Trixie/Sunburst Cloak Comic

This is a single-page comic drawn in Clip Studio Paint, inspired by a pen-and-marker sketch. I scanned the sketch in, drew up the page around it, and wrote up a cute little interaction.

I've been experimenting with storytelling, particularly in short-form pages like this one, and I'm fairly happy with how this turned out. I originally planned on going more in-depth on the background rendering, but it turned out to have a nice out-of-focus quality that centered the characters, so I left it mostly as-is after the initial flats. The dialogue and positioning the word bubbles in particular took some time - I can see why most comics have much smaller text!
