Chapter 7.23

Another page that I finished right before surgery. This one I chose to go very light with backgrounds, and I promise it wasn't out of laziness, hah. Enjoy!

kayartics post Chapter 7.22 from patreon

Hi there! I'm still on medical leave, but I happened to have a couple pages that I made right before I went into surgery! I had intended to post them before, but it ended up getting pushed aside as I got everything ready, but NOW you can enjoy a few early access pages over the next few days.About this page: I had a lot of fun blocking out the angles and dialogue on this one. I ended up with 11 whole panels on this page! Absolutely bonkers. This is probably one of my densest pages yet.

Trying to get the scene to transition smoothly into the next color story was a little tricky, especially since the archive is a basement room with artificial lighting. I tend to go for warm colors for interior spaces like this. I started to add more solid blacks in the inking process around here. I want to try and get more solids in, since I really like it when other comic artists use it.

Hello patrons! For some reason, this page didn't go up! I had it scheduled for December 1st, but it didn't post, so unfortunately it skipped a week. Sorry about that.This page is already live on the site, and should be before the one that was posted a few days ago.

Chapter 7.20

I may have mentioned this in one of the previous pages, but I'll be taking some time at the end of the year for medical leave! It'll all be good and for health improvement overall, but that does mean I won't be making comic pages for a while.I've been trying to get pages done in the meantime to give myself a nice long break without having to worry about working. I've got pages made for the public all the way into February, but for patrons $5 and up, it might be a bit spotty s...

Chapter 7.19

This was a fun page to make. :) A very different experiment on this page versus most of the rest of the comic. It took me a while to figure out how to color it, but I think it ended up working alright in the end.The lines are done with ballpoint pen.

everything is probably fine, probably.

I'm not sure there's anything super unusual about these pages, but i was trying to use a lot more spot blacks in the inking phase. The focus here is on mood with the color story. I was trying to get the storm to feel appropriately foreboding.

Chapter 7.18

This one took a while to figure out how to do. I had to work on this one in tandem with the next page, because of the transition. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to approach it from a coloring side, which ended up being really different than how I normally do it.Once I figured out the next page's pallet, I was able to use that to create the color story for this page. I used the middle panel to transition into it, and there's a gradient on the page as it moves into the next scene.

Chapter 7 Pencils: Pages 18-30

A few months ago I shared the first batch of pencils for this chapter, so I thought I'd share the second batch. The big thing to note here is that this is technically spoilers for what's to come, so if you want to wait until the pages are complete, don't look through them yet!I'll be having surgery at the end of December (don't worry, I'm not sick, the surgery is more of a life improvement thing), so I'm actually very glad I worked so far ahead with the pencils. It&#3...

Chapter 7 PSD files! The cover was really fun to do, and felt pretty straightforward once I started coloring it. It took a while to get drawn out (especially the grass), but ultimately the coloring wasn't too difficult?Page 1 was a little difficult to find the right balance of sickly green for the sky. Page 2, on the other hand, went back to my old favorite of warm colors, but I tried to bring in some of the green in the shadows to keep the threat of the storm around.Also, watch out: those P...

Finally, we get some names to the symbols stated in the comic.What's funny to me is I've had most of these symbols on a little cheat sheet for a while now, ready to go whenever I need them, but I think the only one that I've used of these four is 'binding' in chapter 2.
