      @xin-li Interesting! Would you like to see more of a difference in size between the two? Like a smaller Penny and a larger frankenpooch?

            @Braden-Hallett yeah. Maybe smaller penny and a larger pooch will just do. I feel like this is a very dynamic scene, and I love the concept. But the choice of composition is a bit static: 2 equally sized characters, each ocuppy approximately half of the page. Hope this make sense.

              @xin-li Absolutely makes sense 😃 I'll fiddle about with scale before inking. Thanks! I like the storytelling idea that the neighbour kid was not just a jerk, but older, too. Or maybe it's her older brother, lol 🙂

                    @Nyrryl-Cadiz According to Penny 'any and all bodies, human or otherwise, become property of the owner of the domicile in which said body currently resides at time of death'.

                    Billy DID come over to play, recently...

                          @Coley I'm glad it's not too subtle, lol 🙂

                          @Nyrryl-Cadiz It's all okay because Penny's got her pupper back 🙂

                          And Billy was a total jerk!

                            Reinked Penny and the Pupper.

                            Added the BG trees. Gave some value to the fence.

                            Gonna fiddle with some clouds in the sky mebbe.

                              @Braden-Hallett Great piece. You really nailed it again. Wow. Very interesting take on the topic. It took the third read to discover Billy's head by the grave. I first thought it was just dirt, or grass or something. Was it intensional?

                                @xin-li Thanks! And no, third read is definitely not intentional (maybe second read?) My plan is to reinforce the contours a little bit on the grave and shovel then maybe give Billy a baseball cap 🙂

                                  @Braden-Hallett Maybe making Billy a red head in an earthy graveyard would help him pop.

                                    @jakecrowe Sadly the entry must be black and white 🙂

                                    If haveing a hat doesn't work, I may just remove the head all together and just have the shovel and the machete do the talking.

                                      @Braden-Hallett Keep the head. I got it on the first horrified read. I am scared of Penny now. Very scared.

                                          Work progresses! I may try some other options for the clouds and grey stormy sky 🙂

                                            @Braden-Hallett Love this 😃 Love the emotion in the piece. Your inking is way out there!

                                            I prefer the blank sky tho (in the inking phase). But that's just me 🙂

                                            Looking forward to the result.
