I made the blood pink while in the Atra’novalis… This isn’t for any censorship reason, I just wanted to have fun with the colors more.

For the life of me, I can’t remember why I mirrored those first two panels. Might have been an attempt to keep left/right consistency again, but who knows.

I tried to fix the foreshortening of Remi’s arm, but I think I just ended up making it wrong in new and different ways instead.

I mirrored a bunch of panels to keep some consistency over which side the injury was and which hand had blood on it. Looking back, I don’t know what kind of person just offers the blood-covered hand to someone… At least wipe it on your pants first, come on! Finally we get to see Thanatos… Continue reading Chapter 1.2: Interlude ~Respite~ 045

Continuing on with more questionable story decisions that I find bewildering in retrospect – who just sits down on the sofa with a bleeding wound on their shoulder? Why wouldn’t you go to the bathroom to clean it up before hand? And ripping your clothes for a bandage? Gross and unsanitary. Surely Remi has a… Continue reading Chapter 1.2: Interlude ~Respite~ 049

In the early days of internet webcomics, I feel like getting to page 50 and other such numbers might be worth a celebration or omake illustration. Sometimes, I miss those days… There was a level of sincerity and lack of self-awareness that I don’t think a lot of webcomics, or really even people, have anymore.… Continue reading Chapter 1.2: Interlude ~Respite~ 050
