"Earthbending let's me sense everything around me. That's a double-edged sword. Yeah, being able to sense ants that no one else can see is pretty neat, but sometimes you see things you'd rather not."

...

"that's so disgusting. I'm never having kids."

Alright, so, gotta talk about this redo. In page 4, a local waterbender tells Toph she can't get pregnant and her reaction is "Fantastic!" Page 5 is supposed to explain why. When I posted the inked version of Page 5 I said that it was my least favorite page. Hopefully you can see why.

The original page was too complex. As a reader, I value clarity. I value when I can look at a page and an idea is communicated clearly. I'm not absolutely perfect at that kind of thing, but page 5 was way below my standard for clarity.

Judge for yourself. Is the idea that Toph sensed a birth and it grossed her out communicated? Because that's what the idea was for page 5 from the beginning.

Speaking of clarity, the pregnant lady that Toph senses will be grey scale/silhouetted like seismic sense usually is, so her look could be adjusted later.

All in all, I am MUCH happier with this page. Let me know what you think.

Tomorrow I am going to add one more new page, and then after that make some more page adjustments. See you then.
