Chromesthesia, pages 27-30

WE HAVE HIT THE 30 PAGE MARK WOOHOO!!! :DD Chapter 3 is officially longer now than Ch 1 and 2 combined, and more is about to come! The plot does not really have any moments where I feel like a "to be continued" end mark would fit. Also, 1/3 of the comic is now ready!!

In the third page, Keshet's line "Mazal bueno" is Ladino (Judeo-Spanish language of Sephardic people) for "good luck"! :) equivalent to Mazel Tov in Hebrew. Except used as a good luck wish for upcoming events, while Mazel Tov is a congratulation. Keshet and Efraín are the only Jewish people in the room, so I wanted it to also feel like a special moment of connection!

ALSO THANK GOODNESS I AM FINALLY FINISHED WITH THE PAGES OF THE STAFF ROOM MEETING. As fun as it was to draw the schoolteachers goofing around and interact, I was getting tired with tinkering with the pale purple/pink gradients of the bg and trying to get the other colors to be in harmony with them XD

Some recent color palette/design fixes to the main cast!! Some faculty members are missing because their refs are still undergoing revision LOLLLL (Fjalar and Suzette to name a few) but heres what I got so far

Anyway have these edits in the meantime

Since I am not going to be able to work on the upcoming pages for a couple weeks (due to IRL life getting giga busy for me + I'll be working on stuff like assignments, commissions etc), I'm opening an ASK EVENT for the time being!

Aka, you can send asks to the inbox, directed straight at the Academia Altagracia staff members. And I will answer it oldschool ask/rp blog style, aka with a sketchy lil comic of the character answering the question :^)

Be it a question on mathematics, an opinion on their favorite brand of pineapple pizza, a bold question about the staff member's embarrassing private life, YOU NAME IT! (However expect non-direct answers, if the question has an answer that will be addressed at an actual spoilery point in the comic)

Additional rules:

- no nsfw asks (suggestive-ish asks are ok as long as they're about the adult characters ONLY)

- no bigoted/hateful asks, don't be an asshole

- godmodding is ok if its funny

- while the characters will answer in-character, don't consider the stuff that happens in the answer-artworks as "canon" aka part of the actual webcomic's timeline

THE CHARACTERS THAT ARE OPEN FOR ASKS:

- Prof. Keshet Cárdenas, art teacher (also expansive knowledge on microbiology and insects 😎)

- Principal Efraín Galante, principal and faculty dean

- Prof. Riff Umpihanki, music teacher

- Sporesso Summer, school librarian

- Prof. Rotaxanne del Champán, math teacher

- Prof. Morgan Armogan, chemistry teacher

- Prof. Otto Salazar, biology teacher

- Fjalar Farero, head steward and janitor

- Suzette, kitchen assistant

- the Gates, the school gates, professional at being the school gates

He doesn't like coffee, he prefers herbal tea :^) coffee gives him the zoomies and makes him feel anxious and uneasy. Something he and Keshet have in common!

Hey guys! Sorry for the month-long wait, I have been (and still am) giga preoccupied with the postprocess phase of a thesis animation. But the next six pages are finally nearing completion! That's right - the next drop is gonna have SIX pages instead of the usual 4 :^)

So until that, have these teasers! Something crazy is about to go down at Academia Altagracia, that's for sure, but I surely wonder what 👀
