VIJAY and DANIEL stroll through artist alley.
VIJAY: He couldn't have been a little bit more sensitive? Waited a little bit longer before asking me to run his errands?
DANIEL: This is Micah we're talking about.
An artist at a booth behind them spots VIJAY.

ARTIST: Um! Excuse me! Vijay, right?
VIJAY: Huh? Yeah, that's me...

ARTIST, handing a print to VIJAY: Oh my gosh! Sorry for the jumpscare, but you're something of a hero to me and my friends. We all got really into Princess Fight because of you, and so I drew some fanart of you with your character.

The print is of an elaborate, flower-adorned shoujo-style rendition of VIJAY and her Princess Fight main, AFRINA.
ARTIST: I gotta get back to my table, but I just wanted to tell you that you looked really cool up on stage today! Congrats on top 8!
VIJAY: Oh my god, th-thank you so much...!!

VIJAY and DANIEL walk away from artist alley, with VIJAY clutching the print to her chest in pure elation.
DANIEL: Feel better now?
VIJAY: Mmhm.

5: Artist Alley

A long time ago, just by way of being my extremely sincere self, I learned the power of telling someone that they looked cool while doing a thing.

One thought on “5: Artist Alley

  1. I’d love to say, I’ve wanted to see a comic that digs further into the local fighting game scene experience for a long time. The way other comics or entire series have tapped into the way fighting games can be exciting, it’s only more clear to me that there’s so many ways to depict this kind of experience because the fighting game culture is so vast. That’s why I’m so excited to see whatever Princess Fight is like, because it sounds like it will show a little more of your local energy in your own way- Afrina already looks interesting! And yet, there’s still so much untapped potential for storytelling through games- It reminds me of what some saturday morning cartoons have done for me for my whole life, doesn’t it just make sense?

    I like the main characters you’ve introduced here and especially adore Vijay, Micah and Gloomy so far. I can’t wait to see all of them in action soon. Thanks for making my eyes light up! Cheers.
