In which we enter the dark world and I finally get to do colored lineart... except it looks kinda meh actually.

First

---

man drawing castle town was fun. I had no clue what Im doing.

also, yeah, this one is short. bc I made an actual animated gif for my sisters birthday so my hands are in pain. so small thing

I should probably mention now already that this will have actual comic updates without a clear schedule. I’m planning maybe one more and then I’ll need some asks before plot can be moved forward because I’m not a fan of huge timeskips, especially this early on. think of these few pages as a prologue, or something.

also, did you. like the transition. from light world to dark world. I really like it.

... probably time to explain that I was inspired by the paper trail comic with the fact that I’m coloring them in the dark world and leaving it black and white, for the most part, in the light world (because calling it “the real world” doesn’t seem to work when they’re apparently both kinda real and also when this is a video game so neither world is really “real”...)

anyways, the way I’m doing them now is more of a “get them out fast” way, so they’re not super detailed or thoroughly colored (though, the windows in castle town are colored out of the lines on purpose - this place is literally made of games, I wanted to have something about it be kinda childlike, and whats more childlike than being literally unable to paint inside the lines. (as a kid I knew I wouldnt be able to go in the lines so I went so outside the lines it was on purpose. which is probably me being so smart the adults didnt realize until I was 16 how deep my fine motor issues go...)

the new way Im making them is more focused on story than on making everything absolutely stunning. I get that its always a bonus when the art is great, but I always care more about telling a story than about making it pretty.
