And that is!! 18 of 18 pages!! It's this long because I didn't want to break up their fight. I hope you enjoy :)
I had to rewrite their fight like,,, 3 times lmao. I'm not very good at writing fights because I'm Incredibly Passive Aggressive and Very Non Confrontational. Thankfully my partner helped me out a bit with making the escalation feel natural, so hopefully their grievances and motivations read well. In the end, both of them are starving probably-emotionally-stunted teenage boys in a high-stress situation, and Tage is being faced constantly with one of the biggest sources of his trauma that he doesn't even remember-- of course he's going to lash out.
Fun thing I learned this time around, if I struggle with planning a chapter, it can kind of help to write it out in prose like I would a fanfic, and then translate it to comic form. This is how I eventually ended up with 18 pages of comic,,, because I can't really estimate how much I'll need to draw when I'm writing in prose. In turn, this did help a lot with adding more natural behaviors between dialogue, like Tage tapping his finger to fidget while crossing his arm, or all of their pointing and gesturing while they're arguing.
wanna preface this by saying that i am. So normal. anyway i just spent the last week redrawing scenes from mystery skulls animated but as that hermitcraft au i posted about a couple times. you guys should watch msa it is. so so good.
that anon who talked about the Israelis leaving is 100% correct, I would know because I’m South African and this is what happened.
This is the racial demographic of South Africa:
Black African at 80.2%, White at 8.4%, Coloured at 8.8%, Indian/Asian
[coloured is mixed race. It’s complicated to explain, but think of mixed people]
what happened was, after apartheid ended 29 years ago, a huge lot of white people thought that the black people were going to kill them all. “They’re going to kill the boer!” Also, a lot of white supremacists would have rather killed themselves than see POC (especially black people) as equals after everything they had done to ensure that POC would remain in servitude so they left en masse.
White supremacists are the same everywhere, they would rather die than coexist with you, so the Israelis are sure to leave in huge numbers.
Instead of focusing on wHaT aRe iSrAeLiS gOiNg To dO”, I would focus on how Palestine is going to focus on citizenship and right of return for diaspora Palestinians, that’s what I’ve been thinking about recently.
yep!! you've said it all. white supremacists would rather die than coexist with the people they've oppressed. that's why the french left algeria, that's why white people left south africa, and that's why israelis WILL leave palestine. yes, some israelis will stay and decide to live with us, but majority of israelis are genuinely racist and cannot fathom staying there with palestinians. and inshallah the world will be our witness to see a free palestine within our lifetimes.
hi! hope you’re having a good day/night. wondering if you had any tip for achieving phosphorescence/fluorescence with colored pencils? i’ve been getting back into drawing after a long art block and wanted to draw some glow in the dark toys but i’ve been struggling to give a good actual green glow on a dark background. thought i’d ask since you’re incredible with colored pencil!
oh prismacolor neon colored pencils are perfect for this, they only have 3 colors (orange, yellow, and pink) but i think this is the closest thing to what ur describing that ive used in my own art
some of these are more subdued than others, i blend the neon color and a regular color (the neon pencils also have harder lead so are good for blending with) it creates this really nice underglow that i cant achieve with the regular colors. the more subtle ones have less of the neon color blended in and the brighter ones have more. the neon colors are really bright and vibrant it surprised me the first time i used one. my scanner does not pick up neon colors tho (idk if all scanners are like that) so I have to photograph the art instead whenever i use neon colors
im sure other brands have neon colors u can do this with (and other mediums too) this is just what i do
I am aware I said i wasnt gonna post my zelda 2.0 redesigns until i finished them all, but considering these have been sitting for nearly a year at this point (and may have been mucked by the new game coming out soon but who knows) I figured I might as well start sharing them.
But yes Links are included this round, some have funny pages, I promise i’m using the magazine/game manual pink dress zelda, just probably not where you’re thinking

Just a chart about what I wanna change up and keep consistent in my art - I mainly wanna draw Raph with a tail because he deserves one, it fits too well. Donnie gets a long tail too because I didn’t realize how dino-like he looks until I gave him one, and now it’s a must for me haha.
