[STYLE TRIAL] Summers of Our Past pgs. 1-4 (Patreon)

The first four pages of my new comic. I want to produce more pages faster, because there's a lot of story I want to tell. Because of this, I'm trying out a more pared-down style that is easier to produce regular work with. I hope you guys don't mind that I want to explore this side of myself as a creator.

I think things will definitely change as pieces fall into place. Maybe certain aspects of the art will tighten or slacken as they need to. I feel like maybe I'm trying too hard with certain backgrounds, haha. That's why I consider this first chapter to be something of a trial run.

Another thing I need to be on the lookout for are good neutral fonts for things like chapter titles. I'll definitely be doing some minor edits on this chapter once the overall style of the comic solidifies.

I know it's super lazy of me, but the first page is a homage to the Evangelion manga's opening. I feel like it's an efficient, if expository way to springboard Levi's character, and that manga as a whole influenced my art deeply when I was small. 😅
