The first comic Previous comic Comic for Thursday, June 28, 2007: Next comic Today's comic

I’m still doing behind the scenes stuff for EGS and Thursday is just about the worst day for me to update right now out of the three days, so here are four more pages out of my sketchbook. These are only partially EGS, if you want to get technical, as Amanda and her co-workers exist both within EGS and on their own. It really depends on what style they’re drawn in whether they’re in "EGS mode".

Amanda’s haircut predates both EGS and my run through High School. The poor woman is due for an upgrade, even if it is just adding bangs.

The never-before-seen girl is tentatively named "Yuri". She is a rival scientist working within the same company whose design I‘m still working on. While both of them are pretty much equals in intelligence, Yuri is more organized, less clumsy, and a lot more independent. Amanda’s advantages would be a more active imagination and Lisa’s support. Lisa counts for a lot, for even though she’s no scientist, she be a crafty lass.

As for all that text, if a simple calculation can be applied to something, I can have lots of fun with it. Messing around with how big the characters are can be fun simply by virtue of figuring out how large or small everything would become relative to them. I think it would be a lot of fun to take a character, adjust their size (either in a subtle or extreme way), and just draw them in a proportionately accurate environment. Keeping things in proportion is challenging enough when they’re normal size; imagine doing so when the character is shorter than the TV ^_^
