Picking up the pace a bit here a bit. 

This is one of the ideas I had from day one. That Gwen would learn that cosplayers do a lot more than stand around and look pretty. So wanted to highlight her discovering what she is good at. 

This was something I was considering waiting until she gets home to Ohio for her to find out. But that is very very very long away. So I thought it would be an idea we introduce here. 

I'm going to be bringing some of the long term ideas into the story a little quicker. Keep the pace up. Keep you all on your toes. 

Thanks again for your patience this month. I don't know why it's been so hard to get stuff done. It might be that I work and sketch at the same desk all day long now. I need to get out of the house. Don't we all.

Sewing isn't easy, you got to be good with your hands.

Mr. Domino

I still feel pretty sad for her. I'd much rather be able to draw and be creative in that way than make costumes.

Lisa Thomas

Its more than just sewing, You have to be creative with designs, color coordination and such. Gwen could have a pretty good business just creating and selling costumes. She also might be tailor as a full time job.

roseleaf

Exactly. She has a lot to discover.

roseleaf

Yeah, it's not my strong suit. But I respect it.

roseleaf

Never know what her future holds.

Martin Lock

I think in panel 3 it would be tutorials in the plural; in 4, "prgeess" might well look better as "progress" - and in 5 "the story of making" seems a little abrupt, maybe "the story of making that costume"? Heheh, the question of why so many people follow her may well be answered by the number of sexy photos Gwen has apparently posted...

Pop26

I would love to wear a cosplay that I made myself.

Alex Smyth

I feel the same. I just feel so sad for Ken/Gwen. It feels like her life is being ripped away from her and she's being forced physically and mentally into this life she didn't want.

Alex Smyth

I'm glad that Ken/Gwen has realized that there's more to cosplaying than being creepily ogled by 90% of your "fans" and that cosplay is also a form of artistic/creative expression. That being said, I'm still upset that Ken/Gwen has lost the form of artistic expression she chose to pursue in her life. Because either: 1) Ken/Gwen has made herself so bad at drawing, that she no longer has a natural talent for drawing and no matter how hard she tries, she'll never be able to learn how to draw again. or 2) Considering it took 20 something years (assuming Ken was in his twenties before this started) to learn how to draw and perfect her drawing style, it'll probably take another 20 something years to get her drawing skills back to that level. And that's assuming that Ken/Gwen doesn't get frustrated and discouraged and just give up on trying to draw again. I just feel so sad for Ken/Gwen. :(

I did realize while making this page that in order for her to design her outfits, she would need *some* ability to draw. So it's likely she's not entirely useless in that category.

Mr. Domino

Well don't get me wrong, I LOVE darker routes and having characters suffer and the negative consequences of being transformed. I've written plenty of stories (I actually am doing a comic with Cluedog/Smooch right now that is like that) but for some reason what it happening to Gwen just makes me feel really sad for her. Maybe it's just because I can't draw but would love to have that ability, maybe it's the fact that she's having her creativity ripped away from her and changed into...well, next to nothing, I just really don't like it.

Alex Smyth

I agree. I feel so bad about her having her creativity ripped away from her and changed into something else she didn't actually choose to have. It would be one thing if Ken/Gwen wanted to stop drawing and instead be an cosplayer, but she didn't choose that. It was a mistake she made the day before and now she's stuck with that and that makes me feel so sad for her. I think about if I was in Ken's/Gwen's position. I myself want to be a writer and have been slowly working on that. So I imagine what it would be like if any writing skills I had were to be taken away and was replaced with something I didn't want or was interested in pursuing. I too just really don't like it.

Alex Smyth

Oh yeah. That's true. I didn't think of that. I mean, I kind of recall that being a thing, but I don't think about designing and sewing outfits much. So I wasn't making that connection. I guess we both realized something with this page. But doesn't that mean that needing some drawing skills to design outfits for cosplaying contradicts with Ken/Gwen saying that she can't draw? Wouldn't Ken/Gwen saying "she can't draw" mean that she shouldn't be able to draw, even for designing outfits to make, and possibly need somebody else to draw a design for Ken/Gwen to make? Her girlfriend is also a cosplayer, so maybe she could be the person who could draw the design for Ken/Gwen. or If Ken/Gwen does have some drawing skills, at least enough needed for designing outfits for cosplaying, shouldn't Ken/Gwen have been able to draw more than just a crappy stick figure for that guy asking for a commission back on page 9 of this issue?

roseleaf

Yeah, she still wants to be more than a pretty face. :)

Martin Lock

As do we all. ;) Oops, I missed in panel 5 that "an other" should be "another"...
