The original composition for this page was so bland, I tried to improve it a bit, I think it’s a bit more appealing anyway.

I kept telling myself over and over that I was only going to touch up the artwork, but for whatever reason I ended up basically re-drawing this entire page. This and an earlier page where everyone’s faces got all creepy were meant to hint at the nature of the Atra’novalis. I don’t know if I… Continue reading Chapter 1.1: Stray Cat ~Lost Child~ 032

This page would have been done sooner, but before I could finish the last panel I ended up having to work on my illustration for a Mother’s Day card and so it ended up being delayed.

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!
