Shenzhen Fast - pages 17 and 18 - Migration (Patreon)
Content
I really like the way this page came out, I hope it does a good job of conveying the process flow for assembly between this page and the previous ones. When you look at industrial machinery from the outside, all you can see are sheetmetal boxes, it takes a lot of knowledge and imagination to be able to "see" the real process happening inside. I'm hoping with comics like these I can help to bridge that gap.
The migration aspect was also very interesting to learn about. China has undergone tremendous demographic shifts in the last few generations, and it seems like the changes aren't over yet. I'm really pleased with how Julia and Sfé handle the colour choices on this second page here, it looks really great! Obviously the king crab wasn't housed in the same tank as the other fish, but I took some creative liberties.
If you've never been to a Dim Sum restaurant here's a snapshot of the one we visited in Dongguan
Huuuuuuuge round tables and they bring you dozens of little steam trays. Really fun, and it was considered a "fancy" thing to do so Phil and I were often treated to Dim Sum on our trip.
Unfortunately I'm allergic to like, everything, so I was treated to a lot of Gai Lan and Rice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
