Textless page: Ch. 7/ Pg. 9 (Patreon)

I've been trying really hard to be better about laying down all dialogue before doing any finished art (to prevent anything important/fun being covered) — but it's still deeply sad to me every time I have to cover up Cameron's legs. 

I think the final panel of this page was truly where I realized I love Cameron and drawing Cameron, he is a delight to me.

Kind of related, but I have this conversation with Ananth occasionally and I wanted to share the thought: as a creator it's important to love your antagonists!! If you don't find the "bad" people in your stories interesting, your readers won't either. It's a personal exercise of mine to find something lovable about every antagonistic character in everything I do; I want to be excited every time each reoccurring character shows up and I have to draw them.In general, I don't want anything in my stories to be "vegetables," nothing should be a slog to get through for the creator or reader. Everything should have at least one thing going on that makes it exciting or sexy or fun or surprising!

This is a personal mantra and of course YMMV, but this is the way I like to think about my work! I hope it comes through to readers!
