Comic #705: Weigh in the Balance (Patreon)

I was having a tough time figuring out how to visualize what was going on in his head. I wanted to depict some kind of inner battle where he was pitting his completionism against his self respect (which would inevitable lose). I initially thought of a battle, or tug-of-war.

Then the idea of a scale came to me, which I thought was more clear, and most importantly, easier to draw. Plus it gave me something to easily label. Had I done a battle or tug-of-war, I probably would have had to label someone's shirt, or something.

The only reason I used the dusk/night background was to ensure the text at the top of the final panel would show up.
