✨ Episode #44 ~ The dark dragon || Behind-Scenes ✍️ (Patreon)

Hey there, my stars!✨

Another behind scenes to add to this collection, one of my favorites and hard to do!~ This way, over time, I can look back and remember the journey—the effort, the early stages, the corrections, and the before-and-after comparisons, as well as references and mood boards!~ All of this has been made possible thanks to the hard work of my assistants. ✨

⬆️Up are some process shots of a few panels and WIPs!

⬇️ Below I’m sharing my favorite panels along with their original storyboard sketches and the final version~ ✨

I love the interaction in this panel, especially the contrast between darkness and purity—something pure slowly being corrupted. The way Kalisa’s braid is being undone, symbolizing the darkness taking control, adds such a powerful layer of meaning. I absolutely loved that detail.😫❤️

Drawing a full-body shot in a webcomic is always a challenge, but I felt proud of this one—I think I kept the proportions well balanced. Plus, I can easily imagine this scene with a dramatic, epic soundtrack filled with emotion. Seeing my beloved character embrace this dark power is both striking and deeply moving, filling me with admiration for her.❤️

I loved the composition here—the light, the wings, that perfect contrast between the purity that still remains before the darkness fully takes over. And right in front of everyone!🙈

I loved the emotional weight of this scene and how beautifully dark it looks. I don't know how I organize all those lines from the sketch to this.✨

I loved switching to a different palette, blending warm and cool tones. Seeing Aeron in these colors made me enjoy this panel even more. Plus, I got to draw wounds on him—which I love for the added drama.🥰❤️😭

I loved drawing this because these are the very same eyes that once lurked in the shadows, watching Kalisa in distant chapters—belonging to that same dark presence. Now, they shine vividly and intensely, a striking symbol that the darkness has fully awakened.🙌✨

And here is how everything looks finished! I love seeing the strips together for the chapter because I can see how all the work and the magic in general is completed!✨✨✨✍️🥹
