[Ch4p8 Spoiler] 2 Inked Panels preview

Added 2017-09-20 20:20:51 +0000 UTC

I posted a snippet of this kinda spoilery moment to my newly revived twitter account yesterday where I figured it'd mostly fly under the radar, but since y'all 10.01+ people are actually signed up for spoilers, I figured I'd share an even bigger preview here!

Let me know if y'all prefer I keep the spoilery stuff in the offsite gallery only.

There are 8 panels on this page, and basically the entire story takes place on Merritt's face. (his lack of poker face always makes things more fun.) I'll be super curious to see how people interpret the full page (and really, the full scene once this page is posted). We'll also get more background later on in ch4 part1.

I'm trying to pay more attention to my inks and let them carry a bit more of the work for dark shadows since I usually leave it to the shading stage. I'm hoping the extra time spent on inking will mean less time spent on shading while also looking better. We'll see. Lately I've been feeling like some parts of my art look better before I shade them, so I'm trying to dial back some of the shading detail without it looking too flat and without losing DOTU's "look."

I also need to add a bit of movement to the top panel when I get to the final stage.
