Scene from Willa/Miss Billishire/Lord Tad sex/comedy/drama thing...At one point in the story someone attempts to kill Willa by tossing her down one of the castle's wells. She manages to slow her fall via bucket rope and hitting the sides - fortunately there was enough water...There was also a metal ladder on the side of the well - and she finds a couple secret passages....
Original pencil was on a 2x3 inch yellow postit note - we used them back when this was done in animation storyboards to rough out sequences early on, so we can remove panels, change order, etc...
i wanted to post a Willa pic to go with the previous Miss Billishire pic as my official return to posting...but i couldn't decide which of three old pics to finish-up a bit ... so i've been working on all three...this one got done first. i'd posted the ink version of this back in May 2011, so it's been awhile. i think i did most of this colouring back in 2020 and i wanted to keep the colouring sort of "poster-like" flatish style like the old Willa "First Glance pic.
After getting this mostly done i decided her head was too small - so that was a cut-and -paste edit but with a zillion little things to fix to make the new version work.

Darkening the scene certainly improves the mood. I love the detail of the halo around the candle, but who would have lit it I wonder? I can see the influences of the animation industry in this for sure.
The main influence here some comiix from the early 70s by Vaughn Bode and Bernie Wrightson called "Purple Pictograhy" the usually two or three page comic stories were published in some "men's magazines" such as 'Swank'. They're sort of legendary/odd/esteemed among Bode and Wrightson fans.
I never found a chunk of Skunk in my well (darn it). Muskrats, now...
report back to base for re calibration unit 'perfesser-bear'. humans do not say things like "I never found a chunk of Skunk in my well (darn it)." 'muskrat' is a code word for a level 32 heating coil failing to read input code from system 37 temp monitoring,. Report for diagnostics. Avoid human 'dance' 'music'.
The darkening helps a lot. Adds a lot more color disparity and sense of desperation for the lovely piece.
The colour disparity is also hightened here by an added texture layer that the lighter version doesn't have; it's a rather subliminal effect of lots of small dark and light spots all over the picture plain - sort of like film grain - and it gives a barely noticed sense of tacticity and detail.
The slime dripping, the candle wax and the water are such great details that add to the ambiance of the beauty exploring the well.
Thanks! i had "written" (plotted in my head) this part of the story a few years before i sketched the rough of this on a post-it note while taking a break from working on a storyboard for whatever show - so i wasn't thinking much and that sort of "taking a break/doodling" can make for some cool pics.
