Hello everyone! Josh and I worked hard on the coloring and I am happy to finally show the third post of Sithrah! Yay. I just want to thank you all for your amazing support again on Patreon. These pages are so time intensive (as you might guess) and it really helps motivate me to get them finished knowing that so many are behind me and this project. I hope you enjoy this update. Also, I'm experimenting with the text and I'm more than happy to hear your opinions on what works and what doesn't. Also if you see any spelling problems then please point them out too. I'm not embarrassed. :) For patrons of the $5 and $10 level, I plan on doing a video call one of these nights (if I can build up the courage) and it will be at 9PM (PST) on a weekday night. (to be determined) I'll try to announce it a few days before it happens. That's it for now. See you soon!

Don't think this had been mentioned anywhere, can't find any, if it has feel free to ignore this. On the 6th panel (the third page?), the medium long shot of the cat and Vonna. The...cat (Victuals, the time lord? Haha.) he's wearing a collar around his neck and not in the next shot, or anywhere else.

Haha! That's funny that you caught that. Thanks William! See this is what happens when you work on a project randomly and in different locations with different supplies each time. Now to decide if I should keep him with a collar or not for the rest of the story. :) Thanks again for pointing this out. It seems like a no brainer but I totally missed it.

I don't know that have an issue with the narrative "hanging off the end of the dialogue" but I do tend to agree with the idea that "having the narrative and some of the dialogue in the same font looks... weird." Good point, James. The movement of the story so far feels great, btw.

Tom Dell'Aringa

I'll say the narrative and the dialog do tend to run together a bit in a few places. I agree it might be nice for them to be differentiated somehow. I do wonder about the typeface you chose. It's very different from a traditional comic face, of course. It reads a lot like Times New Roman (or similar) and at least for me, it's kind of an odd feeling. As a designer, I DO kind of feel that it fits. As a comic artists, I wonder what some other typefaces might look like. I imagine you've done experimentation already - anything you can share? Already her story feels adventurous and flighty, but the typeface doesn't reflect that. Maybe that's a conscious choice. Just something I noticed.

The font is Garamond which I'm sure you knwo is a good font for books. What I'm trying to do is create a book that can slip back and forth from text to comics without the reader focusing on it. In future pages I will have more blocks of text for specific scenes or conversations. What I'm planning to do is trace over Garamond by hand to give it a more comic/organic feel so it looks like a typeface from a book but is obviously hand drawn. We will see how it works when I finally do it. haha Thanks for your feedback Tom!

"...a book that can slip back and forth from text to comics without the reader focusing on it. " Love that idea.

How would it work to have normal Garamond for the narration and hand-traced 'Garamond' for the speech bubbles? Sort of same but different.
