Whoa that was weird. So dusty in these elevators, don't you think?
How obvious is it that I'm trying to ignore having to explain how he managed to get this far into the building without being seen?
The disappearing thing is totally normal though. Wont be quite this dynamic in the future. And not just because I forgot how to do this cool swirling smoke technique.
Okay last page for... a while. Sorry to say that this is a hiatus, but it's going to be for several reasons.
First because I need to really work on the actual story. I have an idea that I like and I know exactly how I want the characters to develop and grow as the story progresses (heck, even got several pages already past the blueart/sketch stage.). And of course, I know the answer to the main mysteries. I just need to get the actual details in there.
The second reason is because I sort of want to try other projects that I've been neglecting. Like the parody book I'm working on, practicing Twine programing (I got a whole maze done, just need to work on the battle system maybe some custom art.) Perhaps work on one of my other comics like S.O.B. or "Werewolf Victims of the Night" (WVotN). It doesn't really matter which one. Sometimes the best way to work on a project is to step away from it for a while. Hehehe... really want to work on Delver's Guide to Beast World. There's this Wild Card Druid that... well, I like the aspect of the cards, but there's a lack of images for said cards. And let's just leave it at that for now.
Third... and this is probably the most important reason... I've been doing some real soul searching lately. As much as I love the idea of this comic, I'm currently not so sure that it's a story I actually want to make right now. (So this is sort of related to the first reason, but also not.) People may get the wrong idea about it. This page especially is pushing it. Sure, I found a work around this time, but I don't... want to... draw that.... Ever... Even if my Gymnophobia is "cured", I still don't.

Yeah, it's fine to take a break from something. For other projects, I have be a bit curious on where S.O.B. is going to go. Thinking of working on my own stories a bit this summer.
On the last bit, definitely don't go with something if you really don't want to draw that bit, though a lot of furry artists just kind of leave it out like a cartoon. This coming from someone with a fursona who doesn't normally wear clothes anyway.

It's not just that. Whenever I write a story, the most important thing to me is the story and the characters. Most comics around here tend to be more about the "feelings" and "will they? wont they of course they will."
Mine is moreso supposed to be a story about identity. "What makes someone a person?" is a personal favorite topic to touch on in my stories. As well as personal growth and... well comedy where applical.. It also (although I didn't plan for it) was somewhat about how I needed to vent some things. Frustration I felt, the personal struggle to connect with others and... well, let's just say that pages 18 and 19 wasn't really Alex talking about himself. Makes for great characterization though, don't you think?
Anyway, the "soul searching" has been leading me further and further away from that mindset and while that's a good thing, it also means that I can't really tap into those particular emotions moving forward or risk "regression". And not the fun kind. Make sense?

Yeah, I'm in the spot that I'm a bit afraid to jump into my own stories because I'm afraid, among other things, of completely screwing up characterization.
Depending on how exactly you slice it, I think furry is a good way to kind of explore that question (also comes to mind since I saw the new Guardians of the Galaxy today). But a lot of these stories express what's in the author regardless. Sorry if I'm not getting this out well. A bit tired/distracted tonight.
