Indroductions over.

I've almost finished Titania and Oberon's spat. (That sounds odd.) Personally I think Oberon is being a right dick. (But I like him.)

I had fun designing his costume ... it was the first one I kicked off with. I toned it down a bit in the end because he originally looked far too fetishy ... GESTAPO BOY! ... uh ... now he looks far more reserved.

I didn't want any of the fairies/elves to look terrifically nice. Fairies are quite nasty things, in traditional English folklore, anyway. Bloody Victorians made 'em all pansy and pretty. (I think? Somebody told me that anyway.)

If I'd had more time I'd have loved to have done every single fairy up in a kind of feral style. As it is they had to be quite simple.

I also might have based Oberon loosely on Trent Reznor ... but if that's not at all obvious, then that's ... probably a good thing.

And after babbling about Oberon, here's two pages with Titania:



Well, okay. One page.

In the next few pages I have to do, which I will do the roughs for tonight, Titania flounces off. And that's all the characters for the story introduced! (At only page 49, hahaha!).

Next up is more arguing from Helena and Demetrius.
This is a comedy.

THIS! IS! MIDSUMMERNIGHTSDREAM!
