“How Mirka Got Her Sword,” Page 33
A couple of art notes:
This was the first page of “Hereville” I drew entirely on computer. The previous pages all had linework drawn with ink on paper, and then scanned in to the computer for coloring.
I try and do most of my figure drawing without photo reference, but for some poses it’s really needed. Many thanks to my friends Jenn Lee and Dylan Meconis – both of whom do great webcomics of their own, by the way, so check those links out — for their willingness to pose for this sequence. And doesn’t it look like Jenn is having far too much fun twisting Dylan’s arm?

Mirka puts up a good fight :P Poor, poor Zindel! It looks like she’s had plenty of practice with the arm-twisting trick.

Haha, I’m sure the practice was on him too… big sisters ‘protect’ in mysterious ways.

Wow, drawn entirely on computer? Amazing!

As you say, it’s our duty to protect our younger brothers. If that means teaching them a lesson when they cross a line, why, that’s protection too, right? From themselves.
