Iβm skimming through your old comic and just from the cover alone Iβm blown away by how much your art has progressed. Looking forward to this!
Thank you! And oh god, yeah the improvement over the years has been insane. There is something really joyful about being able to look back at my old artworks nowadays. it's just interesting, to see something I created with so much excitement and joy and then make new art nowadays I feel the same way about but they're so different now. I guess 10 years just does that.
Ooh this looking super mad official! Can't wait to see what's up with jamie
She is the same old Jamie as before!.. Sort of! I kept a lot of the core characters from my first attempt at this comic, and their stories, but they've just grown with me a lot. Which is to say, like, an onion. Layers and all that.
Yesss itβs here! I remember doing some beta reading for your first chapter, super intrigued by what I saw π So excited to see your comic get started!
FINGERGUNS. I was so particular about how I portioned out my beta reading to people to make sure nobody got everything because I wanted to make sure everyone who read it would still have something new to read. Thank you so much for that beta reading, too, I do feel like I'm happy with this final product.
Yeeesss!! I'm so excited!!! God, the way we all pounced over here as soon as we saw it LOL
I love the formatting and playlist and everything, too!! You've worked so hard on this - enjoy the grand opening!! π₯Ή
Thank you I am SO excited! Literally, every week of this process I was just trying to sit on my hands and tell myself the wait would be WORTH it. And god, does it feel so worth it right now.
Your art is stunningly gorgeous!! I love how you've set up and formatted your page here thus far. Will be following and keeping an eye on your updates as they come!
Thank you! It's been fun trying to hunt down a style I felt was both reasonable to make a comic with, but also something I felt I could enjoy for a loooooong time to come. I'm glad to have you tagging along for however long I have you.
First off, can I just say how amazing and impeccable your run layouts are?? Ugh, chef's kiss!!! I'm so jelly!!
The art is gorgeous but honestly, I think that's to be expected of you. You've always had an amazing eye for lighting and shading, so I'm not surprised the first page is just you immediately flexing your prowess on us.
And I found myself trying to press next since I wanted to see more! So I'm excited for moar!
Hey, what can I say, I've spent some time with some people with amazing aesthetic sense over the years. And when it comes to lighting, I actually remember I spent so long in the first draft of my script FOCUSED on the lighting, and the story themes it was going to carry, so I'm a little giddy to hear praise about the lighting. Even if it didn't make it quite to the final draft as I originally scripted (when does it ever), it was a huge consideration.
Overall, thank you all for taking some time to comment and be excited alongside me. No matter what happens at this point, I've got the next year loaded up and ready to post, and I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of it.
See you all in a few days! π
