Hey all! I've attached a PDF of the comparison between the old and new pages for Chapter 1 part 2. 

Bye bye dramatic voiceover, hello Dork Nick.

The new changes to Charlie's paranoia panel are really effective like damn ?? It was only slight changes but they work !! Also dork nick is the best nick 💞

aliceoseman

Yesssssss i'm glad it's effective!!! That panel really bugged the hell out of me (I remember it taking me AGES first time around) but I think I finally nailed it this time!!

I can't believe Sai didn't have a face before😂😂😂 (page 12) Nick is such a puppy, thank you for giving us Dork Nick🙌🏻👍🏻 I like the top panel on page 14 in redrawn so much! Very atmospheric and daunting. The faces are significantly more expressive, I love love love it! Are you getting rid of the letters for good on page 11. I like it both way but it's a major change imo. What prompted you to change it?

aliceoseman

Wooo thanks so much!! :D Yep, the letters are going for good. A lot of comics have a sort of 'narration'/'inner monologue' from the main character(s), and I started to do this in Heartstopper, but quickly stopped doing it when I realised I much preferred expressing the emotions of the characters through their expression, rather than having them explaining it to the reader :) So i'm getting rid of the very small amount of narration that I did put in, so the comic is more stylistically consistent!

I am fascinated haha. I like that you got rid of the "inner monologue" text. It was nice, but I like the fact that we can understand just the same thanks to your composition and Charlie's expressions... Like those contemplative movies where you understand what's happening inside the characters' mind without even having to hear them say anything. (@ myself: stop, you're not making any sense) I never realized before how older they looked before the redrawing! I mean, your current style makes them look younger than before and I think that's good! They are young after all haha.

aliceoseman

YES i totally get what you mean! That's all part of the fun of drawing a comic :D And YES I know right! Especially Charlie! They're only 14 and 16 at this point so I'm glad they look a little more age accurate now!

I've been wanting to say how much I like Nick and Charlie re-drawn. Not only do they look more like 'themselves' (what we've come to know as themselves), but they also look more their age. And, yeah, Nick's Dork-o-metre is definitely off the charts in the redrawn pages. He seemed more 'your standard popular, good looking, unattainable and potentially aloof athlete' kind of boy before.

I love the loss of narration. It doesn't need it. Also, that little 'peek' at the end of the second page is to die for!

And Sai! I don't know if this IS his personality, but I wanted to tell you how much I love his 'doesn't take bullshit from anyone' expression that he always seems to be wearing. It also looks like 'I couldn't really care that we're having an earthquake/that I'm strolling through the middle of a hurricane/that the world is falling down around me right now'. Totally unperturbed!

Lastly, redrawn-Charlie, how did you get so cute?! Total Cutehead.

aliceoseman

Yes I agree on all counts!! They both have much more personality now and seem much more like themselves, AND look more age accurate!

aliceoseman

That is DEFINITELY Sai's personality! I love drawing him and couldn't resist slotting him into these early pages :D

I really like NaeK's idea! Comics about Tao's and Sai's adventures. Maybe the next patreon goal after 500$ can be secondary characters centered comic?? Like two pages of Tao, two pages of Sai, two page of Tara and her gf (is her name Tara??? My brain refuses to help)... idk I'm procrastinating at work and coming up with ideas.😅

aliceoseman

Ooooooh INTERESTING IDEAS! We'll have to discuss if/when we reach $500... I am definitely up for drawing more Tara and her gf!!! :D

HMM.. I feel like I saw it with that "he was everywhere" internal monologue... but I'm unsure... either way I love seeing there comparisons! I love how Nick's smirk went "definitely sexy, maybe kind of cruel?" to "definitely sexy, also kind of goofy and fun!"
