    Happy Birthday, Skärva~~ *throws confetti*

    I seriously love each and every one of these. Though, I think Triumph, Flirty, and Drunk are my favorites. …because we never witness any of them.

    Hope the move goes smoothly!

      Triumph and flirty, always the favorites. So much win.

      On the rare occasions he gets drunk, he might get flirty, but it probably wouldn’t lead to triumph.

      “Happy” might be the weirdest of all. When is he ever so innocently cheery?

      Yeah, at some point I decided his ears shouldn’t be as mobile, for no truly good reason. I should start making them perky again.

          The people have spoken! (Well, at least one guy has.) I’ll see what I can do!

    Looking at this now, I realize I hadn’t established the quirk that he can control his lower eyebrows but not his upper ones. They’re behaving as a unit here except for when he’s discombobulated. I could have done a lot more with nuance.

    Also, in “triumph” he appears to only have 3. Ok then. The other was so triumphant it just jumped right off his face.

    I really like RAGE!Skarva’s curly tongue. Very expressive.
    Also, I agree with bringing back emotive ears! Emotive ears are the best kind of ears.

    I know I learned my lesson when it comes to finalizing a character’s look before starting the comics! X_X

    Happy Birthday Skarva!

    Oh, another thing! He has four fingers in some pictures and three in others! I guess I was trying to nail it down…

    If royal lines such a skarva ever go to school i imagine some of these could be his school photos. I especially enjoy the flirty skarva.

    I remember when Silly was used! Though I think it might have been more triumphant.

          Oh, yes! Haha, I didn’t purposefully recall this exercise there, but it did come out looking that way. The “devilish good looks” panel was definitely inspired by the Flirty face, though.

          I’m sure that over the course of the story, he’ll have a chance to experience all these emotions…

    Wonderful. Just magnificent. Incredulous skarva is my favorite, but tired skarva is just plain adorable.
