page 846 – Someone mention me?
Well THIS is embarrassingly late, and only half finished. Just in case you missed the note I added to the previous page, I seem to have caught the crud at Hoshicon, cos I’ve felt like SWEATY GARBAGE every since I got back. Hence, a day late, half-finished comic. Hopefully I’ll have the colored version up by tomorrow morning. And also the new Voting Incentive (which, as an additional embarrassment, I actually DID get drawn on time, but couldn’t get around to coloring) With all these delays, I’m tempted to just say that the other page for this week will go up on Saturday instead of Friday. I do kinda need the extra time to get to work on all these Conventional Wisdom comics, after all. I dunno, we’ll see.
Oh, and just to show how out of it I’ve been, the original idea for this page was for it to be a continuation of Stilez galloping along from the last page, only stopping when she picked up Vengeance’s creepy vibes… and it took me a lot longer than it should have to remember that Stilez has already MET Vengeance and had no problem with him. So, last minute, ground up rewrite to be a Tax/Avatar page instead. Fun times.
New Voting Incentive is finally up!
(Historical Notes: MAN I wish I could do more to clean up all those weird lines in the second panel, but it’s an artifact of whatever I did to create the effect in the first place. Also, NOTE TO SELF, the comments were awash with discussion over how to properly pronounce some of the names that had just been added to the new cast pages. Make sure to add actual pronunciation guides for the more future-y names when the time finally comes to set up the NEW new cast pages.)
Actually, rereading this, I’m have the impression that Tax stopped due to knowing Vengeance, and not wanting to be seen by him. I mean, it’s almost certainly wrong, but it would be an interesting plot twist.
This is another case where I just have to restrain myself from saying anything one way or the other.
I know it’s supposed to be a cloak or something, but whenever I look at Vengeance I see Mr Aizawa from MHA hopping around in his sleeping bag. Way less intimidating.
