Outfit and make up design for the opening scene. I just need to figure out the designs of two more characters and then I'll get started on putting out new pages of the revamp. Been working on the script a lot and figuring out how the comic is going to look and what style would be most sustainable. I'm thinking about how can I express the most pathos in a page without getting bogged down with details, since that's what led to me burning out in the first place. I want to actually make significant progress this time with moving the story, so I want to return to a looser style.

That dress is definitely Ellie! It's gorgeous

Looks great!, is the school uniform? I got one other question. Are you putting earrings on Ellie? If so, may I suggest a type of stud so it doesn’t take away from her makeup. Otherwise she looks good and cute. Very sweet. I can still see why Grave would be intrigued by her. And what do you mean by pathos? Just for clarification, is that the background and details? You mentioned a looser style and I didn’t know what that meant. 🥰

It would almost funny if this is her work uniform at like a quasi maid Cafe.

Sorry for the late response, I just saw this. It's not her uniform, it's just one of many outfits she wears during meetings at the academy where the students and professors discuss their ideas and challenge each other. It's a fun and creative way to encourage pseudonymity instead of a cult of personality where the ideas are at the forefront and not the person representing it. The students and professors do have a uniform. The women wear classic dresses with cute capes that are shorter in the summer and longer in the winter. The men also have capes over a blouse and crisp trousers. By pathos, I mean human feeling. Like every artwork, even created under the pressure of a soulless corporation, has pathos. Many different artists can replicate the same work as closely as possible and there will always be a little bit of something unique to that person infused in the art work because no two people are identical. When I say "looser style", I meant I wouldn't obsess over perfect lines or details. As long as the images serves the story well and has plenty of pathos, or feeling, to me that's more important because I think trying to connect with the audience and make art that really resonates with people is more important than over polished images.

Ahhh that makes sense. Pathos. I know what that means now that you mentioned it, but I was so overthinking it, it went totally over my head. But yea, the feeling the artist is trying to portray. The feeling you get when ingesting art. Ok got it. That’s what’s up. Oh and thanks for that juicy bit of NSFW. 💕
