If anything looks, say, a different shape or size when it’s around Gemini, it’s due to her illusion powers and in no way the fault of my drawing.
Really, though, I have a lot of practice drawing individual pictures, but to have several people on the same page, doing different things, remaining the same size relative to each other and their belongings...well, this is still practice.
That’s actually one thing that’s always intimidated me about the webcomic format – that your talent level can change so much over the course of a story, and there isn’t as much chance to go back and apply what you’ve learned as there is in, say, an illustrated book. Also, I rarely write anything in order, so I always like to have the option to go back and add or change things. So the idea that these first few pages are the beginning of a much larger whole seems very weird to me. Because the project isn’t finished, everything should still be fluid and able to be changed. This all still feels like just practice, even when I say to myself, “This page is ready.” But it’s not perfect yet!
Later I write:
It's also strange because these ones I'm putting up now seem so old. I haven't yet reached my ridiculous number of buffer comics, but I'll probably start uploading two a week this week anyway, because I want everyone to see the cool stuff I'm doing! Right now I'm excited about the bit with the plum.
That bit isn't the next thing I should be drawing, though, which is an example of why I need my buffer. I never write anything in order. I'll have to draw maybe five or ten pages (of which only one is scripted) before I get to draw the exciting part with the plum. Not that there aren't cool things in those pages, I'm just not as excited about them so it's taking me forever to write the scripts and bang them into an acceptable format.
Anyway, look for a new comic on Thursday. It'll probably be there.
