Switch Page 79
Added 2016-05-19 23:22:35 +0000 UTCYou know in retrospect, it's a damn miracle I never once, as far as I know, ever slipped and described Switch as a "she" by accident when typing in comments to my pages. Thankfully the cat's out of the bag now so I don't have to worry about my own absent-mindedness blowing it for anyone lol.
So we finally see a bit more of how Switch looks through Casey's eyes! I confess that I fussed over and reworked this page more than any other two pages put together so far. At first I rendered Switch entirely in the same glowing scribbles she talks with, as I did when I showed her hand during the shower scene in chapter 4. But in the end I decided that the effect looked, well, lazy. So that's why Switch is much more solid now than last we saw her. I also decided that when she's in solid form talking to Casey she needs normal text when she talks, as the scratchy letters need to be bigger to be legible. This works fine normally, but when she's speaking more than sentence or two at a time those letters simply take up too much space. From a storytelling perspective I imagine it as a matter of how focused on Switch Casey is. Switch is often interrupting her when she's focused on someone else, so Casey doesn't see or hear her as well. But things get sharper when it's just the two of them.
I'm posting this early today because I have some errands that will be dragging me away from my desk tonight around the time I normally post. Hope everyone's having a great evening and thanks as always for following my comic! :D

2016-05-21 06:33:26 +0000 UTCThanks for the input! I did feel like the hand alone looked fine all sketchy, but when I drew that second panel of her face in that scribbly style it just felt to me that it looked unfinished. It worked out though, I like Switch better in solid form. Though I'll use her this way quite sparingly for the rest of the story. Switch works best when she's chiming in on things that are happening to Casey, but if she's always there in person she'll be pretty damn distracting in a visual sense.

2016-05-20 12:10:03 +0000 UTCI think switch was just screwing with casey, also banging royce and fingering oneself might not be a big deal in caseys mind. Also isnt casey 18? I think the drinking age is 21 despite 18 is classified as an "adult" by law in america. She might be worried caseys mum lecturing casey and being annoying. Funny because countries like australia 18 you can do anything

2016-05-20 12:01:19 +0000 UTCinteresting turn of events :) like most people here i thought switch had a male influenced tone, I didn't feel switches hand was lazy, it was nice and added to the tone of the page. Giving too much solid form to switch may give it a feel like switch might be some ghost like switch is real, i thought it was a 'inner' casey speaking. I still think its cool tho :P

2016-05-20 11:52:21 +0000 UTCWell I wouldn't say MAIN worry lol. Switch is just trying to pester her here, but you have a point.

2016-05-20 07:19:08 +0000 UTCIn fact I was not able to finish my post. :P She is fuking his stepfather... Her mother know she masturbastes when they are fucking, horny as hell... And the main worry of Switch is that they will notice she drinks beer from the fridge?

2016-05-20 07:14:40 +0000 UTC¿? I'm quite surprised.

2016-05-20 07:14:09 +0000 UTCI did always imagine Switch as female myself, but i did my damnedest to keep her dialog as gender neutral as possible so I certainly don't blame you for picturing a guy.
Reinbach
2016-05-20 04:51:31 +0000 UTCWell for one thing,yes I did just want to show her panties so you got me. In my head I imagined her starting to to kick her covers off in that panel but I suppose I could have shown that in her legs a bit more.
Reinbach
2016-05-20 04:50:07 +0000 UTCWhat happened to the blanket in the first panel? How come her lower body is suddently exposed? She was covered up in the last page. You just wanted to show off her panties, didn't you? <_< It just looks a little off since she has her hands crossed, doesn't make sence for her to pull the blanket down only to go back to crossing her arms before getting off the bed... hehe Oh, and on a different note, I also imagined switch as male for some reason, go figure.
meiwow
2016-05-20 04:44:42 +0000 UTCDid you intend to make Switch a female since the beginning ? This whole time I pictured a male.
Angelo
2016-05-20 04:36:53 +0000 UTCVery true, I have a feeling she'll find a way to get back at Royce.
Bob Fink
2016-05-20 03:37:09 +0000 UTCWell she's still mad about Royce putting her in her place and Switch isn't helping lol.
Reinbach
2016-05-20 02:58:35 +0000 UTCTrue enough! I actually felt like I could have made her look a bit MORE monstrous, it's not often I get to design something like her and I had to resist the temptation to go nuts lol.
Reinbach
2016-05-20 02:58:06 +0000 UTCWell I hope you stick around long enough to see the answers! :D
Reinbach
2016-05-20 02:56:30 +0000 UTCThis is how Casey views Switch... I'll keep my thoughts and questions to myself.

2016-05-20 02:53:03 +0000 UTCWell, I always figured Switch was female. She just seemed, almost maternal toward Casey in a way. Though given the size of that claw before, I figured Switch was rather inhuman. Not that a normal human has claws, shark teeth, floating chains, and glowing glyph halos.

2016-05-20 02:34:57 +0000 UTCI think it's awesome that we finally get to see Switch in solid form, not that Casey seems too thrilled about the whole thing :-)

2016-05-20 01:59:59 +0000 UTCThat's great I'm glad you're intrigued! :D

2016-05-19 23:52:21 +0000 UTCI know this erotic ART but super interested in where this is going. I thought the switch was just a second personality
