Astray3 Chapter 2: Reception Pg25 (Patreon)

I used to be really good at shoot em' up games. I still have soft spot for them. Usually only play them in the retro arcades these days. A couple of my favorites are Strikers 1945-2 in the arcade and Einhander for the PS1.

A couple of changes are introduced on these pages. A radical change to the coloring method. As with the previous page, I'm shifting toward introducing more "textured" shading rather than the smoother airbrush styling of the previous pages. Kyle's brushes are now available for free to Adobe cloud subscribers. That makes it easier to quickly add some texture variation to the colors. 

Also, the word balloons on this panel represent a remote or "telepathic" style of communication. Used both colors and different ballon shapes to represent who is talking. Now, exactly who is talking to Xaun?
