Sloth, sloths, & Belphegor

For Comix Warriors week 60
sloth reference (I still maintain that I do not draw. I traced it roughly.)

Sweet tea, sun tea, milk tea. Tea.
Arlo, of course, is the man who is no longer allowed to cut my hair.
Since I was already running late, I tried a new trick for quick diffuse lighting. It's not naturalistic, but it'll do in a pinch.
Adaptation and conversation: two comics
Mar. 1st, 2014 04:22 pmI've only been getting online intermittently, and I neglected to copy the last couple comics either onto DeviantArt or onto Dreamwidth. It's far worse for my DrunkDuck TheDuck account, which I have abandoned.
Anyway, here are the last two Comix Warriors challenges, since that seems to be all I get published most weeks:
~
"Five Days at Memorial: D. Robichaux's testimony" (Adapting a page from a random book; posted February 19 on Tumblr)

This challenge was a departure not just from what I’ve been doing lately, but from what I do in the comic in general. It seemed like it was going to be quite hard, but now I’m glad I did it.

I literally grabbed without looking a random book that I had never read off a shelf, opened it up, and adapted the first page I opened to.
Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink; pg. 246.
The characters are real people, but I didn’t have pictures of any of them but Dr Pou, and I didn’t have a lot of time; so I just cast them with “actors” like a Hollywood production. All I knew about Diane Robichaux was that she was visibly pregnant at the time. Dr Pou is pretty close to the real Dr. Pou, I think. The prosecutor in the first panel is based on a description in the book, but probably isn’t that close.
Liberties were taken. :)
