It's been a while since I've given updates about this project. I just wanted to let you know it's still going. and I'm still regretting making it with color haha. But I'm trying o achieve a mix between quality and simplicity, I think it's working, at least it's appealig for me, even if it's in general not draw as carefully or as detailed as Derideal itself.

first image is a little meeting in the CIC of the Ascension ship. I might re-make the arrows and exes in the sky, because they're hand made... I' was thinking about just making them in vector and give them a real perspective, then again... I might not.

it's been difficult to keep up with the character's proportions with each other... mice and rabbtis are so small in comparison, and I tend to mess up from time to time. this panel, I think Vex's looking a little too tall. so I got to edit it.

sucks but it's impossible for me to get things right at the first try huh.

some fun drawing character moments, I tried to add a few bits in the story... even if I feel I wrote this to go at max speed.

difficult shots... I actually tried to draw this entire city, then tried to paint it using just shapes..- I ended up drawing a few bits and cloning it haha, then adding other details in between so it doesn't look as the same. but yeah... work work work.

this is something I think would've been easier to make in black and white.

look, cool ship! woah! I actually had to design this again, because all my previous sketches in notebooks looked like shit to me now.

I commited to this since it's now on the page haha... anyway, this is the UAC (I think was called?) helicarrier/ship. the one that patrols the wastelands, which is something that's not really part of the story, but silly discord rpg lore.

you know, I think I'm a little insane as I keep obsessing over "finishing" a comic before updating, I got some trauma about not finishing a story and leave it in hiatus for years or months because I can't work in it.so my "buffer" content is getting higher in this regard.

anyway, I keep working on this, wish me luck!
