wick, emery, and neeta are wearing maid costumes, except emery's is sexy. he reacts with embarrassment, neeta giggles at him. EMERY: You said we were all doing maids this year! NEETA: I never said sexy maids. Did you shave your legs?

these pages are probably a good example. once the bookcase is established i can't Not draw the bookcase. but for other panels, like talking heads or the handshake, just a green plane with the halftone works perfectly well

a couple examples from hunger's bite. these backgrounds are very little more than a color field, some lines to establish corners/walls/features, and a halftone

the way to make this work is by not doing your backgrounds the same way you do your characters. don't ink them in black, don't shade, etc

i read @haridraws.bsky.social's I Shall Never Fall In Love today and it completely succeeds at what it sets out to do, essentially being a queer jane austen for modern audiences. by the time i'd finished i was really impressed at how much story and development they managed to fit in there

did another playlist write-up! today we explore wick and what he's all about. would not recommend reading if you haven't already read hunger's bite since it wouldn't really mean anything to you anyway!

i took the time today to write an explainer for the songs i chose for neeta's playlist. if you haven't read hunger's bite yet, this will be meaningless-to-spoilers for you, but if you have, you might find it interesting!

It's Labor Day! Have you read Hunger's Bite?

When the ocean liner SS Lark comes under new management, something worse than burnout awaits the suffering crew, and it's up to Wick Farley--vampire and agent of Goldfinch--to find out what's going on.

www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/taylo...
pages 112 and 113 from Hunger's Bite, in which the villain Honeycutt gives a speech about the ship's boiler, lauding how much coal it consumes, and how nothing moves without it--and by extension, himself. hunger's bite pages 54 and 55, in which Wick encounters an exhausted Aamir, and almost bites him

yooooooooo i love that alt hunger's bite cover, that rules!! i actually almost went with an angle really similar to that during the concept stage!

i've been playing fumes, a very fun early-access mad max type game, and it has a Fantastically robust system for decorating your cars. i'm addicted to decals

it's $15 on steam and it's extremely playable, very fun to pick up and buzz around
