Second page of the comic. Probably out of 4 or 5; may add more if I choose to. So, I was thinking about having my character show progression through the face. But, when I first drew, it was all the heads in a three-quarter position. While it portrayed the message well, it was WAY too static. So, I mixed it up a little and changed the face positions: 3/4 facing straight ahead, profile facing down, and 3/4 -- sideways look facing slightly up. And the final position kind of like the middle.

Oh: story time: So, dwarf put on the color. And it still feels warm and soft. Eerily warm... it is at that point that the collar inflates. A little surprised at first, not knowing what to think. Until it continues inflating and shrinking his own muzzle. In a panic, he tries to grab the collar and tear it off. He knocks off the tag that was fastened to his collar as it continues to puff up. He doesn't even notice his hair shrinking/falling out, or his ears moving to the back of his head and fusing together.

It becomes obvious that trying to get this inflated thing off isn't going to work when fins his muzzle totally collapses and fins sprout from his writs.
