Well, next page.

A day late I know, but the shading still needed some extra work yesterday so I delayed the page a day.

And Chapter 4 is off! and what a start!!

Seriously though, this page took much longer than several of my other pages. Lots of pen work. Lots of shading.

The element that actually took the longest is actually the architecture. I really like studying architecture, but I was never amazing at designing it. In MitM I don’t tend to use references in an attempt to stay more original, but it also means I have to get a little more creative and design everything I draw. When it comes to building and architecture I found out pretty quick that my creative skills are fairly lacking there.

“I wanna draw a house!” “Cool.” ” What should it have?” “……windows?”

Anyways I decided to put some extra practice time in to try to land some more profound architecture models. Hope it paid off ^^

The End…

What a great story.

But seriously, Chapter 3 was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it. Chapter 4 is just around the bend now! I’ve been trying to decide if i want to take a break to think about the next chapter before diving right in, but I think I already have a good enough of an idea of where I want to go with it.

So that said, hopefully you’ll see the beginning of Chapter 4 next Thursday! 😀

Fun fact: This was the final page I posted to MitM’s spot on ComicFury. Overall, ComicFury was a decent site, and definitely a decent place to go to begin a webcomic, but I wanted to make an official website that wasn’t just anoter subdomain under some other site.

Well we wrap it up with the bandits and come back to Dayton now. Up until now Ryke has fit that cold, silent role pretty well…

The third and final page for the extra Christmas pages! 😀

GAHH!! NOOOOOO! The scanner cut off so much around all the edges of the page D:< I've been back to using my old scanner for this week and I knew it was bad about doing this, but I didn't realize it was this bad. When I select the largest scanning format (which happens to be the enormous size of "letter," 8.5x11) it is actually scanning at 8x10.5! >🙁

When I get back to my apartment in about two weeks I’ll make sure to rescan all these pages. But those of you with really keen eyes might have noticed that my other scanner scans everything slightly crooked, so there is no winning either way! DX

Well, that’s my scanner rant for the day. Anything about the page itself? ……there’s a fourth wall break?

The “plot” thickens!! XD

Personally I feel that my comic has lacked any plot or general direction up to this point. Now it feels like I have a future goal for the comic to actually start pursuing -_-;

Anyways I was also amused over how the top panel looks so…familiar……

I have returned!!

Finals week sucked, but i made it through and now I’m on Christmas break. So to help make up for the absence of comic pages recently I have a small Christmas week surprise.

This extra update on “occasional update Tuesdays,” and one tomorrow on Wednesday; as well as the usual Thursday update!!

This page was really fun and really challenging in places (a whole lot of new stuff I’ve never drawn before). Also I apologize for Levi’s super, ultra, poofy hair in the last panel. I really don’t know how it happened…

P.S. I’m posting this actually on Monday because I won’t be able to post it tomorrow till really late ^^;
