Gunwild: Well, unfortunately, although handshakes are a good alternative to fighting, they don't fix everything.
Psu: I like this page a lot. The colors and the mood and everything. And it’s kinda like... a really good bit of showing Maddy’s growth by example.
Gunwild: Yeah, now that I think about it (instead of just writing it) it's nice to see this chapter's comparison between who Maddy was last time they met after a duel and who she is this time.
Psu: She’s still Maddy but she’s kinda gotten a better sense of her self. I imagine that can happen after a few years as the captain. Oh hey, I almost totally forgot about the designs I did for the sword bearers. I believe we saw the robot head with the suit before, but this is the only time we see the other two. I like the tall regal looking one a lot. Oh and also now I’m just seeing Maddy’s cheering section. I forgot the doggos hitched a ride on Theira!
Gunwild: I forgot that too. It's one of those things that definitely wasn't in the script and you came up with while you were drawing the comic.
Psu: Like the sword being a kinda oxidized green...
Gunwild: That we did put in the script. But I think it was your idea how we'd do this bit. I'm not sure how I wanted the sword to react to Maddy but it was probably not going to be as visually interesting. This page might even work better without dialogue in the final four panels.
Psu: I just thought the green was really pretty. But anyway, the words are nice. If I may compliment you, I think even though they’re not really adding to the emotional moment for Maddy, what they are doing is extending the length of time these panels take. Well... maybe you can upload the wordless version for our Patrons so they can make that judgement for themselves!
Gunwild: No problem. Enjoy, Patrons!
