The Good Life: Betsy & Veronica

I took digital painting this spring at Grossmont college and for our last project we had to make a comic page.
I had been trying to do this since 3rd grade and every time it was the same outcome; First couple of panels were good quality, but the last few were chicken scratch. This was usually because I was in such a hurry to get to the point that I stopped caring how it looked by the end. This put me off of comics for future ideas that I had.
For years my friends keep asking when I was going to do a comic, and my answer was always I LOVE comics, but I don't do comics.
For this project I took a different approach, I drew every panel separately, then I put them together on the computer.
To fulfill the project's needs we had to have 8 panels (plus title), and lines given to us by the instructor (which were taken from the play "Waiting for Godot"
I realize that I got a long way to go in making comics, but this one got me into it again.
What I decided to test drive my new comic page drawing techniques by using two characters that I've been designing early this year, Betsy and Veronica, my second attempt at furry characters (The first being my very first original characters based on my pet rabbits Yakko and Dot.)
This comic page is also going to be part of my "The Good Life" series which is where i decided to put my new furries. I got the name from one of my favorite Weezer songs of the same name. so here it is Enjoy. The Good Life: Betsy and Veronica: Betsy's Late Date
