Heheh... Yeah, this is my chapter now. ^^ Chapter 30, written by yours truly, Violet Thoughts. Very fun little diddy to finally get to.
Honestly, pretty happy to finally get this underway; between the filler for my tooth extraction, the filler for Blues, the fillre for WaR, the filler for Blues being EXTENDED for my move up here... I've gotten REALLY sick of doing filler. ^^() Very glad to give Lenore and Xandy a break and get back in the saddle for both comics.
Favorite touch of this is probably that Alex is front-and-center in the new Starchild costume, as madness sort of erupts all around them. This is a very "day in the life" sort of story, and that's illustrated by just everything pulling at Alex all at once in this picture.
I've been struggling to fit the comics around my job since moving up here and getting back to work, so this was a really cathartic image to draw. I got the entire thing finished in one day as a rush job and felt really proud of myself. Kinda was riding that high when I had to take a long monotonous shift the next day. At the time I drew it I kinda had Alex's "God, all of this shit all at once" sorta mood here.
Xandy being in the cover-box to double-illustrate her being on the phone was a fun little touch. ^^ Nice way of playing with the format.
This one actually came together pretty late; already had a few pages of the chapter done and kind of the idea of this for the cover only came together and then got drawn up over the past couple of days.
Pretty happy with how it came out though. Has this kind of wacky, "I bet you're wondering how we got here!" look to it that's pretty atypical of the covers, which I think is a good fit for how Adam's been taking this chapter in some pretty unexpected directions in general thus far. Really hoping everyone's going to enjoy what all he's been writing up for it and what all he has in mind.
Of note here's Occam; he was a later addition to the cover in the first place, and even when he was added he got moved around in several different positions before we landed on going this route with it. Works as a pretty good demonstration of just what kinds of acrobatics he's capable of, on top of just being a good goofy image that fits with how chaotic this one is.
