SPQR Blues part LXXI

[spqrblues]

Hmm... all that hair looked a little bit different in my head... then in the pencils... :)





Update: dr_phil_physics suggested I try colouring the big panel. I managed to get about halfway through during lunch, but now I guess I should get back to work-work. Now that I look at it in colour, I see I still have to work on those proportions...


I'll update the colour image if I find time to get back to it in between working on crazy end-of-year deadlines :)

It's all a learning process :P

Re: Is Nonius Balbus' wife treating herself to being pronuba? :)

Thanks very much :)

And, yes, that's what the lady is up to. Well, someone has to do it, and there's nothing going on at the theatre today.... This is the most interesting gossip/soap opera in town, and she can get a big role in it while Hubby is entertaining elsewhere or busy with some sort of virile activities.

Of course, since Roman women paid a lot for a wig of genuine red-gold hair (Iusta's really glows a whole lot more on the work monitor than on the laptop at home :) ), and slathered all sorts of bleaching concoctions on their heads... hey, maybe Nonius Balbus' wife has secretly sharpened that spearhead and is planning to accidentally shear off enough for a curly headpiece XD

No - don't let her cut it off! I love how you draw hair. I makes me want to grow mine out. I can't wait to see what goes on at this wedding.

I promise lots of hair, lots of guests, and lots of wedding craziness before the end of the year :)
