A remind that next week will be a Q&A, if you have any final questions leave them here, and if they're not spoilery to answer now either Tess or Mira will answer :)

This is the first time while drawing 7DS that I've wished I was doing it page format. Those final three panels would work much better with a proper landscape composition. Alas.

Hi hi! Just wanted to say, really big fan of your work! Thank you so much for what you’ve created, Always Human will always hold a special place in my heart, and so far I’ve really enjoyed 7DS! Excited to see the story unfold, I really enjoy your writing.(and art too of course holy frick it’s stunning) As for a question! I was wondering, how do you choose colors, both for individual scenes and for the comic as a whole?

Thank you so much, I'm so happy you're enjoying it! This is a hard question to answer because I tend to just go with with my instinct for colours and I'm not sure I have anything useful to say in a Q&A right now. I will let this percolate in my brain and maybe one day I'll come up with some sort of tutorial to share, but for now all I have are these disjointed thoughts: - Pink/orange/yellow are pretty lighting colours - Purple and blue are pretty shadow colours - Starting with one or two main colours and going from there makes thinking about colour easier - Multiply, overlay and linear burn layers are great for making colours more cohesive! This tiktok is good: https://www.tiktok.com/@hkism/video/7043977466230312238 - Gigidigi has incredibly good thoughts on colour: https://ggdgart.tumblr.com/post/148561944647/a-collection-of-things-i-wrote-about-color-these - I almost always eyeball colours, rather than using the eyedropper tool, and I think that's helped my brain develop good colour instincts - You can look at these step-by-steps here to see how the colour scheme emerged: https://www.patreon.com/posts/two-background-65239257 And then if you re-read chapter 7 you can see how I changed the colours further when bringing those backgrounds into the comic, and maybe that will be interesting to you?
