Switch Page 79 (Patreon)

You know in retrospect, it's a damn miracle I never once, as far as I know, ever slipped and described Switch as a "she" by accident when typing in comments to my pages.  Thankfully the cat's out of the bag now so I don't have to worry about my own absent-mindedness blowing it for anyone lol.

So we finally see a bit more of how Switch looks through Casey's eyes! I confess that I fussed over and reworked this page more than any other two pages put together so far.  At first I rendered Switch entirely in the same glowing scribbles she talks with, as I did when I showed her hand during the shower scene in chapter 4. But in the end I decided that the effect looked, well, lazy.  So that's why Switch is much more solid now than last we saw her.  I also decided that when she's in solid form talking to Casey she needs normal text when she talks, as the scratchy letters need to be bigger to be legible. This works fine normally, but when she's speaking more than sentence or two at a time those letters simply take up too much space. From a storytelling perspective I imagine it as a matter of how focused on Switch Casey is. Switch is often interrupting her when she's focused on someone else, so Casey doesn't see or hear her as well. But things get sharper when it's just the two of them.

I'm posting this early today because I have some errands that will be dragging me away from my desk tonight around the time I normally post. Hope everyone's having a great evening and thanks as always for following my comic! :D
