Here, October works hard to get on with his fellow co-workers at Cafe Plaisir, making friends as only he can. Can Colin and Chai hold him down or are things about to get very ugly? Read the part and find out. z: )

This is the illustration for part 5 in the Cafe Plaisir: October's Jaunt storyline, which you can find here:

...and I thought the last project was a monster. This took me half a week. Half a week of weeping and tweaking path tool lines. I really need to get a sodding tablet. Now if only I wasn't banned from using Silversketch's... Drawing wrong handed with a mouse (I'm left handed) is not super mega fun.

I'm still pleased with how this came out and I have to thank:
 Dark_Violet
Whose characters Eclipse, Sinister and Dextus are all on the right and who provided encouragement, a critical eye and some seriously useful quadrupedal anatomy lessons. Future Pokemon art should be improved immensely and you have him to thank.
As well as my darling:
 SilverSketch
Who helped me pick a lot of my colour swatches (apparently I'm not allowed) served as my reliable second opinion for almost everything I was unsure of and put up with the majority of my whining about how hard art is. z: )

I'm probably going to avoid doing six character, complex pose stuff like this for a while, since as aforementioned, this piece took so long it's held back my writing. Apologies for that. I did learn a hell of a lot in doing it, though.

Still, it's not bad eh? At least it's not terrible.

Okay, okay, writer's going back to wrting...
