Aisel has a way of leaving an impression on people.
And honestly this is an understandable reaction to her tbh. She's terrifying.
In life news stuff: we're getting towards the holidays here in the states, I hope everyone stays safe and that you can all find a way to enjoy the chaos. It brings out the worst in a lot of people but the best in some others. So weird.
I was hoping to have a big enough buffer to switch to 2x weekly by now but I've been so busy with work that isn't realistic yet for this chapter.
This is a super impactful page. Love how Maks is in the middle surrounded by a clash of past and present moments. It’s really well done! The real question I have is if Aisel remembers him or not. Or if she’s playing it off like she doesn’t remember. I feel like Maks would leave an impression on people, but it also depends on how many Amka she sees on a regular basis.
Thank you I had so much fun with this page. As far as Aisel remembering him...well Maks is the only Amka she's ever seen, but she wasn't sure what she saw back in chapter 1.
As it's been mentioned in chapter 1, as far as Kio knows, Maks is the only Amka this far south that she's aware of. :)
There's a lot going on hahaha.
BIG UH OH TIME, get out of there, Maks!
Run boy run
I LOVE this page! Oh, Maks, you better hope she doesn't remember you
Thank you I love how this page turned out. And yeah this is going to be a short comic if she recognizes him lol
In a Romantic Comedy, this is known as a "meet-cute".
Oh, the irony.
You're right, I hate it! This is the anti-meet-cute
Or is it?
I really like the way the vivid color, fragmented panel composition, and wide variety of textures kind of visually conveys the feeling of panic. It's all just so much at once.
Thank you! I was trying to put to paper what the handful of panic attacks and the unreality of it all felt like to me into this page.
see? Aisel is kind and caring
also: sweet custom pistol
Thanks Lirv, I didn't see the Damascu -pattern on the slide before.
I would assume the grips (scales) are made of ivory, just because she can and "fuck you" to the conservationists...
@Lirv & Sig Her pistol is based largely off of this one
I like 1911s they're iconic/easy to draw and less brick gun than some glock variant
It's the bright nickel but with a pearlescent highlight in areas, and then the grip itself is ivory/mother of pearl.
top 10 things to do when someone is having a panic attack: TOUCH THEIR ARM
so my favorite part of this page is that Aisel looks like an annoying welp in the panel where Maks is catatonic
oh oh OH
and there he stands, totally petrified, indeed not very good in hiding his feelings ;D
