[[11/30/2023]: Number 12 in the 'over 3000 views club'. ]
[Number 7 in the 'over 2000 views club']
I guess I should mention that "mudlark" technically refers to a class of impoverished folk living in London during the Industrial Revolution, who scavenged for saleable items in the muck of the Thames River. In modern usage, it seems to refer to folks who venture into really deep mud for the fun of sinking in it. That's the angle I'm pursuing here, rather than the "quicksand melodrama" approach of deadly sucking bogs that once you've sunk in ankle deep, your're pretty much done for (Sorry Deepsinking.org :) )
As before, you're invited to speculate on the goings-on since I'm trying to convey the story with expressions and body language.

I think this is my favorite comic of the series. The detail of her working her way deeper is portrayed very well, and the shock of Nei'chelle at the emerging tail is quite funny. The last panel really shows a, "See, nothing to fret about...so come on in."
Of special note, I think the first panel of this page closest comes to capturing Taral's style and character. It had to be quite tough forcing yourself to work with it, but your efforts paid off well.

The first panel is directly reminiscent of "Scouting Ahead", linked on the first page, but yeah, I didn't have a reference for the character's face in a side view, so I had to wing it there :D
Now that I think about it, ditto for straight-on views--all the reference pics had the heads oriented in a 3/4 view relative to the viewer.
I wouldn't call it forced--although I dim mention in our email correspondance that it was a bit of a challenge switching between styles. When I was into a groove with the art, I could actually draw his character's face faster than my own.
