An ink and paint pen WiP cartoon of my OCs The Watchers, two mysterious interdimensional beings in hooded robes (they might BE hooded robes!) with mouse ear bumps, and gold hands and wings (usually). Their faces are never visible (they might not have faces! No one knows!), only black shadows.
The drawing is 6x12 inches, vertical. There are two panels, a large one above, and a smaller one below. The drawing is titled “LA MORT DES AILES: Une Tragédie!”, which, translated from French is “The Death of Wings: A Tragedy!”.
Underneath is written “Partie 1: quoi, moi, m’iniquiéter?” (Part 1: what, me worry?).
The Watcher is posing, looking coyly over their shoulder, wings folded against their back, one hand up to their “face”, the other elegantly held out behind them at hip height. They are singing “I feel pretty, oh, so pretty…”.
Panel 2 (underneath) is titled “Partie 2: Oh! Un coup de poignancy en plain cœur! Alors!” (Part 2: Oh! A stab in the heart! Oh dear!).
Below, both Watchers are facing each other, the taller Watcher on the left, with dragon/bat wings partially visible, the shorter Watcher on the right, feathered wings folded. The left Watcher says “Um… how attached are you to the wings?”, and the shorter Watcher replies “They’re fused to my spine. Why?”.
And the taller Watcher says “Damn.”.
All signs point to something terrible! Oh, Mouse Prophet, protect us with your bony, bony fingers!

[Terrible Google translation] French New Wave Surrealist theatre!
Little do they know the terrible fate that awaits them. They will smoke, & stare moodily out of windows. *giggles in Truffaut*
