Getting Back to Manga Work!!
Added 2024-07-15 07:00:11 +0000 UTCHi, everyone!!!
The work on new pages is slowly being resumed; at the time of writing this, the first 17 pages of chapter 16 are already sketched out, and we'd like to upload the first batch approximately next week! Volume 4 already starts off amazing and I'm so excited to show you the first pages!
In the meantime, I would like to show you two potential cover illustrations for Volume 4. Now that our main groups are literally covered, it's time to play around with other constellations for the cover illustrations. I usually choose the characters, that will interact the most with each other/or should have the most important focus. But for this one, I am a bit torn to choose. Regarding our plans, Hazuki and Rory will have a lot of interactions. However, Hazuki already was featured on the cover of Vol 3 and I have the feeling it would be odd to repeat characters back to back. (Concerning Hazuki's portrait will be on the book's spine and his grumpy look will be directed to Forte if placed next to Vol 3... Although concerning some events addressed in chapter 16 this miiight also fit somehow...?? Nah this is a stretch...)
Does this sound weird??? XDD Am I overthinking again??? @u@
Anyway, this was the reason I sketched the alternative version with Inoru and Mono. They are a very aesthetic pair and, of course, they too will have some scenes together in Vol 4 (though not as many as Rory and Hazuki).
What do you think? Are you fine with repeating characters, or do you prefer the other one?
Keep in mind, both drafts WILL become cover illustrations eventually, it's just a question of for which volume XD
That's all from me for now!! Have a nice day!! ♥♥
