Fox & Mirror Moment

Even though my comic-in-progress has been put on hiatus due to other work getting in the way, my brain won't let it go! So I just quickly jotted down a ridiculously angsty scene where Mr. Fox is killed by a bear trap and the Faerie Queen  appears behind her offering to help for a favor.
I wish I could take a comics class and learn more about onomatopoeia, pacing, and paneling because I do feel a little like some parts are off but I don't know how to refine it. I definitely will change some parts of this scene, like the squish panel in which I think I'll hide her face. Also, the panel after that, crack, I'll change the sound to maybe a more metallic crick. Her last comment "I'm alone again," sounds really stiff and fairly unnatural so there's more work to do! I can't wait to get back to work on it in the summer :)

Google Maps Musings

Is it weird for me to feel as if I traveled after closely combing though the Scottish East Coast on Google Maps? I found two separate castles and some scary cliffs, and the landscapes were full of green, rolling hills. Google Maps is pretty much the closest equivalent to visiting a place, right? Last month I ventured into Tokyo and I already felt like comitting sepukku. That city is cramped and feels endless with all it's concrete apartments and without many trees in sight.
Well, after an hour of "traveling" through Scotland I'm suffering jetlag! 
Just kidding, yeah.
