#121--Bonus Comic!

Aug. 25th, 2008 at 12:25 AM

And so now we know what happened to that sad Wolverine statue! I'd originally planned to do this one way back during the "Minty Gets a Drum Kit" story arc, but I was having a hard time putting all the props together, and I got distracted by the current Breezie story line. Those drums were a pain, and it was one of those times when I really envied pen-and-ink artists.

eeee! I didn't realise we were getting an exta comic today!

I love your attention to detail, at first I didn't notice that Wolverine nad a bird on his shoulder, and then in the next frame its flying off... that is fantastic!

Thanks! It took soooo long to do this one, between the new Minty, the backyard set-up, and fixing the drums.

Eep! I hope more people remember the bonus comic is today. I posted announcements everywhere!

I, too, love Wolvie the Garden Gnome! How did you do the bird, anyway?

I found pictures of plastic crows (so they'd match everything else) and dropped them in. ^_^

Custom drums! How adorable XD and more little fuzzy creatures...that Kimono is using as ear-plugs! The little details are brilliant in this one :D

Ooh, did you make the drums yourself? They're very nice-looking! :)

Thanks! I didn't quite make them. They're Animal's drums from the Muppets series by Palisades. They were busted up, so I had to piece them back together, separate them from the base, and then customize them with the mint swirls.

OH my stars, the details! So fantastic. Love the backyard. What a great looking garden. And that bird! How cool. :D

*chuckles* Poor Kimono. At least she found something to stick in her ears. Hope it helps to deaden the noise a little for her. Aww, even Spackles looks less then amused. Those drums are incredible! Really love how they have the peppermint swirls. That is fantastic! :D The cowboy hat totally suits Minty too.

Thanks! :D I'm glad all that work paid off. And I love that cowboy hat! The Minty on my computer desk has been wearing it for a couple months. ^_^

Hahahaa! The sad fate of Wolvie is revealed. XD The swirls on the drum set look fantastic, and that pose works perfectly for Drummer Minty.

Poor Kimono, left cleaning up the craft table. Time for a new house rule about proper pompom storage, perhaps (although at least the tiny ones work as earplugs, LOL). ^_^

Poor Wolvie. He even fails at keeping crows out of the tomatoes. XD

Kimono feels my housekeeping pain. I always have to pick up socks. They end up everywhere! Even soaking wet on the bathroom floor. o_O

one thing I love about KT is that you never forget about props/past events. The glue gun is still used, Minty still has her drum kit, and Wolverine is still around. If one of those items were to removed from the storyline, you'd make it into a comic and wouldn't just take it away.
