I hate Arthur and he deserves this.

These three pages were the first inklings of the RoPR comic that I had drawn myself in roughly 2025 from what I can see in our server we store things in.

I wanted something jarringly eye-catching which was... putting Florian in a nightmare situation! This was foreshadowing that I was so excited to include but at the same time I would've done things much different than how I plan to now.

I still am in love with the idea but I will be executing it differently to make it more appealing to look at since as it stands — everything is wrong with the way I drew things because everything looks so flat and sloppy ; though some of the sloppiness was on purpose at some point it became a bad excuse.

These are the only panels that I kept around, there were others but they either weren't saved or got scrapped entirely. That or they're rotting in the original groupchat that most things were talked about in that I refuse to try and find because that would take me genuine hours.

Again everything here is so flat and unappealing in their own ways when it comes to formatting a comic. I don't entirely hate everything but I also recognize I was trying to rush things as well which caused formatting confusion, sloppy linework, and horrible pacing just within the first few pages (which are arguably the few most important pages when creating a comic).

I'm hoping to keep the same colour schemes where everything is in that almost manga-esque greyscale colouring but I also am hoping to include screen tones to make things really pop without having to rely on heavy lighting and shading work in the long run with the occasional disruption of coloured pieces. Including the pops of colour would also be nice but that's something I'd have to consider!

Florian Holst is an adult man at the age of ~21 at the time of the current timeline. He owns a bar in Pine Ridge with who he considers his brother, Isaac Myers. His favourite customer is Parker C.

He is described to be a tall, lanky ginger-haired man who is highly expressive; especially when in a good mood. Often talks with his hands and is very well-versed in multitasking due to it.

Florian enjoys being outdoors, reading thriller stories, exploring places, going on car rides, and spending time around people. He is quite the social butterfly on most days.

Over the years Florian developed alcoholism and a drug addiction after facing severe traumatic moments, later recovering but hasn't been able to handle more than a glass of alcohol since.
