AUG 1/2 Update: IWBTWR UPDATE

Hi guys, i decided to go for a new format with the IWBTWR updates. Rather than give my thoughts on the previous comic in one single summary, I'll spread my thoughts out into indiviual panels with some deeper context in the story decsions made up to that point.

Let me know if this is something you'd prefer!

Also, character poll is going to come up soon! If you have any final suggestions, come toss them into the comments section.

IWBTWR UPDATE

"White Zin"

Is supposed to be a transitional comic to the next more impactful comic down the line. Daisy is supposed to be pushing Zoey in a worse direction by being back in her life.

Apparently from one of my friends, the most pretentious asshole while you can order is a "White Zin" with soda water. Bonus points if you say "on the rocks" and bonus points if you point out how to drink the wine at the optimal degree.

The Grindr joke was petty funny, and I wanted to fill in the comic with some humor to ease the harsher story down the line. It also gives some spice to Daisy's character and her values.

Daisy saying "whoring yourself" out is such an attack on Zoey's diginity and her character it almost makes the audience wonder why she even bothers with such a friend.

The DSE is a major exam in Hong Kong which requires every high school child in Hong Kong to pass. If you get high grades, it provides a solid path to a high quality university. If you fair, you work undesireable jobs to get on with your life.

Zoey inists that she deserves her grades, she even insists it repeatedly. However she never refutes any of Daisy's accusations. So what does she "deserve"?

"The Precedent"

Zoey starts to crash out by drinking a shitton of alcohol she gets from a convience store.

Finding a store clerk's design was kinda hard cause I didnt want someone who could just blend into the main cast. So I opted some design which wasnt too far from what I'd do usually, but someone you wont find in the main store.

"Azaki" Beer is based off a very well known Japanese beer over here which is pretty cheap.

Zoey shoplifts for fun. Zoey dislikes the situation that she's in so much, she's trying to self destruct to redeem herself for what she has done in the past.

The precedent is set. Zoey hates the perception that you dont have to lie and cheat to get an honest position in the world. Because if that's the precedent, then the things she has done has genuinely made her a bad person, and not a person who is forced to be bad in a bad world.

IWBTWR Drafts

This character page needs to empthasize the amount of distance red kid is walking. I'm going to reformat it repetatively like how I did in page 3. I'll also be drawing some backgrounds, transitioning into a dream sequence??

Red kid sees a little boy out in the distance. What does this mean?

the little boy freaks out

acceptance

Here we slowly inch into more supernatural territory, the comic now addresses the color choices made so far with deeper meaning. All the colors are lining up to clash against each other.
