Making a solid sketch and adding test colors reveal some of the things I might need to change. But at least I feel like I can make it look somewhat better than I could in May...
Now with Claret banner ending, there is not that much hype going forward right now.
Still, it was 4 near back to back bangers, so I am pretty happy.
Time to see what awaits in second half and whether Sunbringer can redeem herself and be interesting for more than just Lindverne.
@animetrends Japan success was on top of their technological dominance in early 90s, and young amazing talents. Sure that having only quarter of workforce is part of it, but just look at their fossilized corps and how many IPs have over 10 installments.
I played a bit with the idea of the grass being greener somewhere else, but it just isn't it. I'll keep doing what I really love.
Still I hate those sleeves, why did they have to redesign them ๐
Played around few things, not really an improvement at all, but a learning experience of dos and don'ts.
Figured out might as well share it, in case someone likes it better than the previous.
@AnasSilverhand@Yidhari_Timely Why? Because Mayor clearly pursues this agenda too. Whether you agree or not that he is the voice heard from UCC, he still does a lot more, and both Rina and Lycaon are explicitly stating that they are searching for Sacrifices too. ( sorry for bad ordering in stitch )
@AnasSilverhand@Yidhari_Timely I disagree with 101%, I think Isolde is unlikely.
First there is that weird part how technical that talk is, she calls Isolde "My lord" on every other occasion, but here she doesn't even say the Exaltist part on the phone, but only for herself.
I think it's corpo or Mayor.
@AnasSilverhand@Yidhari_Timely I am talking about Isolde, and Moss did join when she still was in the lead. There is no silver lining for people that Isolde used up.
For Moss, it's a speculation, but Sarah spends her time reverting some of the Ethereals, so maybe if he didn't run off, he would really be saved
@AnasSilverhand@Yidhari_Timely Also I don't think that it was ever supposed to work from shadows. Sarah pulls out what she calls experimental anesthetic, something that's clearly rare and mission critical. If she had such a thing, capturing Perlman amid the created chaos was certainly always part of the plan.
@AnasSilverhand@Yidhari_Timely I still think it's more likely that Sacrifice was just a part of their agenda. And that the goal of threatening the residents was to polish Bringer as a hero in front of the elections. He is there just in time and with Belobog getting chopper ride from police too.
@AnasSilverhand@Yidhari_Timely I'll be the annoying one, but I don't think there is any proof of Isolde having anything to do with S1.
She has all the Landon's orbiters, and Bringer's notebook was shopping list of Sacrifice remnants, so why would they risk so much for a random older one?
@AnasSilverhand@Yidhari_Timely To me her using the cult is an evil that many people overlook.
She herself warns Obol that not everyone in cult is evil, and we do see relatively reasonable people like Moss. ( we encounter his ideal, not him ).
Using those people for selfish objective is nasty.
@Yidhari_Timely@AnasSilverhand I don't see that being in her letter. It's reads more like "I am getting more power, but losing my options to back out" than trying to steer the cult.
Same with things like her hating TOPS. That's not really stated or implied at all.
I'm sorry for being a bit downer, but IDK where to go the next.
I would like to get a bit more practice before doing any of the October stuff, because I want to give that my all. But otherwise motivation is at all time low.
Please do share your ideas if you have any. ๐
@AnasSilverhand Right, yeah my backgrounds are downright primitive, good call on that, even though that will not be the most exciting practice.
About drawing others, I would only do characters that have tons of art already, so probably no.
