Are you proud of me yet, dad?

Description

Taking a break because of utter frustration and near nervous break down just to quickly paint/doodle this. Because it's a scene of frustration, I guess.

Something I never got to explore a lot, and I wish I did (because i had it in my head for a long while) is sort of the relationship that Lucy had with Marina, as well as its significance to who Lucy is and her relationship with Bert. You see a little bit of it in Round 4 I guess, but I didn't get to play with it a lot.

The theme of the last DeviantDEAD round was promises (and the subsequent failure for everyone in the comic to keep the intimate ones that they had made, BECAUSE I'M NICE LIKE THAT). I know I portrayed Lucy much as I portrayed Ned in his earlier rounds--she's very much like her daddy, really. Her need to take care of her "daughter" and her fear of losing her. The promise to be with her and keep her safe... and then of course, the failure in keeping to that promise.

One thing in the Ned/Lucy parallel (which may or may not remain significant in this round, you might seeeee or have to dig for it) that I didn't get to play around with two much was the pain and frustration in trying to keep it together despite the fact that your world was turning on you. Like I said, I was originally planning on having Lucy and Marina be a separate side comic and never have it connect with Ned's storyline at all, but that changed--there was a lot of moments where Lucy had self-hating introspective thoughts (and insights on how she felt about her father not being a part of her childhood when she felt she needed him most), but FUCK YOU TIME.

Though, I guess in saying this, I'm basically saying that Marina is supposed to be some sort of symbol of Ned and Lucy's shared burden and pain BUT THAT'S MEAN SO PRETEND I DIDN'T SAY IT. MARINA IS THERE TO BE CUTE IN PINK AND MISSING TEETH.

LONG RAMBLE SHORT: LOOK, LUCY'S SICK OF ALL THE STRESS, JUST LIKE ME.
