100 pages! I guess that counts as a milestone, though I have nothing special planned. Going 3+ months without finishing a single page sorta takes the sail out of things, I guess.

I wanted to like this more than I do, but it kind of starts falling apart with the shading… u.u

It’s been far too long since I’ve added anything… At this point I’m not even sure it’s worth the wait. Had fun with the layout for this one though. Quite pleased with the storyboard in general, though all of chapter 2 is pretty laid back. It was never really my intention to write an action series to begin with, so not every chapter will have fight scenes. Sorry if chapter 1 gave that impression🙏

A lot of things happened in November that kept me from finishing this up. Had 250 new vocab flash cards, a new puppy, handling bookkeeping for my dad, I think there was more but I’ve already forgotten.

The second half of the two-page spread. Such a mysterious clothing shop… The story takes place in an intentionally vague location, but it’s clearly the Canada/America region and yet it sells a Japanese serafuku? And it’s not even a cosplay story… how mysterious… As always, I implore you to not think about these things too deeply.

I said I wouldn’t do two-page spreads anymore, but I lied. I’m a slow worker, so it takes two weeks to do four full-body images. I also did alternate colored versions, though since I’m using the multiple/glow layer technique it didn’t really add to much to the time. I’ll include them below, though.
I don’t usually color the dialogue text, but I did it this time just to make it more clear who’s talking.

First page since I updated the website. Still trying to find a good balance for some things, like how much to blur layer I’m putting over everything. Also tempted to add a noise effect to everything, but I don’t know. Anyway, we’ll see how it goes.
In theory it should be a unisex store, but most of the assets I could find were for women’s clothing, so pretend the menswear is off-screen.
