Commentary

EDIT: There is now a large version of this on the EGS Tumblr

Susan - "Ashley, I know you're new, but you need to be careful about what you say in sketchbook comics."

Ashley - "You kidding? I'm going to say all sorts of things in sketchbooks after this!"

I was asking around for people to name one character and one transformation with the hope of being inspired to do a quick, maybe three-step morph of a character. Then I wound up thinking of this. Then I figured it better be four steps to fit in comic format better. Then it took a long time to make.

I BLAME EVERYONE BUT MYSELF. Okay, I'm the only one to blame. Nobody suggested exactly this. Some similar things were suggested, but still.

I wound up making this sketchbook proportioned like a normal story comic, but 108 pixels wider. Things were so zoomed out, I just wanted it better, and 728 pixels across is the widest I can format sketchbooks given the current layout, so BAM. Maximum width Sketchbook. Yay!

I didn't make them swap color palettes at all as I thought the result would be more interesting, and I was right! Granted, that's 100% subjective, but whatever. I like it. Will likely do similar at times in future.
