Chapter 5 - Knot on Top 13-16 (Pencils Done) (Patreon)
Content
I kept working on the pencils! Feeling really happy with the updates and changes. Let me know what you all think =D
Really changed up how I wanted to do the last page. I wanted to add in a kiss and a hero panel. While I loved the slowly pulling-out-camera, that showed the same side-ways angle over 3 panels, I just felt like it was visually boring, and only serving the final reveal (that Nick's awake). With the updates, now the page is filled with fun stuff, and the focus is on Judy and Owen, with the reveal still nice and clear on the final page.really feeling proud of a lot of the faces I got drawn up this time around. Might still tweak the 2nd page, 2nd panel Judy face - that angle is just SO hard to pull off, and might need to be redrawn again (for like the 10th time =/), I'll see how it washes out when I ink it.After some chat and thought from the monthly vote and higher-tier backers (thank you fam!) - I think the text is going to be a little more 'in the moment' and not as aggressive as I had made it earlier (with Owen asking Judy to spend the weekend at his), it just wasn't meshing with the whole 'this is their first-time' vibe. Also wanted to get a word balloon in there where Owen checks in for some consent to keep going!
Onward and upward. Time to get inking Amadose =D

Higher tiers are always invited to send me questions (in private or as a comment) for the in-between-chapter QnA's! But I'm always game to answer questions for any tier outside of the QnA too.
