Description
Ah, one never forgets the first time... --the first time you get hit on by someone who simply won't take no for an answer. It doesn't matter that you're with your friends trying to eat, or on your own just out at the mall. There will come a time when you have to fend off that guy. Ladies you know who I'm talking about.
It's a good thing that nerds hang it packs. Even though Greta was not officially part of their group(she's a nerd by association in this case). Rhonda might be described as bookish until she gets up --LOL. Even Goop managed to screw on his courage and stand up.
Ahhhh... The exciting times of youth.
I was trying to flesh out some of the other characters in her world and when I do that, I like to try to give them a context. It makes it easier for me to visualize their character. Main characters are defined by their scoobies. I wanted Mike to have a circle of friends that are not just window dressing.
Many thanks to the folks at Pixalogic for the snakehook brush and the move brush, otherwise Greta's shirt would still be unnaturally clinging to her impressive rack.

Great image and backstory to go with it. I hate leaving negative comments but, maybe the lighting could have been brighter? Most mall food courts or diners are really bright. Otherwise, love your work and storytelling as usual.

Also, the POV is outstanding. Love the over the shoulder camera angle.

I know what you mean about back stories. I once had a game master ask me to come up with a small back story about a new character; I came up with a 75 page novella. Most of my work is pretty well narrated as well. And since you're Daz as well, I'm gonna have to look up those brushes. Keep 'em coming, I like the start of this :)

Sometimes I find it's vital to creating images that I have at least an emotion in mind before I start. These characters are a lot easier because they have their own story that's being written when I'm not doing this. Having an image in my mind that matches what I write about them really helps me brainstorm and visualize the elements of the story.

Excellent story and illustration! I am going to ditto the lighting comment, though. I am considered "Lighting Challenged" and 2/3 of my time I spend working on the lighting of my scenes. Take a few minutes to experiment with moving and/or adding lights. Play with the intensity and scale and also color. You have a wonderful eye for composition so give lighting a few minutes.
