640 Upgrades.

The weather is really upsetting my groove. It’s been lightning storms in the evening for a few days now. Having to wait out the storms cocks everything up. I like to work on comics in long uninterrupted stretches. My PC is on a pretty good backup battery because even when the weather is normal the power grid out here is ultra shitty. Random surges will destroy anything delicate if you don’t put a good protector between it and the wall. I lost a few things to the demon of the grid before I was clued in to its brutal nature.

I decided to switch from Netflixing classic Doctor Who episodes to random anime I haven’t seen. The first thing I got was Urusei Yatsura movie 4: Lum The Forever. After watching it I’m still not sure what the hell was going on. I’ve read some of the comics, and seen some of the TV anime and one other movie, and they made sense, but this one… didn’t quite do that. The descriptions said as much, but I was unprepared for just how little held the “plot” together. At any rate it was neat to look at, even if it was little more that a Japanese acid trip.

I may watch it one more time just to see if the crazy was all on their end or if I was just too tired when I watched it.

Anyway, those of you familiar with Urusei Yatsura will likely notice design elements lifted from that series even in this very page. As I’ve said before, Rumiko Takahashi’s work was an influence on me for a long time.

She was just as embarassed when she realized the situation as he was, i dont get why shes trying to make him the bad guy

I think it’s just that she’s embarrassed, and she’s deflecting her embarrassment and shock at being seen in such a revealing act and channeling it back to him. Also, it could be that she sees it as him being somewhat prudish, or holding her to a different standard (he’s walking around in his undies too)

I’m a bit confused. Wouldn’t you call them “them” instead of “it”? o.o
>> II haven’t seen them in years.
>> You’ve had upgrades sine I saw them last!
It sounds weird with “it”

You are probably the only person that has ever drawn long hair accurately when a character is in the process of putting on a shirt. Pro.

I notice these things. Nice work.

I kind of did it without putting a lot of thought int to it. XD Her hair is so long it wouldn’t just flop itself out. She’d have to fix it herself.

Am I the only one who thinks she’s rather…disturbed of a person to wander around mostly-naked knowingly in a house that she shares with her brother?

I mean yeah, family & all…and twins share a bond…but still, that’s just not right.

I was suspect earlier in comic, but now it’s even more. I think something might have happened a long time ago. Maybe. Or maybe I’ve reread Jay Naylor’s Better Days one too many times. Or maybe I’m just perverted like that.

Maybe.

oh one more thing, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA at the term upgrades, like she was wheeled into a auto garage and given an overhaul like this was GTA LOL funnuh!
