Here you go folks, a new page and a thank you for your continued readership!
Not a particularly ambitious page I’m afraid, but I’m fairly content with the standard for once. You’ve probably noticed I’m avoiding drawing the inside of the bus, which I am as it’s a bit of a nightmare – I’ve tried to do a long shot of the interior a few times now and I can never make it look right, so hey for the moment at least I’m sticking with more abstract backdrops – sorry.

@Karm2865: I’m glad I’m not alone on that – a smile you’re told to make isn’t worthwhile. Often I’m not even in a bad mood until I’m told to do this by someone.
@Ronka: I was hoping those 3 panels would prove amusing, often I can’t tell when my warped sense of humour is hitting the mark! As for the smiley – It’s cool to know people notice the little throwaway details I put in. Thanks :)
@Nicotine: I know what you mean, too often my passive expression is misinterpreted as anger and people try to set me right – something which DOES make me angry!
I'd like to take a moment to say I find your style of shading delightful. The hatching not only adds depth and light, but also texture to the clothing. It must take a while to do, but it looks great! :)
Yep had to go back and check out the not smiley face button. It just looks angrier now somehow. hehe!
I don't smile so much and I get that "cheer up" stuff.
I'll smile when I feel like it.
Cool page and don't sweat the backgrounds too much.
They're time consuming and the characters and speech bubbles usually cover them anyway.
