Raven's Diary pg 53 (final!!!!) (Patreon)

Holy crap, I finished a comic, I was beginning to forget what that was like. Reflection time!

Overall, I’m really happy with how it turned out. Back when I was starting, I remember getting really frustrated with how I was drawing her. Raven is my #1 goth waifu, so I really wanted to do her justice. I think once I dropped trying to be a perfectionist (like, 5 pages in) I started to find my groove.

About half way through I noticed some people getting kinda upset with Raven’s attitude. I remember people complaining she was overly bitchy, which is funny, because she was WAY worse in the first draft. But I kinda agreed, so at some point in the middle I reeled her in a bit. Grumpy characters are just fun to write and it’s easy to get carried away X D

The whole comic wound up being longer than I thought (surprise, surprise). I knew when I started I wanted to do something plot heavy, and I suspected it might be on the longer side. Same situation with Ice Breaker, but just…more. But it was a lot of fun to draw and I liked how it turned out, so I’m not complaining. In the future I might ease up with the plot heavy stuff. I love writing them, but I suspect it’s one of the reasons why these comics are so long.

But, yeah. I had a blast with this one, and I hope you guys did too. I’m going to compile the pages into a pdf and send them out as “Hot” tier rewards starting next June, so if you really want Acquired Taste as a hi res pdf, this will be the last month! Thanks for reading, everyone. I love that I got to share the process with all of you <3
