#riits

Well, I said I’d attempt to get a short comic out every month, and - over a week overdue - here’s the first one.

Honestly I’m a little glad to get this thing out of my unfinished folder and out of my mind. A lot of awkward redrafting went on with this one, plus my experiment with digital text (my handwriting does not good-size or legible speech make, imo) did not go well. Big thanks to everyone who put forward their characters to fill in the scene-setting - it turns out, getting that many characters meaningfully interacting with their space is hard, so I’m glad I didn’t get that many takers.

And don’t worry, here’s the credits as regards that:

Me: Riits doesn't take humanoid form. I don't even 'get' angels aesthetically, man

So all this l-Arc-ing about (hah) made me decide to revisit Riits. At the risk of nailing down too much about either of these entities, I currently think of Arc as a sort of multiversal parasite, a thing that gallivants about intruding upon various universes and picking off the inhabitants as he pleases. Maybe he is, somehow, also an angel; I like the ambiguity of it all.
