Chapter 2 Reboot, Page 17 (Patreon)

I really enjoyed working on this page. No backgrounds was a really nice break, but I was also glad to have the chance to bring the mysterious little munchkin back from Chapter 1. She does have a voice over  at the end of the original intro chapter in the OG version, but I think it was confusing and I always regretted that decision. So here she comes to "Red," who is unconscious from the snake creature strangling her, and because it is happening while Red is unconscious I've made everything dark, etc. Except for the Munchkin, who is glowing of course. This scene is hopefully much more impactful than the original version, and I think it will also strengthen the reader's understanding for Red wanting to... well, do what she will end up doing. No spoilers, in case there are new readers subscribed!

Progress Images:

Thumbnail! I got to reuse art from the original for just one panel, haha.

Lineart and spot blacking!

Silhouettes!

Flats!

Shadows!

Gradation, highlights, added the black border...

Added some effects like the sparkles and the glow, blush, etc.

Added text. Ended up scooting the Munchkin over a bit to the right in the bottom panel to make more room for her dialogue and giggle.
