Notes: First line art charity commission from [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti, for [livejournal.com profile] gallo_de_pelea aka [livejournal.com profile] bigbigtruck.

Only [livejournal.com profile] gallo_de_pelea has the complete hi-res, but here's a detail of their faces:









Notes: Lots of fun, lots of woe. I've had such crazy shit going on, it just took me forever to get to my [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti stuff. But I think in the end it didn't turn out too bad.

Music seems like such a big part of the comic, so I wanted to do something that involved music. I really loved [livejournal.com profile] gallo_de_pelea's sketches of TJ and Amal just relaxing together, so this is definitely inspired by those more than a little. The title is from a book I really loved: Just Listen by Sarah Dessen.

Technical/Artistic notes, ehh... I've had trouble getting TJ on model both times I've attempted him. Hope he turned out okay here. I do like how their expressions came out. I of course had to do something that involved weird perspective; I do not know what possesses me to leap out of my comfort zone like that but I guess it's a... good? thing? Anyway, perspective = trouble for sure. I'm not sure if it's hard to tell or what, but Amal's sitting up more straight-like and TJ's definitely slouching.

Well! I had fun, and I'm pretty proud of this, honestly =)
