All Our Best 1

OddOly

Another prompt for Thought-Up which somehow turned into a comic! :D

I was thinking when people are asked to talk about their best sides they almost always end up lying in one way or another even if they don't mean to. So of course I had to let the teens have a go at it, with a little help of the person behind the camera (whom you haven't met yet but you will). If this doesn't reassure the parents their children are getting quality education- erm- well-

Jarvis, maybe you're old enough to start looking at phrases your mother programs into your AAC device a little more critically... But yeah, he is relatively popular at his school.
Harold, this is not as much of a quality as you think.
Tyler, surely you think of something? :c
Yes, Alastair, yes you are (sorry Emma, maybe next time).
Houston, this isn't your quality and half of that sentence isn't even true.
Christmas... he hates being filmed because his father is really keen on him becoming an actor (and his mother is really keen on holiday-themed clothes).
And Teague you little sod. 8I

Because I know I'll probably get the question how come Emma is the only girl here - I'm working on that (I really am, it just took a surprising amount of time letting go of some bullshit, like all that 'advice' about How Female Characters Should Look Like, it's funny how it gets to you) but these kids were the first characters from their part of the story so I felt like drawing them all together (excluding one person, not enough room) before drawing anyone else. Besides Emma just prefers hanging with this crowd anyway - she has an older brother, she thinks boys are hopeless but at least you know what to expect from them.

I'm sort of planning a sequel of this, possibly more than one - let's face it, drawing random stuff about my characters might be my greatest skill. :P

    This is awesome haha. Jarvis always has the best expressions and poor Emma, Alastair is such a ham. Houston is so lovably pitiful and Teague is such a little shit XD I love your character development!

      Thank you! I'm glad to finally get to share some stories about these kids - it'll be a while till I get to them in the big storyline so there will be more of these short comics. This is... pretty much them being their usual selves. :D
