Comic #783: Be Right Back (Patreon)

This one has been sitting in my list of ideas for a while. I could have easily done this one months ago, but it felt more relevant now after a major patch. Plus I had already drawn the Faerie in #780. After drawing the faeries twice I feel like there is a seething psychotic rage under their placid optimistic exterior. Make that another idea to explore in the future.

I have made similar second panels for a few comics now. It seems to be a running theme of Nyte being surprised by creepy little people, usually Narya, like in #707. It makes me laugh every time. I can't specifically remember the first time I did it in a comic, but it was probably an homage to this scene from the American office:

I did not draw that portal completely from scratch. I spruced up one of my previously drawn portals. Specifically, the one from #650. If you look closely you can see the similarities. I changed the background image for it and added some light rays.
