This was an incredible undertaking of adapting the entire Unwanted Guest script over the course of roughly 9 months. I am so proud of the work everyone turned in. You can read the entire comic in full right now at the link above, along with the full list of contributors!

This blog will reblog the full res pages from each contributor over the next couples of days, so get excited for that! We also have something very special cooking up with the people over at @entombed-theatrics so look forward to that as well. Thank you so much for reading!

Incredible cover art by @allofthenorth !!

My contributions to @theunwantedguestproject! These pages were really fun to do and play around with. Processes under the cut.

I did a quick mock-up for character design before pages (as a lot of us did) to have a general idea of what I wanted my version of Ianthe and Palamedes to look like and what details to keep consistent.

I also did my version of a stagehand even though none of my pages ended up having them so I could experiment with a photobash style- I'll talk about that later.

Gideon/Kiriona was only included after I thumbed pages. Since she only gets one panel I decided to skip the character design stage and just freestyle it.

I'm usually not much of a fanart person so it was a welcome change of pace from what I usually do (honestly in retrospect I don't feel like either them are emaciated enough but eh, it's a mindscape).

Fun fact: I gave Ianthe freckles because as a NZ-raised person most of the Pakeha girls I've seen and interacted with has at least a little freckling even if they're super pale.

Here are my silly lil thumbs that I do on paper, because I like thumbing on paper:

(As you can probably tell there were a few metaphorical panels that didn't jive and were redesigned on the fly. The Virgin Mary pose was immaculate for inspiration.)

The wine glass ended up being too much of a hassle so I made Ianthe throw it away and pick up a new one in time for the next person's part.

Style wise I had three parts to keep in mind: my usual linework + paintshading for the characters, a photobash for the mindscape itself a la Madoka Magica, and soft lines/ paintwork for metaphors. These interact with each other as it fits.

(dark linework Ianthe + real curtain/ couch/ wineglass/ ivy leaves- I had to actually paint the wine because there were no stock photos of exactly what I needed)

(dark linework Ianthe + metaphorical skeleton, robes, and background)

So yeah! Lots of thinking for 9 months of work. I totally didn't burn out near the end. No sir.
