This one is full of experiments. The coats of the wolves (yes, that`s what they`re supposed to be) is a base of gray, with a darker gray airbrushed over using the tablet sensitivity to judge opacity, not size. I also used a gray with some brown in it for another coat, which had the hue jitter set all the way up. Then I applied the highlight coat with soft edges but the rest of the brush set to “normal”. I like the result, though I`m sure with more practice I could do better. That`s why I threw in the extra one in the last panel, though it also kind of shows how the protagonist views the moderator and audience.
There is shading all over the place, and I made sure to get everything I could think of. I spent a lot of time erasing things I didn`t like, but I`m not too displeased with the results here. The center “panel” gets a dark tint to make it look more foreboding. Boring subject matter? Just add a dash of drama!
I really did see this happen to a young woman, though not quite as badly. Part of it was “her fault”, as she didn`t have the proper slides for her presentation. At least, she didn`t think she did. Part of it, though, was unavoidable, and frankly, it was clear that English wasn`t her first language, though she spoke pretty well. I`d like to see anyone who grilled her have to sit through her presentation in her native tongue then have to answer a test. Say, ten questions.
To make it sporting, for every question they get wrong, they should be hit with a cattle prod. That may not be commensurate to what they did to her, but it would drive the point home.
