Commission – let them eat cake
on September 30, 2012 at 10:18 pmAltermentality:
Hey guys, I have to study for a test/write a paper/work on stuff I’m getting paid for/not sleep, so I decided to show you this commission I just finished! It was for Zestymoo, who wanted me to draw the main trio eating strawberry cake while wearing party hats! Everything else was an embellishment.
A commission, you say? I bet those are prohibitively expensive from someone as “talented” as Alter!
Wrong! I will draw you something for SO CHEAP! Help me out so I can eat food like these guys.
So yeah, we’re not actually celebrating anything here on the site today. I personally think they’re celebrating Lorelei’s “birthday,” or her finding-day, rather. Do you notice anything about their hats? (Besides how implausible it is that Skärva would actually wear one…)
Hopefully there will be regularly-scheduled comic fun on Wednesday. I really hate shoving the “GIVE ME MONEY” in your face, but I just wanted to make sure you know. Because I’m broke, dudes. But a lot of people are, so please just enjoy this cute picture.
Oh! Yellow + Blue = Green.
… I can’t believe Skärva would eat a strawberry cake.
That’s not what I was going for, but yes, that is true!
Who WOULDN’T eat a strawberry cake? Although he prefers chocolate. Strawberries are Lorelei’s favorite. And Derk likes… meatcake…
He just didn’t seem the strawberry type to me.
… I need to not guess stuff when I am half-asleep. I should’ve noticed the magics thing. DX
their hats match their magic color.
haha oh Davis…
You got it!
He is ALWAYS stealing their food! How does he expect to keep his job? …Well, by not getting caught, I suppose.
i believe you used more pokemon references last comic
Poor Grampa Skarva…
Daddy Skärva! Unless you’re looking at it from Lorelei’s perspective. I mean he WANTS to be a real grandpa, but…
FUN FACT: Historians are not entirely sure if Ms. Antoinette ever said. “Let them eat cake”.
I want cake now. I havent even had breakfast and I want CAKE DANGIT. GIMME SOME CAKE.
They are celebrating someones cakeday maybe?
Yeah, the historical circumstances around the famous “quote” are usually misunderstood and wrongly attributed. BUT I like the French Revolution.
I got some cake at dinner tonight. No special reason. To help us survive another week of midterms, I guess. D:
if you truly are strapped for cash, I would suggest putting ads on the sidebars perhaps?
You know, like the big long kind advertising for other comics like Awk Zomb and MSPA have.
I wouldn’t mind seeing them if it meant supporting the artist/such a great comic.
Aww, thank you so much
Well, we do have our little ad, but it’s to help spread the webcomics goodwill more than anything… the thing is, we don’t get enough visitors right now for ads to rake in any notable profit. Hopefully some day, though!
I love how Skärva is using magic to eat his cake.
He can never resist showing it off, y’know. Even to the people who know him best
Egads, I have not commented in some time. I’m still here, I promise. Also, I can relate to this, because this morning I made pink lemonade cake with strawberries on top. It was very delicious.
Good thinking, Skärva. Now your hands won’t be sticky.
Hi! :3 That does sound yummy!
Maybe Skärva is afraid to get his fingers near his own mouth. Just in case.
Waaaaaaiiit a minute… Why does Skarva have teeth WAY out there? WHen his mouth is closed, that’s just snout.
Do his teeth like curl out like a snake? ‘Cause that goes from a plain curse to a work of horror.
Well, I was just going to say, artistic license and inconsistencies for the sake of effect, you know… but I like your idea so much better.
I have several comments!
First, aaw, poor Skärva the Third – one of the down-sides of being a ghost, I suppose. :/
Second, I find it amusing that Lorelei seems to be admiring her piece of cake. In all fairness, pink -is- a good colour for cake.
On which topic, third! I commend your choice of cake! (I might complain of being made hungry for strawberry cake now, but I have both cake and a few strawberries – if not in one confection – available to me. :P)
And finally, appropriately “Fourth”: See? See!? I told you that the demon wasn’t to be trusted! ;P
(The comic that I’m working on is still coming, I do intend – it’s just taking rather longer than expected! ^^;;
… I do hope that it’s actually funny to people who aren’t me after this wait. ^^;;; )
Pros: You get to fly, no more being hungry. Cons: No cake.
Strawberry cake was actually specified by the commissioner! So thank her!
Well, of course. Demons were made to do this kind of thing. Literally.
Well, whenever you get done, I can put it up and then have a little more time to make the next comic extra nice
