Our Latest Comic Is Here ---
Adam's Comments: Bit of a photo-finish here; but page we really didn't want to have to delay. ^_^
Page kinda came about in odd sequence all around; even the script came about when Martin backed up to include it so there'd be a more proper introduction to our villain collection, in particular two new names Bloodletter and Wildside (also get a look at the human who summoned that wolf, Wolfsbane).
Then after that some VERY intense personal drama for both of us (long story), we very nearly considered doing filler today just because we were reeling from it. Buuuuut I'd already done the lineart for a big chunk of it and it's a light, light page, and we were realllyyyy looking forward to showing off the villains here, so thought we'd finish anyway.
Then due to me needing to konk out I tossed Martin the page with half the heads done and he added most of the rest while I was out. Then he konked out and I colored most of it then tossed it over for him to finish and... Yeah, it was a weiiiird sequence all around. This page was sorta cursed but we have it up and ready to go anyway. Curses are no match for us!
Poppy Tear is just so friggin' cool that I think we had to make her the highest-ranking of Light That Remembers' minions. She left such an intense impact that there was sorta nowhere else we could place her in the hierarchy. Been the plan for a bit, this page just has characters confirming it. ^_^ Caligo, meanwhile, works great as a frontman.
Martin's Comments: Yeah, this one was kind of a cursed production. We had a sudden unexpected crisis that took priority over the page, then Adam needed to head to bed with a lot of it still left, then when it came time to color it I was basically completely out on my ass from something I took to help me sleep... Ended up finishing with like 10 minutes left before it was due to go up.
Plus side while it was kind of clunky to do given the circumstances behind it am still pretty happy with how it turned out. Is a good way to show off this whole group and give them some quick introductions, which was kind of added into the scripts semi-last minute due to not really knowing if there'd be a decent way to name all of them within the fight proper otherwise and didn't want to have to wait until after it to do so or to leave them all for just being named in author comments.
Kind of particularly want to draw attention to Bloodletter. There was a different idea I was weighing for being the last member of the group (actually several options, but one in particular was pretty close to being done with) but we decided the gimmick for that character might be a bit confusing and would probably need a more standalone venue to be used, so instead wound up dusting off and modifying an old idea for a minor Black Princess villain that never wound up coming to fruition. Powers aren't one-to-one with how I had them planned then but are along the same line, will go into that as things play out.
Either way once we got this crew all finalized ideas on how to integrate them into the fight was pretty smooth to plan out. Scripts kind of started getting churned out a lot quicker from this point.
