New pages! (Patreon)

Over here! Struggling to read the latest pages? Scroll to the bottom of this post.

If you click on the link from the latest update, you might see some pages from the previous one, that’s because a few lines of dialogue were slightly changed.

(Notice how Tera towers over everyone as he cuts through the crowd on page 8 ^u^ )Sorry, It’s a silent scene (ironically!), no dialogue, so it reads pretty quickly haha.

I was both excited and a bit anxious about drawing a scene set in an underground nightclub. I knew there would be a lot of effects, a crowd to draw, etc., and I was afraid the loud, suffocating atmosphere wouldn’t come across properly, but I’m really happy with how it turned out!

It’s funny how "resting your eyes" a little helps put things into perspective: I used to think these pages lacked contrast (which is something I constantly strive for, contrast is what makes a page pop at first glance, and it’s still a big focus for me, I try my best!), but now I actually really like them! I think there’s a nice balance between black and white.I think I still need to work on the pacing of my scenes, sometimes they feel a bit too fast imo. That’s why I took my time here with Tera entering the nightclub. The fact that we don’t see his face until after the other character notices him adds a more dramatic feel to the scene, and I love that moment!Sometimes I feel like I’m way too insecure about my work, even though I know it’s genuinely appreciated and has even been recognized and rewarded. I could just tell myself, “Trust yourself, Pico, people have shown they love what you do,” but instead, my brain goes: “A lot of people are reading this now and are passionate about it, you can’t let them down” haha. And honestly it’s a pretty good source of motivation and I'll always be thankful for that.

I hope you enjoyed these pages too!Thank you so much for your passion and all your support! ❤❤ ❤ ❤
