Comic Report #127.4 - alkfcaoljk;efoi (Patreon)

Okay so: hi. It turns out I wasn't quite as out of the woods as I thought I was. When I said at the start of June that we were pushing towards our release date a reader on her commented "good luck", and I understand that now. We've got eleven? more days until this thing ships and I think I've done everything I can to get it in the best possible shape, but I dunno, there's always more to do all the way up until launch. I had more time to make progress on the comic, though, so I got something to share with you today. I think I can have this whole page done by Monday at the latest, so it shouldn't be long until I can get back on track.

Last week I'd anticipated that this last panel might be either real easy or really difficult, but I'm happy to say it's turning out to be somewhere in the middle. The tricky detail I need to work out a little more is one of the candles in front of Alice is meant to be bright, but her hoodie is white and it's directly catching the candlelight so it would also be bright as well. I think maybe a medium-grey value would be appropriate for her hoodie so the candle is brighter at full white, right now they're occupying about the same brightness and I need one to be brighter than the other while both register as properly bright. That's probably going to be the most challenging thing to render, the rest of the panel from where I am now looks to be pretty easy.

I've got EVO on this weekend, I'm pretty close to the last phase of getting this page done, either Sunday or Monday I should have it finished and posted. You'll be hearing from me again soon, and then! Oh, it's all so close. Thanks for hanging in there for this one. I'll be back soon. Until then, have a pleasant weekend!
