Sir, Butler and Boy ~ For Starters ~ Page 16
I’ll be at Minamicon this weekend, doing two panels, holding a stall and doing the traditional skit! Minami was my first ever convention so it always has a soft spot in my heart.
As for the page… I want to say something about poise and elegance, but all I can hear in my head is a very dorset accent screaming “LOOKIT HIS ARSE”.
Specific mannerisms is a great phrase, inspired by this beautiful list of code words used in classic movies to indicate a queer character:
Look out for some of these, they’ll be appearing in later comics too!
I must say I’m entranced by Jefferson’s feet here and how he holds himself. It looks so smooth and amazing! O:
He’s had a lot of practice :D
This page is so fantastic. The last 2 panels are so great. The shading on the left arm, the shine on the pants…
The art almost distracted me from naughtiness! And then it complemented it.
I hope it helps you feel like James- looking on in facination at what’s unfolding in front of him :D
It’s certainly worked that way for me.
Yep! Mission accomplished!
:L
This page makes me long for someone I can command to kneel for me.
Loki syndrome? :D
Nah. Just one person would satisfy me. LOL
The shading on his trousers makes me want to lick them. Which is to say it’s perfect.
i love when i can really clearly see the way characters move and their body language even though comics are static! *shivers* excellent job, Tab sensei!
Thank you! I’m trying to show how he would be very precise and reserved- even during something very unreserved!
You have succeeded, I’d say. It is quite clear that they carry themselves differently from one another
Jefferson is so skillfully drawn here, that I am speechless. Pose, anatomy, shading… Beautiful. I could add that the shine on his trousers make them look more like leather – which I’m guessing they’re not – but looking this good on him, who cares.
I’m not really into the whole leather thing- but give me a smoky tweed any day!
Oh yes, I agree. :3
this is certainly a work of art. i’d buy the last two panels as one poster of just jefferson kneeling. i’ve clearly been reading too many spy/horror comics because it looks like boy (i forgot his name) is about to pull a gun out of his sleeve. Also you aren’t the only one hearing “LOOKIT HIS ARSE!” but i’m getting it in more of a scouser accent
I’ve been considering offering a3 prints of the pages on the card they’re drawn on- would that be of interest or would specific designs be better?
Please say ‘sleeps diagonally’ is going to be used, that’s my favorite one x3
Haha I’ll try to think of a way to include it somehow
Eee, thank you! o3o
I’m really looking forward to the next page. I want to see how this ends!
This page is gorgeous :D! And that Jefferson is quite a fine man!
So he’s basically saying “look at him. such a gay gay. Look at his gayness.” and making it sound poetic and smooth. A+
Haha!
Modern translation: phwoar isn’t he fit. Such a gayer. I think he’s fit because he’s a gayer at me.
*is a confused american who had to use urban dictionary to learn the term “phwoar”*
*is a confused Brazilian who thought ‘phwoar’ was just an onomatopoeia or something and decided to google it too after reading your comment*
This comic is even taking over my dreams. LOL
What did you dream?
I was in the role of John, giving commands to Jefferson and James. Some of this, oddly, involved going out to a local store and sort of showing off my influence over them.
It was an odd, but pleasant, dream.
Rereading and this is still one of my favorite pages.
I’m from Dorset, and can confirm; that was definitely my reaction.
Currently re-reading everything, thanks for posting <3
