I’ve always been shocked by the way that some families get along. That is to say, I’m frequently surprised by families that simply don’t. Get along, that is. My point is, growing up I always remember hearing people complain about their siblings with such venom, and it always seemed so strange to me to just not get along with someone you saw every day of your life. Still, I supposed in some cases it is simply unavoidable.
I really like drawing Receptina angry. I absolutely love it. That last panel is easily one of the most satisfying things I’ve been able to do in this chapter. Unfortunately for poor Ms. Seriph, this just means that she’s going to be angry alot…
Also, lightning returns!
I’m getting bad at this. I’ve been combating a terrifying computer problem for the past few days, so my head’s been elsewhere. I was honestly scared of the damn thing, I didn’t even like being in the same room as the poor sick puter. I felt like something vile was staring out at me from inside… I know that isn’t really how these things work, but there are some feelings we just can’t rationalize or ignore.
Anyway, Joe is kicking some serious something in this page. I think his sword is made of lightning, I dunno. I really felt as if I wasn’t doing the lightning effect enough lately, so I thought I should bring it back. Of course, the electricity from the Photon Blade doesn’t really count, but still…. I can’t remember what my point was, so whatever.
Ambex continues to derail the comic! Hooray! Honestly though, I’m sure this isn’t a surprise to anyone, especially since everyone here is already familiar with the old comic. Still, it’s all in the execution, and I for one a pretty fond of what’s about to go down.
Technically, there’s been a good deal of crazy lightingy stuff in the comic these last two pages, but I’m not sure if they count towards the total, since these are now literal bolts of lighting. Oh well.
