6 year old Charity needs a hug. Adult Charity could probably use one too.

(From my notes: “Things Art School Doesn’t Teach You, No. 54,972: How to work a flashback showing the childhood traumas of a half-tiger half-cheetah woman wearing the roller derby uniform of her wolf employee into a wrestling match with a lesbian leopard seal.
What the hell am I writing??? XD”)
When it came time to go to press, I decided that the “tabloid” cover I’d originally designed for issue three just wasn’t engaging enough, so this is the new version, thanks to a suggestion from long-time Suburban Jungle influencer, HantaMouse. The tabloid design will go on the back cover, instead.

Charity Expressions WIP by the-gneech on deviantART
I love this exercise, but it takes forever. If interested, you can find the template here: 25 Essential Expressions
I am still not quite happy with the designs for either Charity or Langley. I was hoping that it would smooth out as the story progressed, but if anything it’s getting worse instead of better, so I’m trying to work it out and “get it right” before going on with another issue.
Charity should be young, almost baby-faced, bright eyed, eager, and cheerful. Think Sailor Moon with spots. So, eyes bigger, muzzle smaller, lots of big expressions are the mode for her.
Suggestions? Comments? I’m all ears!
