Chapter14 PG11

For those of you who don't remember, her hand it outstretched like that
in the first panel because on the last page she was tossing a leaf off
the bridge. She's not reaching out to shake his hand.
Speaking of hands, I guess I could
draw Sonia's hands more dainty, but ehhh. I had this weird commissioner
once who was strangely anal about me drawing the hands of his
super-cliche big boobed, super-skinny, women more dainty. He had me
redraw hands on several occasions. :/ His version of beauty was truly
media-influenced. In fact, one time when I was designing a character for
him I gave one of his characters a more unique nose, but he had me
change it saying it was ugly. So, I made the face exactly like his other
characters and that made him happy. The million-tuplets of whoresville,
if you ask me.
Don't worry, though. I stopped taking commissions
from this fellow. There's enough stereotyping of my gender without me
adding to it.
I think Sonia's one of the better designs I've ever come up with. She's like… somewhere between Disney's Robin Hood and a Don Bluth creation.
