A little more progress on these. On page 14, I think in the panel with Annie in the villain outfit, her boobs don't look like they are the same size. Her right one needs to be bigger.

This is kind a soft ending as the end of the (12-page) chapter, but the story will continue into the next chapter.
In the last panel, there are two identical versions of Doctor Mae.

I figure she's trying to make sure she doesn't forget someone else's order.

I don't have dialog yet for page 14. The computer doesn't believe them and decides to self-destruct. It says something more complex to Lucy about it's reasoning, then it says to Annie "You do no compute."

Unless there's a mistake somewhere, the thing un-drawn is the upper left panel.
But I'm not sure if I should just have silhouettes for the heroes other than Tabitha, or try to include people, and if so, who? The Silver Dragon is an option, maybe Charlotte? But then who are the other two?
Thunderpunch is probably too big to include, and the only other heroes they've worked with are Arim and Evilyn. But Arim without Mira? Charlotte's ally is Warp, but I think...

Tifa won the poll on Twitter, this is what I'm considering making. I'm not sure if more of a pinup would be desired. This is more of a slice of life kind of picture.

This isn't the next page, this is the page after the next page.
I figure they are underwater in panel 2.
I think Lucy must still be in the villain outfit, but I'll have to consider her cape, or have her without it.

Technically one more page to the chapter, but the story really isn't over. So I have to have kind of a half-end. Like a light resolution and then continue with the same events in the next chapter.
400th page probably won't have Annie on it based on my current plans. She probably will appear in the next chapter, just not for pages. I've got five narratives to include soon, one is the continuation of this and Charlotte readjusting- one is Annie rebuilding her drone...
2020-09-17 20:32:20 +0000 UTC View PostI've been starting to plan out the conclusion. I think it's kind of three parts- the setup and their time on the beach, then why they were really there, then the conclusion.
Instead of this whole comic taking around 12 pages like I expected, I think it'll take 20 pages (meaning 7 more pages). But that kind of thing usually happens. It always takes more space to show something than you expect.
If you want a spoiler, this is what I have in mind based on my current ...
2020-09-16 08:09:32 +0000 UTC View PostI'm really curious. I've always felt like I had different kinds of fans, and I'm not sure which or what thing the people here might want.
Do you want comics, or instead to focus more on pinups? Do you want more or less fan art? What am I doing that you like, or not doing that are unhappy about?
2020-09-16 01:24:12 +0000 UTC View PostI'm planning to add some commission tiers here. I haven't exactly decided which items to offer, but they might be limited to a few options at first, and only a few slots.
BUT, one thing to bring up before that is that I'll have to adjust the Patreon first to have people pay upfront. I don't know exactly how that'll impact everyone. I'm assuming that Patreon has some smart way of managing it?
I also need to change the splash image to something more universal than ...

I haven't completely decided how often or where I should try to add highlights or shines to things. I might end up going back to some of these pages and adjusting that.

I need to make Grace look more out of control in panel 3. I figure Grace's abilities are just second-nature to her, and she's trying to instinctively trying to save herself the way that seems natural.
She's probably trying to ghost herself into something that would break her fall, or maybe there's a way for her to slow herself down.

Okay, page 11. Pages 12 and 13 should be a little simple.

Making some more progress. I had to have her shirt rip a lot because that cover for the old comic was just for the first chapter it. In it, Annie grew in stages, and only grew a modest amount.
The cover was meant to depict her growth, and if in the current Pulse, Annie grew all at once, she'd have to realistically -destroy- the shirt. There's no way the shirt would have that much give.

Finished. One of the hardest parts was trying to choose the right colors.

This month is the 10th anniversary of the current version of Pulse. But when I started it, it was a remake of my original webcomic Pulse on that comic's 10th anniversary. So it's technically the 20th anniversary of Pulse.
The old comic had a cover for the first chapter that I never completed at the time. So maybe I should redraw it, but now with references to the current version of Pulse instead of the older original one.
I changed some things. Putting the ...

I had several ways to go with this. In one option they'd either spend the rest of the chapter on the beach with Grace moving only small amounts. Another is they'd end up in some far away city and decide that was good enough and spend the rest of the day there.
But the point of this chapter was not just to be about Grace, Warp and Charlotte-- but also to include the other ex-sleepwalkers. They have to interact with at least Zoe.
This is also a webcomic, and I shou...

Hmm, forgot to push over the gutter in the first panel compared to the previous WIP.

I figured that Charlotte and Katie would put on their full costumes as much as possible before they tried to leave. They might even have some kind of mask on Grace maybe?
At the end, Grace is scared because she doesn't know the powers of the other two. Charlotte can clearly fly if she has an eagle form, and Warp's powers is telekinesis- probably allowing her to float or fly.

Some of these panels just need color and the shadows cleaned up.

Kinda rough pages, hopefully it's easy enough for someone other than me to understand.
On page 12, the second panel will have dialog, but I don't know what yet. I wanted a couple of panels of them out of view talking about changing.
This is taking more pages than I originally expected to complete, although pages 12 & 13 should be faster to complete than normal.
I have two or three different options for how this continues, but we're getting to the conclusion point i...

Trying to post more WIPs here. Someone suggested Ahsoka and Hera from Rebels in Leia's slave outfit. I thought I could make it a little more funny by adding Chopper.
There's a lot of detail work left. Getting their faces right, both have complex non-standard heads with patterns on them. I have to look up some better reference for the slave bikini outfit too.
Is this what you'd expect me to draw here? I always wonder if people are expecting me to draw ...

I probably could have gone a little smaller maybe, but not that much. She has to still be decent.
Not sure if I think the arm looks awkward or not. I almost lowered the arm just in case, but kept it to go along with my original idea.

As requested, Annie in that meme jacket. Not quite sure what to do with her top, so I just gave her one. If I wanted her to be wearing nothing over the waist than the jacket, she's too big for anything else but a hand bra, and I had draw that recently almost.

Part of me wants to keep Grace's powers super-strong, but then she'd have to learn how to dial them back hundreds or thousands of times her new average for them to be useful in her everyday life.
To go to the next room, she'd have to go a little more than a mile away and then a mile back.

For the suggestion of Annie in a "micro-bikini". This is the joke option, there will be a more pinup-y version too.
2020-09-02 19:45:04 +0000 UTC View PostThere's some new Patreons recently, so I thought I should get some insight into people's interests here. Is there anything you'd want to suggest for me to draw?
I don't know if there will be one common suggestion, or if there should be a poll about it.

Charlotte tells Grace that she needs to retrain herself to travel as little as possible as she's using her powers.
