Family Reunion, Part 3 of 4

[kinkthatwinked.livejournal.com]

I feel I owe apologies and explanations here. Although there’s still another page coming, this was the last one completed, after numerous rewrites, and every rewrite meant I needed to layout, draw, ink, letter, and color all over again. Simply put, my hand and eyes are tired, and there are probably numerous mistakes here.

It also means that instead of one page, you’re kind of getting one and a half. Sam’s lines are from an earlier draft, and combining them was just easier than starting the process all over again.

The sloppiness that’s unforgivable is the lettering. If I expect you guys to read this stuff, then I should at least make it legible. But Dean’s speech to Baby is in small, cramped words and bubbles because I misjudged how much space I had.



“Hey, Baby. Heh, you know, this is the perfect opening for a joke about you being topless, but … *sigh*

“I’ve never really liked drop tops; it’s like half a car. Gunmen have a clear shot at your head, monsters could just leap into the backseat and attack, the wind gets too loud to hear my tunes, and of course there’s the sunburn.

“But … I’ve missed you. So, if you’re a ragtop now, then I guess that’s what I’m driving. All that matters is I’ve got you back.

“So, I’ll make you a deal: you keep on being the most badass car on the road, and I’ll stock up on the sunblock. We’ll deal with the rest as it comes.”

N'awww, Dean is possibly the cutest guy on the planet right now, he's so in love with that car!!

Oh by the way, Dean's speech was fine, I could read it perfectly and the artwork itself is as always fantastic, especially seen as you ended up doing re-writes!

Please don't feel the need to say sorry to us, we are enjoying this, I am enjoying this monumentally and quite frankly I feel blessed to have a member of the comm willing to go to such lengths and hard work in order to join in *hugs*

Thank you for taking part, I really appreciate it :) And remember,t his place is meant to be fun hun, don't go beating yourself up about stuff when you know, we really love seeing these! ♥

I wanted to get that scene with Dean and the car perfect, so I really appreciate that praise.

You're right, I probably am being silly. I almost feel like I have to make up for not actually buying these dolls, or for having more fun with them this way, by making my contributions as perfect as possible. I also tend to beat myself up when I take on a creative project, because all I can see are all the ways I could have made it better.

You guys impress me - you take these little vinyl figurines that are stuck with one pose, one set of clothes, and one facial expression, and manage to do all sorts of inventive things with them. I couldn't do that. I'm going all out just trying to keep up with you guys. ;)

I understand hun, and I really do appreciate all the hard work that goes into being a part of the comm for you, but remember, we're gonna do the crazy things with the minis because we're ya know, crazy, lol. No need to feel you have to hurt yourself in order to join in :)

I do love it when the strips come together and they make sense or are funny, never knew I had the capacity for such silly but hey, we learn something new every day :D
