Description

"Takeoff", pages 16-20.

1-5: [x]
6-15: [x]

The end of a deceptively simple story about a fox and his bird pilot.

Ink and nib pen, watercolor.
Story and art © me.

I learned so much from making this story! I tried a lot of new things. Some were structural, like plonking the diagram sequence in the middle and transitioning from slow, horizontal panels to fast-reading vertical ones. And there were the process issues from doing the pencils, inks, and watercolors separately. I wanted "Takeoff" to be as clean and traditionally-made as possible, to really push myself with craftsmanship.

There were moments (a lot of moments) when I felt horribly sure: this will never work. But it's here, and I'm hella proud of it. I'm truly happy to share this work with you all. Next step: get it ready for print.

Thanks so much for reading! :heart:

The art in general is just fricking fantastic, And i apologize if this isn't the ideal critique. However i will not that the paneling and general framework was one of my favorite parts of these pages. on top of that the colorwork and hatching is crazy impressive. Along with the character designs id just say this art is well, Fricking awesome XD plus the whole feel the comic gives off is pretty nice to, Even without reading the prior pages i'm wrapped into the comic and still have a basic understanding of the current situation. This alone makes me want to see every page thats out and thats to be released. Anyway, short version is, This is awesome, your art is great, im not a real art critic, but heres a critiqueXD
