Ruby's Workout Page 22

page 22 done :D Sorry about the wait on this one. After having some time pass on the sketch of it, i was incredibly disgusted on how it looked honestly, notably the first panel for sure so i tried to do what i can to redraw the entirety of it. I also remembered a few of you made some suggestions on panel layouts and made some great points from previous pages so i tried to re-implement panels in the foreground again and emphasizing the border/margin of the page. The xray of this page is something i was definitely happy with on how it resulted because i'm actually taking the time to draw the internals for once x) i feel i definitely should be doing that more often. the time investment really does take a lot but i personally enjoy the outcome of it and hope you guys do as well.

The only thing i'm not enjoying is something i've yammered on about which is how annoying it is to create a new page, pose, or angle without showing their heads or an establishment to the environment. i mean yea i get it that its my fault and backgrounds would make this more time consuming but it feels like i'm playing "pretend" when i make something like the third panel. On note of the third panel, i like how i was able to show more full body shots, but i don't like how the guy is laying on some sort of imaginary bench. I know some of you may probably suggest on "just draw a bench" but it's a matter of consistency and it'd be really jarring just having random ass furniture appearing out of nowhere after establishing that there is essentially nothing around them for 22 pages. sorry for being annoying about this, i know i won't shut up about it but i can't help it after making this many pages of this comic and having to come up with something that can favor "interest" or "new" to each one.

On the optimistic side however, this comic as a whole has been an entire challenge which has helped me in the long run when creating new works and ideas! having to research on how paneling is done, speech and dialogue is layed out, how to make something seem more intense than it is, etc. it's really helped me grow as an artist. even after all the annoyances if said previously, it's still awesome to make this due to the results and knowledge gained through it all. hopefully i can make a satisfying ending for this. hope you all like!
