Frytasm Friedad by JezMM on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

The endless whirlpool of back and forthing between FernalRed and I continue. So the backstory is that Fernal Red often likes to mimic styles when he draws characters not of his own - several bits of gift art he's drawn me have been drawn very similar to the way I draw the characters. So he drew me an Alice without taking any cues from my style, as if she was a character in his own comic, Frieda. That's kind of a tricky idea for me to return though since I pretty much always draw everything completely in my own style, and have already done so with the titular character of his comic, Frieda. Soooo instead for fun I decided "hey, why not draw Frieda as if she was in my comic - literally".

So made this, a picture of Frieda in my Phantasm Dyad comic style, complete with vector lines and minimalist colouring lol. And of course, speech bubbles for effect. I don't know much about the story of Frieda, but I know as a character she can be hot-headed, and I'm sure whatever hypothetical situation frames this moment can be easily imagined by anyone who's worked in a food joint or retail. I admittedly worked a little longer on making the pose look nice than I would for the average comic panel, but if I had made this with the same amount of energy I put into a lone incidental comic panel, it would not be much of a return gift art at all lol.

EDIT: Forgot to credit Fernal-Red as the character owner.
