Comic #5: Idle Animations (Patreon)

All the names you see in these early comics are guild members at the time. There was effectively a list of people I played with that were in line to be in one of the comics.

Also, notice how Tempestra's face is drawn in two different views? What incredible range. I had to move the two dots that were her eyes slightly over to the right, and re-draw her ponytail.

Also have I mentioned Comic Sans yet? It's everyone's least favorite font! At least I didn't use Papyrus. You can hate on Comic Sans all you like, but it was a good friend to me until comic #246, when I discovered other fonts exist.

CORRECTION: I realized when making the bonus panel for this comic that the font I used in the original was Tempus Sans, not Comic Sans. On further investigation, it seems like I used Tempus Sans all the way until #65, after which I used Arial for a couple comics, and then finally Comic Sans for the next several years.
