25 Essential Expressions-- Verity
One of the things I always regretted about my previous comics was that I never really put a lot of the professional-level homework into them, not the least of which is an expressions sheet. So for my current one, I decided to remedy this. I grabbed this template for the task:

Holy cats, this is a lot more work than it looks like. But on the upside, I now have a proper expressions reference for Verity. The hardest one to settle on was actually "flirty," as Verity is not exactly a seething cauldron of self-assurance and social adeptitude. (Is that a word?) So I went with "giggly and embarrassed" instead, which is pretty much how she'd react to anybody she really found attractive. "Fierce" and "rage" were tough choices as well, considering how neither of those things Verity tends to be.
I'll need to do one of these for Tanya too, but I have some time before that since she doesn't actually appear until about 5 pages into the comic.

Bad, bad, bad designer of totally awesome face study sheet! It's "Nauseated," not "Nauseous." I wouldn't have pointed it out, but then I was like, "Yeah, it's The Gneech. He cares about things like that."
"Irritated" looks predatory. Like, "Oooh, Tiffany's with Leonard, and that leaves Conrad free for meeeee...."
What is the thing which she is glaring at in the "Disgusted" box?
Very cool stuff. I can see a definate "The Gneech" fingerprint, and yet a definite evolution from the days when you were drawing SJ.

Much as I appreciate your grammarian inclinations, the first dictionary definition of "nauseous" is "affected by nausea," which is perfectly applicable. :)
The "disgusted" critter is some sort of slime creature from outer space sticking out its revolting fleshy bitey appendage.
The current state of my style is where Suburban Jungle wanted to go but didn't have enough room in the panels for. :) The larger comics page gives me much more real estate! :) Thanks. :)
