Branded Bumper Sticker
This is what’s called “killing two birds with one stone”.
I think I have a Fender bumper sticker that came with my Strat. I’m not a bumper sticker guy, but I suppose if my bumper gets dented (again), I could follow Rachel’s example.
By the way, the guitar’s brand, “Fuzzleo Guitars” is one I just made up. It is the the concatenation of two characters’ names (“Fuzz” and “Leo”) from a comic I did 24-hour comic book day two years ago for. I’ve been considering slapping together a sequel sometime soon, just for fun. You can read the original 24-page story here, if you are so inclined. That particular comic taught me a lot – most notably (a) a little bit of grayscale flat coloring can really add depth to a page, and (b) I was very, very bad at drawing women. So I practiced both of those things, and here we are.
Have a good weekend, everyone, and happy Labor Day to all my fellow Americans.
That’s my girl. *sniff* I am so PROUD of her! 🙂
(I forget, is the Comment section here HTML friendly?)
let me check
Yes
I was gonna say how much I love her expressions in this one. Especailly in panel one.
And I noticed how you had panel 2 go all the way across the page. Will Eisner said that the width of the panel is the length of time shown.
So it’s is a long space of time kind of panel. Perfect for showing someone thinking and coming to a conclusion. Nicely played.
Okay, you geek on guitars, I geek on comics…
I’ve never heard the length-of-time bit before. I used the panel width in this case to show surprise, in a way. The full width gives the impression that she is a tiny spec in a big world – her worldview has just changed dramatically. Not unlike putting a tiny bit of text (like “oh” or “uh oh”) in a huge word bubble with a terrified expression on the characters face. I think Watterson pulled that one with Calvin and Hobbes pretty often.
Don’t worry I like geeking out about comics too 😉
Also thanks for the compliments
hey, been reading the comic for a while now, really diggin it, i’m designing and soon to be building guitars, i mention this because you seem to have pulled a design straight from my head on this guitar she’s going to buy.
looks like an explorer with 3 per side tuners, and obviously a tremolo system, and with the level of detail you’ve previously shown, i’m guessing the no neck plate means it’s a set neck as well. i dig it, lots.
Exactly correct. Though it might be neck through with a painted body. I hadn’t decided yet. 😉
Glad you’re enjoying it. I’d love to see pics once you get started on that thing.
Now that I think about it, it’s probably a maple neck set in a mahogany body with an ocean burst flame maple veneer top. I guess we’ll see in a future page!
also, just noticed the locking nut mounts on the back of the neck, so floyd rose tremolo at that!
Right on once again, sir.
