Comic style experiment to see how it looks as a page. Decided after some discussion with my bestie that I should tone down the rendering as much as I can if I don't want to go crazy or burn out anyone's eyeballs. Not sure how that will look or if I'll end up doing this anyway because I'm a masochist for some reason but I can't relent on the use of color by going to black and white.

Color is so, so important in subtle ways in this world that not using it is a disservice to the story and Azil itself 😔

Trying my hand at some more domestic scenes cuz I want to and to show the level of comfort the group has. A trope I’ve grown tired of is ‘perfect inhuman thing doesn’t mind gross human body quirks’ because it just makes me more aware of how organic bodies just are. They may be different from squishy flesh creatures, but even the incredible artistry of synthetics have their own version of quirks and issues not dissimilar to human ones. (Thematically there’s reason for this, ahah.) Everyone being comfortable enough to drop any pretense of perfection and flawlessness feels nice.

Especially when you know about their personal backgrounds.

Oh, and no, that long sink isn’t Jenn’s. The Guild supplies long and short stay accommodations for their members who are on long jobs, or as special member rates essentially, and some have the means to host large groups. Big long sink is one of those means.

The last of the main theme images and honestly a really cool accident XD

The terror in the dark, menace of metal,

Started as a gag but then it turned cute on me.

Echo is a naturally curious guy who likes to ask anything that comes to mind, no matter how random or out of pocket it might be. Sometimes the others are put off by his bizarre thought process.

But Jenn? Given she loves to learn and share her findings, questions don't bother her much (usually) and she loves exploring and discussing things like morality and philosophy.

Echo's questions almost always result in her also getting curious about the answer and going on a deep dive if they don't spend an hour discussing it first. It's how they bond.

This is them. This is their entire dynamic as brothers.
