章節 56: Spotlight#63: In Security
Have you ever wanted to chill out and enjoy your daily life? Well if you do you're not going to find it in today's spotlight, because we will be covering a rambunctious romp called in Security by Bea.R!
Author
In security is a team effort between Bea.R and her spouse "Mr Husband." They are one of the more hardworking pairs as apparently they've been working on the series nonstop for 4 years straight before getting a real break. For those of you who want to know their mostly hand-drawn process here it is.
Mr. Husband draws rough sketches on full-size sheets of paper, based on the ideas they've come up with.
Bea uses a lightbox built into her drawing table so she can transfer the roughs into more refined drawings on paper laid on top of the roughs.
Any changes Bea makes are discussed for approval or revision.
Bea makes a new drawing using finer graphite pencils.
Mr. Husband draws in the final lines using Nib pens and black india waterproof ink.
Halftones are applied, final cleanup is performed, and other elements that are prepared separately may be pasted onto the page.
Summary
Follow the anything from benign adventures of the 2 eccentric newlyweds Sam and Sedine as they have to deal with their equally crazy neighbors in adventures that will tear up the town.
Characters
Sam: Our heavenly husband, Sam is a security officer that is often friendly, passive, low maintenance and somewhat mischievous. He might not always show it but he does love his wife Sedine dearly and provides for her in terms of his job as a security guard.
Sedine: Put simply, Sedine is a clumped up whirlwind that loves Sam with all of her heart. She is energetic, flirtatious, arrogant, crazy, violent,childish and possessive. And Sam wouldn't have it any other way.
Roy: Sedine's ever loving cousin, Roy is also a childish,mischievous and eccentric family man who hangs out with Sam as they share the same job. While he can be pretty possessive of his things and let his mind wander he's never afraid to humor his own children and show them a good time.
Ellie: Sam's former lover, Ellie is a bit of a dimwit and airhead which leads her to trouble. She can also be rather picky when it comes to her men but she is a nice woman at heart.
Hubbs: An aggressive and hulky brute of a man Hubbs is a hopeless romantic at heart.
Overview
In the short time I've read In security I've become absolutely obsessed with Bea.R's artwork. Just seeing Sam and Sedine alone radiates a mix between funny old fashioned comic strips and manga which creates beautiful yet entertaining illustrations, especially when in color. Seriously, the bonus art is amazing. Overall this series is also the epitome of daily bit sized fun given it's routine updates.
The combination of over the top expressions and snark makes the character's interactions all the more fun. Speaking of the cast I've got to say that out of all the couple slice of life webtoons this is the best I've seen in terms of its overall cast. Every character in this gets massive screen time so it never feels like Sam and Sedine run the show which is more than I can say with other webtoons of the like (Small World especially) . Another aspect that I like about the cast is not only the fact that they rebound off each other constantly but also the fact that they aren't perfect characters, just entertaining ones with their own insecurities. They can be incredibly flawed and mean-spirited to each other but with how cranked up everything is it never comes off as unenjoyable. To break up any staleness to the scene the series has a soft continuity in which characters will reference small events that will carry over while still having fun original adventures. You can read something from chapter 1 to 1082 and still have something to enjoy as I read around.
Epilogue
Overall In security from the name alone is an amazingly bingeable slice of life that deserves to reign supreme on Canvas. And between their book and Mr.Husbands' youtube channel the series is bound to gain more popularity. I'll be reviewing Bea.R's other webtoon soon enough, but in the meantime let's see where the spotlight takes us next.
