Victoria: Check it out! Page 14 (Patreon)

Automation is a very interesting facet of technology, and Victoria is seeing firsthand some of the finer points of the subject. Even better, she gets to see it from the perspective of an order about to be shipped. Sadly, she may not be making the most of this opportunity, preoccupied as she is with her current condition both in terms of attire and hanging in the air by the tattered remnants of a blouse sleeve. Still, after some prompting from her helpful producer Jay, she's able to keep the interview on track, asking pertinent questions to enlighten the audience and bring the subject matter to life.

I had to draw a lot of mechanical stuff on this page, and try to make that mechanical stuff look threatening, so that Victoria's fear at being dropped would be justified. I think I was starting to catch onto the "character layer blocks all the hard work I did on the background layer" problem I'd been having with past pages. I remember moving that gear you see just to the right of Victoria over because it was right behind her. Slow progress is still progress, I say!
