A necessary evil, and one I greatly underestimated haha ๐๐ญ๐ฆ
My original draft didn't have this entire section of panels. The castle itself was such an afterthought from the character interactions.
So when it came time to fix my pacing, I knew I had to introduce the castle in the eyes of Cassidy as it's her first time along with us to see it. You don't go into a big fancy place and not look around right!? It made me realize I still have a long way to go in terms of both asset building and time management.
The character outlines took less than half the time figuring out the backgrounds did. ๐ญ๐ฆ Already there are things I wish I did differently with some of these shots, but it's lessons I'll take with me moving forward. I don't plan to compromise the comic to avoid establishing backgrounds like these. I just need to prepare myself ahead of time if I know I'm going to be tackling scenes like this again. (like the very next chapter aaaahahaha ๐๐ฆ)
The next updates are looking to be real sweet! I was thinking of making the 6.3 preview not so spoiler-y. However, you beans are waiting an extra bit for this, so I might as well show you what you have to look forward to in EA this coming January ๐ณ๐
AND?? What's that mysterious extra panel??
You might not see the finished thing for awhile yet (I'm still working on it as we speak๐๐ฆ ), but I've been slowly making a guest comic for another creator with our characters! I wonder who that lady is that got Cassidy so mad!? ๐ฑโผ
I hope you sweet beans have a lovely holiday week! ๐ฅฐ๐๐๐
