Making of "The Talk" (Part 2) (Patreon)

(...Continued from Part 1)

You can see in this video that the unicorn went through several distinct looks! I kept thinking I had it and then coming back and being "Nah! It's not right!"

I tried making him majestic, but then he just looked like a mini unicorn, rather than a big headed baby. In the end I leaned on My Little Pony to get the desired effect.

I had some trouble with Fran's face in panel 3. I wanted her looking crestfallen, but not necessarily unhappy for her friend. Honestly, she still looks a bit bitchier than I meant her to, but hey-ho, she doesn't always need to be the good guy!

I wanted to do something special for Fran's final reaction face, but was coming up blank. I happened to walk by the kids watching Dragonball Z and lingered a while. It was a tournament episode (I think just before Boo shows up?) and there was a random guy in the crowd that had this uncomfortably wide mouth. I went back upstairs and drew it on Fran and laughed so much!

One Easter Egg which you might not have noticed is the baby blanket in the carrier has horseshoes on instead of the usual baby footprints!
