The Trials of Triple A





Since my previous concept for my Character Design Final tanked, which was just as well since it wasn't my first idea anyway, my Editor in Chief of the Connector was really taken by it and she had been really on my case to start submitting a strip again regularly.



I was watching History of the Joke on History Channel and one comedian explained that he found his material by making fun of his life. So I thought about it and thought about it and what better way of the true story in my own life of the constant running gag of how it seemed my straight friends were magnets for gay waiters. XD Also more of a play with black and white shapes, forground, middleground, and background, as well as what I've been learning in character design all rolled into one. There's a couple tangents here and there that aren't going to kill me but I just know to be more mindful of them in the future. Also Memo To Me: Don't hand ink elipses. Just DON'T. I think I'm going to experiment with Chibi Ahimsa's hair more because I'm unsure if I like that halo around the sections of it. I mean it's done with a purpose but I can hear Shawn screaming in my head of 'AUGH. HALO HALO HALO. YOU FAIL.' D:



Enjoy and look forward to more. :3
