New Pages!

It's over here!

I'm feeling stressed-
Probably because I'm deep in that last-minute rush. I don't know how you imagine my process, but just so you know I’m tweaking pages right up until the very last moment, haha. I was still working on them just 15 minutes ago.

GOD, action scenes are incredibly challenging. It’s been a while since I’ve done fight sequences, and I’d honestly forgotten how hard it is to manage the pacing and dynamism, breaking down fast, sharp movements into clear panels.
I struggled during the storyboarding stage and had to redo some panels multiple times even when they were done before I felt okay about them. It’s still not perfect in my eyes, but there’s another action-heavy update coming, so I’m hoping to do even better next time!

You know what? In the original storyboard for the previous pages, Tera was supposed to shoot the guard in the head right at the door. I ended up changing that, because I keep questioning whether or not Tera should kill in each scene. Not for me or him, but for you lol. And now… I kinda regret it!
The doubt comes from the fact that Tera is meant to be evolving as a character, and it's easier for the reader to simply think, "Look, he's not killing anymore."
But if I dig into his psychology a bit more: well, with the father (pizza guy), there were specific signs that led Tera to spare him.
But his growth also shows in other ways: he’s disgusted by his environment.
When he enters that underground nightclub, he doesn't respect anyone there. He sees them all (people from his own world, people who fear the Black Death) as scum with no value. I mean he can't blame himself for all the bad things he has done and be okay with all of the others like him-

But it’s up to me to make that clearer. I’ll give him a few lines of dialogue to express it more directly!

I also promised a little extra today - I did make one (a quick doodle), but I’m not really happy with it. I’d rather take the rest of the day to fix it up and post it tomorrow. Hope that’s okay with you all!

As always, thank you so much for being so supportive and lovely with me and the comics. I'm genuinely so grateful ❤

PS: Oh, and of course, on your recommendation, I watched Kpop Demon Hunters!!!
It was super fun and entertaining! The art direction and the visual treatment of the scenes are beautifully done. Characters are funny and endearing, and honestly, I’ve been looping the movie's soundtrack non-stop for the past week, haha.

I only have one complaint: the film doesn’t take its time!! The pacing is really fast, and it feels like some plotlines and stakes get a bit glossed over. I would’ve loved for certain scenes to stretch out a little more, just so we could really savor them!
