This is a good example of how I will change the script as I draw, which makes my story/art process very much one thing. Originally, I thought Felicia should be drone-like all throughout this scene to illustrate how he doesn’t like lying, and doesn’t want to give Grengis the wrong idea. But, as I was drawing I thought wouldn’t it be funny if instead Felicia was being coy and girlish?
Not only is is lulzy, but now it feels like Felicia really has done something wrong in his ruthless quest to overthrow the king. He is lying to the person he just so casually deemed trustworthy. I believe that this minor difference will make future events much more interesting.

I think it was a great move. It adds humor and makes sense that Felicia would start to pick up some feminine mannerisms while pretending to be a woman.
I also think this trio is developing rather brilliantly with an extremely feminine princess, an extremely masculine veteran, and the androgynous Felicity who can show a bit of both. With this context, I see a lot of potential for Felicity to be a very memorable character and look forward to more pages.

P.S. By Felicity I of course mean Felicia. I am terrible with names. =(

Thanks! I’m really glad you like the characters so far. X3
It’s cool that you mention that, because I have felt like Felicia doesn’t show the feminine mannerisms that he would have naturally learned. There’s an enormous difference just in the way that men and women carry themselves. I wanted to represent that without making him into too feminine of a man to be relatable. So, I tried to make Felicia sort of this nul-gender character who can swing in either direction given the circumstances.
Thanks for your comment! Very encouraging. I’ll keep those pages coming the very best I can ! XD
