… no. 7, “Compass”

October 5, 2008

After a summer hiatus, I returned to Rare Lenience with this classic of the Personified Inanimate Objects genre. This was my second watercolor, and I am really proud of the art on this one.

I wrote the dialogue after pulling an all-nighter. After inking the speech bubbles, I freaked out about how poorly written it was for about an hour, but after looking at it again the next day after some rest I realized it was fine. The colours didn't really come out well in the scan, unfortunately.
