I want that mirror

He is wearing a banyan and banyan cap, 18th century mens sleepwear. A banyan is a loose robe of simple design, like a bathrobe made of very expensive material. Perhaps more like a smoking jacket, if you've seen those. The design of the cap is based on Persian clothing, you can tell by the tassels.

Now, men wouldn't wear these to bed, but something comfortable to lounge around the house in. Gentry took their sweet time getting dressed in the morning and might recieve callers in their banyan if they were feeling casual.

Wikipedia has more to say about them

Can you tell what that is on the far right? I will be very surprised if you guess.

Truth comes out in the dark

I feel like the top panel should be dominating the page more. Enlarged, with the other panels made smaller and embedded.

 In other unrelated trivia, I realized I've often been drawing their unbuttoned buttons on the wrong side. Oops.

I'm really sick (how could I catch flu this late in the season??) It's supposed to be spring. I know we had a snowstorm this week, but-

I'm going to give sleep another try.

Facetious means full of shite

You might think it odd that they weren't praying for the soul of their deceased father/grandfather. But really, 18th century English gentry were completely complacent about religion. None of this Hell and Purgatory stuff. The dead were assumed to be in God's benevolent hands. It was the living who were supposed to be in need of moral guidance. The facetious remark about God being stronger than fairies is completely out of character. Which makes you wonder...

..what else is Allan not being straightforward about?

 

Apologies

A family emergency took me to Cincinnati for a few days. Give me another day to put myself together and I will have a double update Tuesday night.

That's book abuse.

That ...could have gone better.

Butterfly, you are drunk.

Though I am currently posting Chapter 2, I have finished coloring Chapter 3 and am penning Chapter 4. This helps me pace things more consistantly and look at the overarcing story instead of the next page. Because sometimes the story you set out to write isn't the one you end up writing. Well, any story should grow in the telling. It's just that Allan is a self-absorbed attention whore and for a while believed the story was all about him.. ahem. But we're past that now!

I guess the point I was ambling toward is that Chapter 4 contains a. mild nudity and b. more cuteness than a barrel of kittens. Just wanted to say this story is not aimed at children, even if it is a fairy tale. It's for adults who like fairy tales, or older children with laid-back parents.

How bout that nose? He cut it shaving.

Waiit for it..... Culture shock in 3...2....
