4th page of the untitled "Berrycity" comics featuring Miellaby and Grise Rosée.
This is also the last page I've ever done. I didn't even try to finalize them. Observe the so-called "artist" progress from draft strokes to finalized drawings. Rubber seems to be my main tool actually.
Translation hereafter:
Miellaby - Grise! I need to tell you something.
Grise Rosée - Please, little wallaby, tell me :)
Miellaby - but?! one second. I see only one bed and we are two.
Grise Rosée - Come on Miel! What did you want to say?
Miellaby - well, the mistress of this hostel is stuck on you. _I know_ I smelled it!
... thanks to my natural gift. You know, my nose.
Grise Rosée - ok ; well ; about your first asking, I won't sleep here tonight. That being said, I don't know how to thank you for your "scoop".
Miellaby (disappointed) - You're welcome
Miellaby sniffing - Moreover, now I smell an other very strong odor in this room ... but I don't see what it deals with yet.
Grise: *sighs*

I think all the idea of the series is sum up here. I wanted to tell a quite gentle story within a fantasy world, and melt it with adult-legible jokes. The Miellaby/Grise characters pair is supposed to be humourous: one is very naive and trusting in opposite to the other. At the beginning, Grise wins most points. Then, Miellaby reveals himself to be a cure for Grise's inability to love and compassion.
If you want to know everything, there was several parallel storylines among all the issues
* Miellaby eventually learns he is "pheronomophile". Don't look for a translation. It means he's got a natural gift allowing him to smell every information about animal body states -lust, pregnancy...-. Miellaby already knew he can tell any person's lineage as well, that is who's anyone's biological father. As a matter of fact, this gift will put Miellaby in many many dangerous situations.
* What did Grise before meeting Miellaby? It looks like he comes back after having been banished for many years. I don't even know why myself. But I guess he was threaten to death as a witness of some sex scandals in high society involving the king himself (a stallion).
* As Miellaby's naiveness diminishes, he starts looking for a mate. It becomes a sort of background storyline. But I didn't plan to give him a single chance as ...
* the very big secret you're not supposed to discover before the #89912 issue is that actually everything happens in our own future far after the artificial extinction of human species. Because I find this idea classy. It explains as well why Miellaby is the only roo (with a pouch actually, maybe I wanted to make him herm) of this whole world. Poor thing.
* Miellaby and Grise are soon joined by other of my characters: Thybert, a smug person who always wants to make business with Miellaby's sniffing ability ; Mélanjolie is a good-looking fem wolf who acts as everyone's loving mother -except Grise she love secretly- after joining the team ; There is a bitch as well -I don't remember her name-. She's always really positive and such. She also says Yes to every male's proposal, which appears to be a serious problem of hers. Now I'd like to make her look like Rose's avatar (sorry Rose).
That being said, I think the main reason I didn't keep on working on my skills is the fact I could not manage my urge to draw porn. I think I could not have help myself putting the cursor too far, making the whole series rejected by some potential readers.
My my ... I speak so much.

The balance of how 'adult' to be or how innocent to act, can be difficult.
It is a big discovery that 'big-foot' and 'big-eyes' toons can have a realistic part of their life, including sexuality (or porn). This is easier for cartooners to understand than many of the readers. There is a confusion of surface appearance and the inner life. In the USA, many in the population do not want to understand this, or prefer to be willfully ignorant.
In the USA, the artist Vaughn Bode was among the most visible to do stories about the contrast between the visual style of the characters and their adult urges and abilities.
