...WELL.

..........surprise! :'DDD

It has been eight months nearly to the day since I updated my Diamond nuzlocke. Honestly, my roughs for episode sixteen have been sitting for nearly that long, as well, but I just...I got busy with all sorts of other things. I met my mentor, who urged me to apply to CalArts, and since then I've been working with him on the things that I needed to help me make the best portfolio I could, and my Nuzlocke had to fall to the wayside for a while. But I love these characters, and I really wanted to keep working on it. So last night, I opened up a new file and just...this happened. I reduxed the plot I had made for ep. 16 and completely changed the style of the comic to better suit my art style now. I have to say that I am very happy with it. Panel experimentation is so much fun after eight months of drawing thumbnails and storyboards with specific linear dimensions in mind.

Also can I note that I did exactly what I wanted to do in a space this size:

When originally I needed this size:

To play out the same events. So that was pretty exciting for me.

This brings me to...The seemingly large gap between the events of episode 15 and 16. This can be explained! I...completely cut out the time spent in Solaceon because nothing happened there, and I didn't want to come back into the comic-making game with an unnecessary update. I skipped over the Psyducks too because they really don't need to be mentioned until later, and I wanted to get to the rainy route ASAP so that I could easily segue into Veilstone, where eventful things will happen.

Soooo here we go! I'll be trying to keep the updates shorter because they're less overwhelming to complete and they make the plot move a little faster, too. This means episodes will probably be broken into parts more often than before. Enjoy, guys!
