CW: emotional abuse of children

Chromesthesia, Pages 44-49

WHEW. Its 2 am as I post this, after staying up for hours polishing the last page of this batch :'''D goodness gracious I am FINALLY done with this batch, and it only took me all July! We are now officially past the midpoint of Chromesthesia, and im really excited for drawing the events in the upcoming pages.

Its been a bumpy ride from start till end and Ive learned a lot, both about writing, coloring, etc. Its also been a bumpy ride because...well... the topics in Keshet's flashback are heavy, and I wanted to take my time with it.

Wish I could go more into details about the other stuff in the artistic process of these pages, but im about to pass out LMFAO so maybe tomorrow.

I can say though that when it comes to the limited color palettes used in Keshi's flashback, I was inspired by the visuals in the opening sequence of Dirty Pair: Project Eden :]

Voice sources under the cut!

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

Chromesthesia, pages 36-37

Pages that hopefully don't feel too text-heavy!Also looks like things are tensing up a little 🙃

Chromesthesia, pages 41-43

Things are getting a little....... cold.......

Edit 28.6.26: UPDATE ON PAGE 42! Had to make panels 4 and 5 feel more connected, and clarify the storytelling a bit ^^

These are the first three, in what is gonna be a batch of 7 pages that I have been cooking up during June. They have been extra tricky becuse we're entering the Lore Area(TM) and I want the plot to flow nicely!

The next pages have a montage that is gonna be so fun to render, because they're gonna be using a limited palette like that last page :] heavily inspired by the opening animated sequence of the 80s anime film Dirty Pair: Project Eden!
