Monochrome

And we’re back! Whoof! Reminder, we’re picking up from here

Thank you for your patience with me. So here are where things are at: I still feel kind of overwhelmed, so I’m going to do my best, but please forgive me if this is a bit of a shaky start. I am, however, not super sick anymore and don’t have a personal life crisis going so I’m holding out the hope things are going to be okay.

Lauren is angling to be able to get back to coloring soon, too! Hooray! haha nope this is probably actually not true, my bad

During my break, I took the time to look into some resources for better comic making and determined that my current lettering super duper sucks! I have only begun to learn how amateurish it is and how to fix it, but in a handful of pages, you might notice a major format difference (that’s where I began to at least try to make my pages the right size) and eventually, you will notice a difference in fonts (I want to pick up some professionally made fonts, but the main ones I want for the bulk of dialog cost money, even for an indie comic artist, and therefore it’s gonna be a handful of pages before I am able to do that). Hopefully you start notice more care in where I put lettering, especially bubbles, too (part of that is finding a better-shaped bubble for my needs. Clip Paint Studio always had this shape, I just, um, didn’t notice it because I would have to scroll in the menu and I didn’t realize there was a scroll /facepalm) – but this is probably my biggest challenge to learn. The point is, I’m putting in effort to make a better, less difficult to read, more illustrative comic, and I hope to revise old pages, too, but I cannot simultaneously fix old pages (there’s so much fixing to do) and create new pages, so that’ll just have to be a future project.

Anyway, back to the story of why Briar is an actual villain and not just kind of a jerk.
