Hello everyone!
This week started on the 6th of March 2017 for Mr Owl. And this time, the lady came back in an eerie setting…
MONDAY
Mr Owl is going to work, and the moon is full. He decides to use a different path than usual. He stumbles upon the most mysterious tree he’s ever seen in the city. « Spring is coming », he thinks.
TUESDAY
Mr Owl realised he still had a bit of time, so he chose to rest for a bit in this uncanny place. « Let’s enjoy this little moment before I get to work », he thinks, as a shadow closes in.
WEDNESDAY
Mr Owl opened his eyes. « I’m here to make you an offer you can’t refuse, Mr Owl », she says.
Oh and happy women’s day, lovely people 🙂
THURSDAY
Mr Owl wanted to say something, but he realised he didn’t even know The Lady’s name. « … », he says, in an awkward silence.
FRIDAY
It’s a crisis time. Mr Owl’s demon tells him « Remember she slapped you? Take revenge right now! », while the angel says « It is time for forgiveness, let go of resentment! ».
« I really don’t care about any of this, I just need her name right now! », he thinks.
SATURDAY
The Lady’s angel : « Come on, help him, just say something! ».
The demon : « For once I have to agree with the angel, I pity this owl… »
SUNDAY
After she realised Mr Owl was totally blocked, she said : « Just call me The Lady, like anyone else »
This week is typically the kind of week where I just create as I go. I kind of have an idea of where I’m going with this encounter, but I didn’t plan on doing the angel / demon thing. I thought it would be fun to play with iconic figures, and see how they would apply to an owl.
Also, I don’t know how clear that was, but the first image is supposed to represent a human heart. The trunk of the tree being the veins, and the shadow being the actual muscle. I just thought it was a cool idea… There’s no further meaning to it than that though. I wish it could have some deep meaning foreshadowing the story but no. I’m not that clever.
Sometimes I forget to add some details to my drawings. Like The Lady normally has a scar on her right cheek, but I forgot to add it on Saturday’s drawing (I edited the image for this article, but on social media her scar healed somehow haha). Same for the pattern of her jacket. Sometimes it’s got stripes, sometimes it doesn’t. Ah well. Attention…
Other than this, there were 2 main points for this week :
- Announce that there will be something going on with The Lady
- No need to look for names. In this universe, all characters have stupid names. I guess it was inspired more or less consciously by this video (there are English subtitles) :
Look forward to next week! Well, look forward to the next few hours really, cause next week has already started. Anyhow, Take care of yourselves, and see you soon!
