Added 2025-02-01 02:25:28 +0000 UTCMade it! Thank you for waiting! I've also included a quick painted version of the Casey chibi from my delay announcement because she went over surprisingly well on the Discord server.
So what threw a wrench into my cogs here? Well, what I had planned initially just ended up feeling like a boring exposition dump to me, I guess. I felt like it was necessary to show Halver catching Casey up on who he was and his mission because I worry that things would be getting confusing otherwise. (How does he know who she is already, for example. The fact that he knows Casey's deal quite well from being bonded to Lydia isn't exactly spelled out here and that feels like something readers could use a reminder of.) I try to make lore explanations entertaining in some way if I can but in this case I just couldn't swing it with what I had. There was no choice but to go back to the drawing board Wednesday night.
In the end maybe this page is an over-correction that skips around too much in the name of not getting bogged down. I feel what I'm trying to say is summed up quite nicely by that last panel. Was it a bit of an abrupt cut for them to be suddenly be in the shower together? Maybe. Was this more visually interesting than just having them be still on the bed? I think so, and interesting won the day. I hope my gambles paid off well enough for you and I'd love to hear your feedback either way.

That wrapper must be delicous

2025-02-04 00:55:15 +0000 UTCI'm glad to hear it. It was a lot of work for me to convey what i wanted here and have the dialogue still make sense. XD

2025-02-04 00:52:15 +0000 UTCHey thanks! I can't help but try and make every page stand on it's own if i can help it. Though I might feel differently if I was able to produce more than one page per week.

2025-02-04 00:51:10 +0000 UTCThanks! And yeah Casey would be tearing clothes off pretty fast shower or not. XD

2025-02-04 00:51:03 +0000 UTCThanks! Was hoping to show their size difference here.

2025-02-01 10:48:10 +0000 UTCI'm liking the pose of Switch wrapping herself around Casey- the way she's being enveloped is nice, and illustrates the appeal of giant women.

2025-02-01 09:47:19 +0000 UTCI think it works better this way. The alternative isn't telling the reader something they don't know so much as explaining how certain characters know things the reader already knows. Though I recognise that's a fine distinction. Also, I think the jump cut to the shower works fine. I read it as showing just how quickly Casey was out of her clothes as soon as Halver left the room.

2025-02-01 08:12:41 +0000 UTCI think skipping the exposition was perfectly fine.

2025-02-01 06:04:35 +0000 UTCIt’s good to see switch and Casey again, however I really am hoping she does say Isaac as I see lots of potential for humour and surprises but then again each page you create is full of surprises. Really can’t wait for next week!!

2025-02-01 04:36:32 +0000 UTCWhile I definitely won't complain about more nudity and dynamic shots and whatever else you've really gotta have some faith in your exposition/story/world building. A single page that focuses a bit heavily on it isn't a bad thing. You've created more than enough intrigue to rely on that from time to time without overly stressing about making every page stand on it's own in some way. But that's just my opinion of course and either way I'm gonna be happy lol

2025-02-01 03:33:41 +0000 UTCI desperately want Switch to say "Isaac", and Casey to respond "who?"

2025-02-01 02:54:47 +0000 UTCI like this set-up. It speaks to Switch and Casey's intimacy. And it's cute to see Switch canoodling with Casey.

2025-02-01 02:41:50 +0000 UTCWait... is she just eating the wrapper *by itself* now? Is Switch just a sexy goat?
Squid Hills
2025-02-01 02:36:18 +0000 UTCDefinitely NOT Issac. Anyone, but Issac.

2025-02-01 02:34:13 +0000 UTCSwitch, babe, for the love of the gods, do NOT out Isaac, I am begging you. My boy does not need that Casey smoke

2025-02-01 02:33:39 +0000 UTCI think the page works out quite well. I think by this point the audience would recognize that Lydia and Casey have some rather...heated encounters and that Halver would undoubtedly witness at least a few of them. And yes, interesting does win out in my mind. I imagine it doesn't take that long to get Casey into a shower with Switch =P

2025-02-01 02:31:06 +0000 UTCOh no… that’s a loaded question Casey….
