I’ve been working on this for over a week now and I finally have the first five pages done!!
Apologies for the inconsistent art style and quality, I’m still figuring out what I’m doing lol; also I originally made the first 3 pages in black and white like a traditional manga (hence the specific page ratio) but realized half way through that all the lines, dots, and high contrast were triggering my migraines… whoops… ;v;
At least it gives me a chance to practice my coloring skills. (Lord knows I need it. The purple dress and the orange sand keep wanting to clash so much oof ;v;)
As for the story, I figured simply combining the two story lines of Tristamp and Tangled would make it feel a little bit boring/predictable, which is why I’ve decided to mix and match things, as well as add my own original spin to the story, hopefully to keep y’all engaged/entertained! ^^;
My goal atm is to update with at least one new page every Wednesday (for WooWoo Wednesday, obviously), but potentially more, idk yet. I might also consider posting the comic to AO3 if y’all are interested. This is all pretty experimental for me, so I’m figuring stuff out as I go lol.
Lastly, a big thank you to those of you who have left such nice comments in reblog tags! Your kindness and supportiveness mean the world to me!! :)
I enjoyed drawing/coloring these pages. In case it wasn’t obvious, panel 2 on page 7 is a reference to the big fall :,)
In this story, the July lantern festival is sorta like a memorial for that too. (Probably should’ve called it the July lantern memorial instead of the festival but it’s whatever lol)
Posting this a day late because I got really busy oof.
I’m also trying to go a little less tryhard on the lineart so I can focus more on the coloring. It’s still taking like 8-10 hours per page but hopefully that’s just my inexperience and I’ll get faster with time… ;v; *sobbing with doubt*
Until then, I can only keep doing 1 or 2 pages a week (even tho I’m absolutely dying to do more... ;-;)
Also, sorry about the low quality making it hard to read the tiny stuff. On page 8, vash says “oh shoot—” And WW says “Blondie! WTH?!”, and on page 9, WW says “where’s my damn punisher?!”
