Hooray!! We hit 150 MitM pages!!!
…and after leaving the cliffhanger of the last page for a holiday break! Yeah, that was my bad… ^^;
I really enjoyed the holiday break, but I honestly should have finished a comic page at least last week. Actually, this page was halfway finished last Thursday, but I was stumped on how I wanted to draw the top two panels (and I lacked the proper amount of motivation), so I just put it off to finishing this week.
Looking back at the previous page, I feel like the last sentence from Dayton should have been worded differently because, as it stands, it kinda sounds like he doesn’t know who is brother is. Which is true (because he doesn’t have one) but it was meant to come off more as, “But I don’t have a brother???” Basically it was supposed to be a poor joke that the bandits had misunderstood Sam as Dayton’s brother (instead of cousin), but the execution was a little flubbed and the joke wasn’t really that funny in the first place, blah blah blah, etcetera, etcetera >.< Also I may or may not have a problem with the direction of some of this chapter's logic. This is a chapter that had been planned for years, but now that I'm here, I keep changing its direction at the last possible moment. I'm having a hard time feeling like the plot of the chapter was being interesting or believable, so I've kept trying to redeem it while attempting to build of off what's currently been finished for the chapter. As you can guess, it's been a little frustrating attempting to redirect the plot down what I hope is a better road. Levi's final line on this page wasn't originally going to be there, but I had some free space at the bottom of the panel, so I decided to slightly word my disbelief of the plan being discussed. Last quick thing about the page worth mentioning is the second last panel (bottom left panel). Is it a little overly dramatic? Easily, especially considering the fairly boring word bubble contents, but it was fun to try out a heavily inked/shaded panel ^^ JUMP to page Page 150
