While planning out this page here, I wanted to play with the webtoon layout a lot more. For example, in one panel you see a tilted panel, then what I originally wanted was the Bao boy to fall out of one panel to the next panel. This middle pose between the panels was scrapped due to time, but the idea is still there.

After cleaning up the poses and adding all the backgrounds, I wanted to exaggerate the proportions for this villain here, Gyoza. I shrunk and grew various parts of his already large body, because I wanted to push that attack pose to the point where I could outline it as easily as possible, while looking menacing.

When it came to texturing this pose, I was experimenting with screen tones for the bottom pose. Then I discovered the noise texture, which I barely used because I was inexperienced with this particular texture. This time I learned how to use the many options for this screen tone alone. What you see here is the completed version of the bottom pose.

To push the narrative even further, I coloured the eyes in a yellow and I even added a streak to illustrate movement for this character. This was the best idea so far because it makes this villain look even more menacing and even deranged as he says “squishy, squishy SQUISH!”.
