Week 89! (Patreon)

This panel comes from 086 - Sanguine, during the fifth arc again, this time in the midst of the sketchy mindscape stuff, back when Mask/Fox Kale apparently talked in a really pretentious manner. Requested by nobody in particular, who is a very active participant in panel redraw requests it seems.

Obviously by looking at this, you'll probably recall that a lot of that initial inside-of-Kale's-head stuff was done in this very sketchy style. Inspiration for that, and inspiration for Mask's initial premise, were I believe from some random Flash animation I saw as a pre-teen in the early days of Newground.com? I specifically wanted to try redrawing it since... I dunno, the style of the original comics doesn't look very good. Heck I'm not entirely sure this redraw looks very good even. I think it has to do with the way the shading is, if I redid the arc ever (which I probably wouldn't, I wouldn't remake FH again for a third time) I would probably pick normal cross-hatching or something.

I probably already talked about this somewhere, but both Kale and Fox Kale are "fencers" here, with Kale using your traditional Italian/French school of  using-a-saber kind of fencing and Fox Kale using the German school of using-a-two-handed-longsword kind of fencing. Fox Kale's obviously pulled out his stupidly-long compensating-for-something greatsword pretty often in the run of the comic, but Kale hasn't had to pull out his little saber since this arc. It'll come up again eventually, though.

Also, side-note, looking at the original panel from the previous update and the original panel from this update, man, I think I improved quite a bit in the span of like 5 or 6 months, comparatively.
