Given that she's obviously not a normal human, I'd say she's three.

Kit is a very cute "old enough to drink"

I'm not sure why sometimes I use " goin' " and not "gonna" .. I think "gonna" is like a combination of "going" and "to" and so is generally only used whenever you'd say you were 'going to do something'. Like "I am gonna kill you". You don't say "I am gonna outside" you say "I am goin' outside."

You could say however "I am gonna go outside" because that is standing for "I am going to go outside."

However " goin' " can be used in any case. "I am goin' to kill you" "I am goin' outside"

I figure " goin' " works better when the speech is more deliberate, but still meant to have the illusion of a southern accent. Like in the case of Page 004. Kit says "I am goin' outside t' get some air." It doesn't have the same feel if she says "I'm goin' outside t' get some air." or "I'm going outside to get some air". The former doesn't sound angry enough when you read it out loud, and the latter doesn't sound 'southern' enough.

I live around, and have, somewhat of a Southern accent. In fact Kit's dialect is a hammed up version of how people talk where I live :P I've lived here forever so I think I got an okay handle on it. I think if "The Dreadful" was set a real place, Kit would be from somewhere around Kentucky or Southern Illinois (which is where I live).

Looking forward to more.

Congratulations, four pages in and your comic is already smut. Smuuuuuuuut!

Kidding. I'm actually quite enjoying it so far.

I try to avoid fan-service type stuff, though sometimes little occasions pop up where I can't resist (I really like drawing pretty girls :P ). I plan on having characters wear what someone would wear in the situation. Kit isn't going to run around in a bikini, or wear a shirt that shows a lot of belly, but tight jeans are a staple of any cute cowgirl or cowboy (when it comes to fan-service I'm equal-opportunity).

Is the page working for everyone now? It is finally showing up for me.

By the way, what color is Kit? Deep red like Hellboy, some shade of pink, Caucasian, or something else?

MSperoni · 03-04-2011, 01:20 PM

The color of her skin doesn't matter, maaaaaaaaaan *peace sign*

Though, I have it in my head she's kind of a pale peach/pinkish color

*goes to look for an example*

Also, might I add, getting that tail into pants without ripping them/having the hole positioned properly must be pretty hard/hurt like hell.. It must suck to have those pants shot up.

Flarecobra · 03-04-2011, 01:29 PM

Snaps in the back over the tail maybe?

MSperoni · 03-04-2011, 01:30 PM

I go the Son Goku route in regards to her tail and her horns sticking out via holes made in her clothing. Which is: it's best if I don't think about it too deeply and just draw it that way

I assume that's for the better, because if you try and think about it, due to the local area of the tail, you basically just end up staring at her ass thinking about it(the tail, had to clarify).

Also, don't they show show/mention the tail thing in dragonball/z at some point? I can't quite recall, but I have a lurking feeling that they do(probably as a gag). Not that you have to though :P.

*edit* also, might I add that picture of "muttonchops" is just hilarious(and fitting).
