TOP SECRET TIPS III

You didn't ask for more tips but I know you wanted more. Here's a couple during my "theme" period. Guess which witch is which.

I rushed this one. I didn't have markers for any color so that negated the need to color even one letter. I really  wanted to draw this concept though, but had time constraints, so it came out like poop post-Mexican hot chocolate: fast and a little sloppy. Don't visualize that. Please, for your own good.

I LOVE THIS ONE. My line work was on point. I was hitting strides with my magic theme but there was one big problem: the letter I. I tilted it because it would be easier for the bunny to make it to the top with the I like that. The real problem about it is that it made the tip card a little hard to access. It looked at first glance like THPS, but once you look at it you can see it's TIPS. But you can't unsee what you've seen, ya know, one of those things.

High concept. Totally clutch. I dreamt this up. Literally. Spent...maybe 25 minutes on this? One of my favorites for certain. Worked real well with the customers.

Damn, this one is great. I worked at a place in a tourist trap near the port. All prime placement for overly priced shit but a great "quaint" place to hang [I guess]. I thought about mermaids during work sometimes so I decided to create the mermaid mascot for Seaport Village [the tourist trap]. Ran with this and loved every second of it.

Here again we see a comic using my mermaid mascot. I had this convoluted bad rhyme poem like song made for this because I felt it needed a sing-song quality to it. It feels so contrived to me, but hell if it didn't make me money. One of my coworkers asked me to sing the song, so I poured a glass of water and gargled out the words because realistically that's what singing underwater would fucking sound like to us.
