Rating: T
Length: Eight total pages displayed in pairs.
Warnings: Depiction of canon character death. Spoilers for season 1 of the show.
Notes: 100% handmade minizine done with Chinese ink and red gouache. Taking the "innocent" prompt literally seeing as this zine I made last year fits the theme rather well... :)
Summary: JP Williams is dead. Despite the circumstances, a mystery remains: there must have been foul play, right? Who dies like that? Surely it was one of the Garvey sisters...

(Over here!)

Could I maybe have a Bad Sisters tag...? There will be more of them to come, hehe.

Wow, awesome skill. I was always fascinated by black and white drawings, like graphics, how a few simple lines can give you the complete image. The black hair, for example, there's such a gloss that you want to feel how silky they must be. The disheveled hair seem a little trickier to draw. I think the straight ones are also realistic.

Now about the idea, honestly first thing I noticed was that face with the tongue out on the corpse. You can't take him seriously, such a small silly guy.

And of course the theme of innocence is apparent here. The one who weaves the whole web of intrigues doesn't seem dangerous at all with this serene expressions. The girl directly next to her also is really expressive and uneasy, and the one with a needle seems like quite a tough lady (despite being dressed so stylishly in contrast to others wearing something simple and comfortable). Lots to look at here.

Thank you! I also love how much we can ultimately get from something that looks so "limited" as working with black and white. Limitation lends itself well to finding some nice creative solutions after all!

Haha, yeah. JP is a turd of a man in canon so I couldn't bear to portray him in a dignified manner :)

That's a curious observation on their clothing! I tried to match up their styles to what they were wearing on-screen when they more or less came up with this or that murder plot (there are quite a few in the show) and it is interesting that Ursula was a bit more dressed-up. Hmm...
