For those who remember the original, a certain someone has gone missing. I decided it would give me a bit more leeway with the story if she doesn’t know exactly where he lives right away… Partially because of this and partially because the original cabin just sucked, I took extra care with first panel. Since there’s less panels overall, I wanted to make sure it had something interesting to look at.

That being said, it was a pain in the ass. I understand perspective in theory but whenever I try do it, it ends up way too exaggerated and skewed, I guess because I put the vanishing points too close together? I end up having to break it down into parts to really grasp how the various pieces fit together and I still kinda messed it up a bit… I’ll show what I mean down below, and while I’m at it I’ll include a picture of the cottage without the ever present purple overlay, since I spent so much time on it.

This was one of the pages I was dreading colouring because the background is such a pain. If I thought I could get away with just solid coloured backgrounds, I definitely would, but in the end doing so lacks a certain impact and so I can’t bring myself to avoid it.

I mirrored a bunch of panels to keep some consistency over which side the injury was and which hand had blood on it. Looking back, I don’t know what kind of person just offers the blood-covered hand to someone… At least wipe it on your pants first, come on!

Finally we get to see Thanatos in his proper appearance…! He spends so much time as a blonde in the early chapters, it makes me miss his proper colour scheme.

I tried to fix the foreshortening of Remi’s arm, but I think I just ended up making it wrong in new and different ways instead.
