Hatter25 prompt: "rescue".

This is the follow up to "water", and the second of a three-part story in pictures -- Reggie saves Alice after falling through an icy pond. I TOLD you she'd be okay. I hate unhappy endings, so I try to never draw them. And hey, it's Disneyland; there's always a heroic stag around when you need one.

I was heavily inspired by Jeff Smith (Bone), and Bill Watterson (Calvin & Hobbes). I feel like I'm really terrible at the comic format, especially dramatic action sequences, so this was a huge success for me. My only regret is that Reggie's freckles were lost in the strict black-and-white. Lord, I do love those freckles. (This was meant to be in black-and-white, and I'd like it to stay that way, please.)

I'm so pleased with this I could spit. :)

props and love: Reggie belongs to :iconbri-chan:
materials: ink on bristol
music: Björk, "Play Dead"

You did the format justice. Don't worry, well done.
I hope someone colors it in, I loved the color scheme in the first part of the story.

Can't wait to see how it ends! :D

No, no! I don't want it colored, it was made to be in black and white.

This is absolutely beautiful. I love these panels that desbribe a scene without words.

He obviously jumped in after her, with the wet hair (and left his had behind, no less!) and I love how he's calling out for help. The puffs of air and breeze make it soo chilly.

I don't know if it was intentional, but I like that we see her hand change positions a little, to touch his arm. So romantic! :heart:
