Auuugh. Shhh. Yes. But, obvs, this is getting drawn instead of any new pages. (Sigh.)
Close-together-standing - nah, maybe not quite that much in the show, but in the story. The first panel of the second page, with them standing super close and a bunch of brick wall behind them showing all the space Ray COULD be taking up but isn't, is meant to illustrate the passage: "Ray took a small step backwards and dropped his hands, giving Fraser some space, but not much. The sense of claustrophobia was intense..." Also, he has to stay in arm's reach if he's going to keep grabbing Fraser by the shoulders randomly!
Cleaned-up: Yeah, I'm doing more work on these than I do on L&E - because it's an adaptation, because it's for a person, and because it's Fraser and Ray and 1. they're real targets to hit, not characters I made up and can say, "good enough, that's probably what they look like," and 2. I love them. (Not that I don't love Lance and Eskimo, but I'm not fangirlish about it right now!)
Like for these I am actually doing thumbnails, roughs, and then a final pencil version, which I then ink. For L&E I just basically ink over a full size thumbnail.
Still, these still come out looking a lot less close to what I want then L&E does. Sigh. Probably due to that whole "real people" thing.
