Page preview

Hey all! Just a quick update, you will get two pages this week as usual, but I'm running a day behind because of the tapas early access planning! Here's a small teaser :).

Thanks for all your patience during my week off! I had a great time (minus a lengthy battle against household mould ¬_¬) and I'm very excited to get back on the wagon.

I feel like it could maybe do with a panel next to 'make up your mind' since there's no visual for that emotion, but I'm gonna sit on it for a while and see :P


[you can also see the sketch has the wrong script- thank u to haridraws for helping me so much with it lmao, I'm very very bad at scripting scenes I want to be subtle- I always go overboard and it becomes obscure.]

I had a lot of help from a friend trying to get this dialogue right :p, every time gender comes up I go into full overthinking mode and spend hours on like 5 bubbles

I felt like the third panel needed more figures- it looked like a drastic time skip at first haha

sometimes i feel like i skipped the part of colour theory where there's logic behind the choices. I currently put together colours just on...feelings? I dont know Why I'm doing it, and I'm lucky it usually works!

What are you supposed to do in this kind of situation :S?

ALSO- a tiny announcement, I'm sadly not going to be doing polls anymore- obviously they were on hold the last two months while I was busy, but I'm realising I just don't have the energy :'O. Each month I was running so low on ideas and they never came out as well as the things I was passionate about! I hope you can understand <3

its extremely strange drawing kissing and having to actually tone down the emotional intensity instead of amping it up. It feels so still and strange to me, but also I don't want this one to come across as a romantic moment, or even really a passionate one. It should make the readers uncomfortable ;P (sorry)

Enjoying messing with the colours to give a certain feeling here.

Page edits- batch 1

I should have 3 batches of edits, thankfully the next ones are a lot smaller!

I don't think it's necessarily a huge improvement- but they've been bothering me for years and it's nice to finally have alternate ideas. At the time it felt very hard to think of other ways to get stuff across, I'm glad I seem to have improved! 

The Jerry scene- she felt too mean! And also it came across as though she already knew Julien well-  his lack of close friends- and she wouldn't actua...

oho?


Also I *might* spend a little time making minor edits to the first couple of chapters (mostly text), I can't share what's going on but the comic might get more eyes on it, and I'm quite embarrassed by a few parts of it, and I've been putting it off! I'll share edits here :)

October artwork process

Not much to show for myself, and we're already halfway through the month, oops! I really did want to do a piece a day, but the timing was terrible, being just after a big project crunch!

I've been filling in my sketchbook and working on other things, so there's still plenty to share, but not nearly as many process-worthy things as I'd have liked ;P. Maybe I'll get a few more done before the end!
