Ch6p08
Chapter: Revelations
Location: Lusitania
Look, it’s me, being absolutely unsubtle about the points I want to make with this story!!!!
I had to revise the dialog for this page at least some 10 times before I got to a version I’m not terribly unfond of. This one still ain’t it but we gotta push through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways just gonna leave this here and let you figure out how the life in Lusitânia must be like (a joy).
Also you know what? This might be one of my top favourite comic pages ever. I don’t know, it’s simple, effective and summarizes a lot. But hey, why don’t you tell me which were your favourite pages so far?

1 Panel.
Ângela is standing in the shore, with the dark ocean and dark sky behind her.
Ângela: You may have a vague understanding of what our country does to whom it deems its enemies, but, as an extractor, I have studied to bring that exact vision to life. You may GUESS, but I KNOW. The definition of enemy is very malleable in the hands of a state that has already decided it does not care if it tramples over its own people. It's not just THEM. It's never JUST THEM. Tomorrow, it will be you.

I like bloody stuff with signs in them. Little holy shishi or simbols out of the world there creepy spooky stuff. So ch5/5p62 (thing there was bloody Miguel horror Vision).
Oh you mean, that one time Miguel did a great job in externalizing humanity and fear?
That was a really fun scene to make but it took me a few attempts until I settled on something interesting. Hopefully it also brings some insight into how Miguel sees and approaches things.
ah I see he approaches things as a big death body blob UvU
miguel knows how to make friends.
it makes me wonder whether in a society with telepaths, the evolution of a thought police is inevitable.
no wonder Angela is unwell – how long did she have to try to hide these thoughts from Estanis and co.?
I don’t really have a specific favorite page, but I do have favorite scenes and story beats.
-the visuals of augurs hooked up to the gods
-the moment when you started unceremoniously killing off named characters, and I realized this was not just a cheerful fluffy story (I went in completely blind so that one hit me spectacularly!)
-Angela teaching foreigner-san how to people
-any time Miguel does something
(I liked Mikhail and I love foreigner-san, don’t @ me)
Well, if those were your favourite things then oh booooooy you’re in a for a ride
HELL. YES.
you bring the ride, I’ll bring the snacks!
(Foreigner-san…do you…like…eat? you can have some popcorn)
The reveal of the foreigner especially on page 38 of chapter 2! Also the architecture pages
You mean this one? I still go back from time to time to fix the CSS on that one ?
Sometimes even us in real ife need a moment where someone turns to us and just says “LOOK…” and spells out just how everything actually works.
Just sometimes it’s at a beach at gunpoint wait no that doesn’t sound good uh redact that
That truly is how some friendships start ok ? ? ?
Oh! A thesis!
Trying really hard to have my comic be about something here!
I love this page too, all Angela, all badass. I also love the scene with Filipa and her mom, the lighting was so warm and peaceful but conversation was so chilling!
Ângela finally has a moment and we’re here for her ?? respect!!
OOOoh I like those pages too, I modelled them after my own garage :B
DAAAANG GIRL TELL EM
I’m starting to think states and police are bad somehow :thonk:
