awkward as hell for the forseeable future.
He's totally the kind of preppy guy who wears Lacoste during the summer, regardless of whether he's going to play tennis or not. I used to have a Lacoste polo but it's too tiny now ;~;
And yeah, he'd really need the glasses in real life as his eyesight (both far and near) is horrible.
Well, any excuse to draw pretty eyes for five pages <3
Tee hee, thank you muchly!

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates twice a week
I really like the second panel, with Alain's wide eye and fuzzy eyebrow and I'm not sure why. And Bench-Man (which should be his superhero name, by the way) really reminds me of someone, but I really can't think who, and it's driving me nuts.
Lookin' forward to more :)

WOMG it's IVAN!
...um, um, um! Something else changed in the dream! 'cause, uh, Alain doesn't have his hair covering his ears any more! And, uh, you did say that there was a reason for his hairstyle...
*headdesks* yeah, sorry. I'm in this bizzare mood where I have to notice everything and then question the hell out of it. 'why this, why that'... BLARG.

You probably know who Benchman is since I post him a lot. it's ivan!!
And no, feel free to discuss any element of the comic in this thread, I'd love to see different points of view or speculation about what's going to happen!
Anyway, I'm on a roll:
Tryin' something new with the grey. It's supposed to make the characters stand out AND occupy the background.
And again I display my total inability at kissing. Which sucks because I think little kissies like the ones they're supposed to be giving each other are totally adorable in real life ):
Still failing at drawing Benchman. ughhh
I quite like Alain's eyebrows myself. If they were a bit thicker it'd be like he had two big furry caterpillars on his face <3

Haha, talk about embarassing. I totally missed his lack of ear-covering hair :v He'll change his hairstyle soon enough.

UPDATE
BACK TO REALITY
Okay, so since this is one month later, Alain's hair has obviously grown a little (we'll change that in a jiffy) and since he's just woken up he's got a bit of a stubble. Let me tell you: stubble is the most tedious thing to draw in the world. The combination of these things results in 'lol hey it's aragorn'
He looks fatter/larger than he actually is because he's wearing big pyjamas. He and I are probably the only people above the age of ten who still wear actual pyjamas to bed :v
If it wasn't immediately obvious, he's frustrated at the end of the page because he sees he's got a bit of the old morning glory as a result of the dream.
Oh and the photograph he has up on his wall is one I have on mine, this-> http://multimedia.fnac.com/multimedia/images_produits/ZoomPE/1/6/8/3700425602861.jpg . Serge Gainsbourg <3 He's important to the story, kids.
Drew this whole page listening to the new Pet Shop Boys album (which owns) and The Smith's William, It Was Really Nothing.
ps: 'jeeves and wooster' is the only thing worth reading on this gay earth.
Eyeballs are the only thing I draw well ;^;

Re: The Five Stages of Love - usually updates twice a week (if we're lucky)
In the last page of the dream, I really, really love Alain's smile, with the crinkly eyes. We always see him confused/surprised/aloof, so it's so nice to see him happy, even if it is in a dream.
And the stubble is really well-drawn (I tried drawing it in various pictures of House and it is freakishly difficult, so I feel your pain), and the folds and creases on the pyjamas and bedspread are cool. His arms look a little short in the second panel, but it could just be me.
Also, the third-to-last panel is heartbreaking ;;

Re: The Five Stages of Love - usually updates twice a week (if we're lucky)
My stubble looks good? Thank God, it was terribly boring to draw so it's nice to know it wasn't a wasted effort. I'd have felt weird drawing him waking up with no stubble though ):
We'll see some more happy!Alain scenes in the near future, actually. And a Donald comeback which I think you'll all like because Donald's the most popular character apparently :v
PAGE
Can't wait to cut his and Roland's hair.
And yeah, Alain has a very boring garderobe. He wears very similar things every day. Also on this page we get a slightly better look at how scrawny and skinny Alain actually is.
Tricolore mug <3
Can't wait to get to the non-boring bit of this chapter (in about nine or so pages? That's when we have some nice character development).
