I was really happy with all the stuff I tried on this page! There were a lot of "firsts" for me in this introduction. I was initially dreading having to make an introduction for my series, but as soon as I realized I kind of NEEDED it to fully tell the story of TCotC, it kind of became like a warm-up chapter -- I got to experiment and try all sorts of artistic techniques I've never tried before! The volcanic eruption in particular was really interesting to figure out. I used photo references for a lot of these panels, so I definitely knew what to aim for; however, figuring out how to actually recreate the same feeling of molten rock spattering out of the Earth was a genuine challenge I hadn't been expecting!
