Here is the next batch of pages. Doing the end of the world is something I really wanted to draw when I started. But I worry my art is plateauing. I also changed the mom's hair half way through. at some point I'll go back and re-upload those pages with her bun.

That's really good and quite the cliffhanger. I remember seeing this thread bumped maybe half a year ago and thought I wanted to get around to reading it though I forgot. About how many "pages" would you estimate the entire comic is at now?

its currently something like 220 pages long. But it's also not the heaviest when it comes to dialogue so its a decently quick read. Thanks for checking it out.

Here is really the end of the narrative for this issue, I started off with this as 1 story in a 3 part issue, but realized I needed to spend more time on the destruction of the world. so that's what everything after this will be.

I really like these 2 pages. I feel like they have some decent power to them. and when they're on a spread it reads across. But I think it works well both ways.

I reject the idea of page economy. I want the shock white pages right before this. This effect will also, probably only really work in paper.

     If the world is gonna end, it has to end in the most over the top sort of way. and the only thing i could think of that might hold that kind of power is just a series of double page spreads. I still have to draw the last 2 spreads and the cover. But I think these have some fine work in them. Mac9k5 fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Nov 21, 2022 |

I realized that if i spend too long in these flashback issues I lose the plot. so I'm gonna add an epilogue. But I really like these last two spreads.

Sundae posted:This stuff looks fabulous, dude. Great work. Oh man! thank you so much! Here is the last page. The cover is taking much longer than I thought, but it'll get there. I didn't plan out this when I first thumbnailed it, but reading it after I thought it was done, it really feels like it needs an epilogue and to show the framing device a little sooner than I originally planned.  (this page has a dumb spelling error I will fix later)

Sundae posted:This stuff looks fabulous, dude. Great work. Agreed! Mac9k5 posted:Oh man! thank you so much! If this is the last last page as opposed to the last of the chapter, it could use a wrapping up page, even if it's just a cliche "sure kids, but that's a story for another day". But I say that as despite intending to start from the beginning I haven't yet (I'm sorry, but I plan on it! I enjoy it too much not to!). I still really love your art and storytelling from the half of it that I've seen!

Started issue 6. I don't paint the cover right away. But I think this story will be pretty good. I am firmly up my own rear end with all these prequels, but I swear they will tie back into the story, I think they're needed.

If a boy and his bug goes the way of a boy and his dog and the bug eats the boy's girlfriend, I won't be even a little sorry, hah.

I've been drawing more of Issue 6. I don't know if I like the truck spread. but I think the rest of it is hitting the mood pretty well.

as John is hit in the face, we, the audience, are hit in the face with the plot, of being hit in the face.

Here is the end of this issue. Trying to make revenge, but too much?               I uploaded the cover to be at the start of the issue on this thread. I don't love it, but sometimes ya just have to move on. Mac9k5 fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Aug 21, 2023 |

I know this thread doesn't get much feedback, but I'm still reading and enjoying it when the updates get posted here. I'm completely incapable of producing anything much beyond stick figures when it comes to visual art, so my opinion might not mean much, but I am still really impressed by the art quality of the art here. It's hard to believe that its, as far as I understand, a relatively unknown indie comic. Again, thanks for posting!

Thank you so much for reading and the kind words. they really do keep the spirit high when it comes to making these comics. Maybe someday it won't be so unknown... Jordan7hm posted:Extremely echoing this. I have the first 4 in a trade paper back, but yeah. when it's all done, I wanna do one of those phone book sized collections. but that's years off. I gotta finish some other art stuff, and then I'll start work on issue 7. gimme a month or two and I'll have some issue 7 for ya'll.

   Hiatus is over, I'm drawing the next issue. This will be the last "Flash back" issue, I hope this long backstory is interesting. I really wanted to create a Golden Age like in Berserk. But a flashback that doesn't work is a real drag. . . anyway, it's almost done.

    This is a personal project, and trying to do art for work does slow it down a lot... anyway, here are some more pages.
