Characters: Lord Tiberius Skärva the Fourth
Courtney:
Colors will be up as soon as I can do them! I gotta go audition someone tonight. Did I tell you I’m directing a play?
This page and the next one are some of my favorites we’ve done in a long time. It took a while for us to write this interaction just right… I wanted to slip a little more backstory in, but Victor decided now’s not the time! Still, I think it’ll give some new insights into how the Fourth and his father relate.
Man. I love the Third.
That is kind of depressing.
Just wait until the NEXT comic!
Talk about generational cursed with suck. He is stuck with the family business with no way out.
I just noticed that The Third’s hair looks like a dorsal fin. Was that on purpose?
Haha… yes and no! I didn’t design it that way – it actually used to be different… http://thefourthcomic.com/?comic=looks-like-the-cat-isnt-in-the-cradle-after-all But then whenever I drew him, his hair sort of started evolving into Phoenix Wright levels of straight-backness, and then one day I was like “Whoa, it totally looks like a fin and the Third would have TOTALLY styled it that way intentionally.” He was way more into pushing the whole shark motif.
If you’re good enough, you can make money at everything. Including losing.
That’s exactly what the Third did! He was REALLY good at business. And losing.
The Third seems so hopeful, but leave it to Skaerva to never betray his villainous roots
Also, is the Third touching the Fourth in that last panel? Hmm, very interesting…
Sure he is! But ghosts can touch things and pick things up: http://thefourthcomic.com/?comic=its-gonna-be-a-long-day-again
The Third DOES have Nick hair, oh gosh…!
The chains were not a nice touch, hush old man.
Does that make the Fourth Trucy? He IS good at magic
…I kinda want to draw the Third in a “Papa” beanie now…
That’s a cool thing I just noticed, The Third’s state is currently hidden, allowing new readers to continue on down to the first appearance in the main story.
Eyup! We didn’t want to give it away right now. But notice, I color him differently… he doesn’t have the pinkness of blood in his veins that his son does…
I noticed you were reading the comic again last night.
Thanks! But whew, you breezed through it… crazy how years of work can be consumed so fast ^_^;
10 percent it too much for the Third? Heh, I thought the third was nicer than that
