The Golden Week - Page 001 3rd anniversary edition
As someone pointed out the other day, the Golden Week comic had it's third anniversary just now (!) and I should've celebrated it in some way.
Since I was feeling all comicky (?) and wanted to experiment further with Manga Studio, I've decided to redo the very first page of the comic in it.
This is how I would've done the first page with all the expertise and knowledge I have today, but then again, I wouldn't have all this expertise and knowledge if I hadn't done everything I've did thus far.
Doing this comic and watching TV series taught me a lot about storytelling and presentation, in here, I introduce the main character (no narration, please) and even without any actual text, I believe you can deduce he's stuck in this piece he's writing and will take a walk to clear his mind (also, meet a dog and have a fight with his roommate, but anyway).
It makes me sad though that I'm lacking in the background part (that fourth frame is a real treat, but that's about it in this page), so, I think I'll be practicing it VERY HARD from now on.
You can see the original page here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8352443
Either way, hope you all enjoy it. :)

Holy hell, I seriously love the style and look you pulled off in manga studio! I love your regular style and the gentle shading it has, but this looks really amazing. Nice work with this, and thank you for providing us with a lovely, even if frustrating, comic!
In fact, I didn't do the lineart for this one, so the lines are pretty much the digital sketch, also yeah, the lineweight is slightly smaller, but then again, I feel like my latest pages (the ones I'm posting on patreon) are slowly going towards this more clean and polished style. o3o
And thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the comic, even with it's frustrating plot. ^__^

In my work I always put a lot of effort into producing a story-telling background. However, the almost abstract background on this page focuses the reader’s attention on the main character, which is what the first third of any story is supposed to do.
Yes, the WHERE the story is taking place (i.e., which is the job of the background) is important, but that can be slowly filtered in with the following pages if you were doing them all over again.
A very enjoyable comic story, Kimmykun.
