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

Ahh, yes, the spearblade comb. ::shudders:: Wonder if that edge has been sharpened.

Yikes! Also gorgeous. :) That implement scares me, but then there are all those wonderfully illustrated hairstyles.

*explodes over hair* I love to draw hairstyles, and thus also watching well-drawn hair! I could actually do some of the hairstyles just based on your drawings! Lovely!

...and I'm waiting in superstitious awe what kind of creation Iusta will have on her head at the end of this...

I only just figured out that you hand-letter. Now I am doubly impressed (because my hand-lettering stinks).

...I'm not sure what Cataloria Themis is trying to do, there... Or did she want Mrs Nonius Balbus to stop the wedding, and it backfired ?

The big panel is to absolutely to die for.

The details make me sqweee!

More! More! More! ^_^

The color version is everything I hoped it would be. Mus' sister is really cute, too. (grin)

awesome stuff! The color is really great work, too!

that's beautiful and striking, and I really am curious about the motivations here. :D

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

sooo pretty drawing :)

SPQR Blues really stands out because it has 'just plain' people, too
(although golden blonde Iusta isn't by either Roman nor our standards. :)

I'm guessing Nonius Balbus' wife was bored (plus her husband is alive and she is probably married the first time, see the decent girl remark, so is eligible as pronuba), what better way to pass the time than being right in the middle of the wedding of the year? :)
Also, the sour expression of Calatoria Themis whenever N.B.wife isn't looking at her is grandiose :)
