Artist's commentary
Surprise HuGUUUAAAHHH
I think the two easiest ways to make something funny are to show someone getting hurt and to exaggerate the hell out of it. So naturally having both makes it twice as easy.
I thought Rin seemed pretty proud when she mentioned kicking Emi for trying to hug her, and I had this picture in mind ever since. I was going to do something different with the lines so I did the ones there first as a safety net, and tried out some different brushes. They all turned out shitty, so I just went with my default. At least I know a few more things that don't work for future reference. Also I was kind of sick of orange and yellow from the last picture, so I was going to have this picture set at noon, but I was tired of always drawing the exact same sky in my backgrounds, so I tried changing it up a bit. Gave me a chance to practice a different light source too, which was nice.
I'm going to do a little experiment with my next picture, just to see who actually reads these descriptions. Not that I'm mad at the people who don't (or do), I'm just curious and it's a little frustrating how I can never predict it. So, keep this blurb in mind in the future.
