Starting with this page, we finally get to see the alien planet during the day. The other scenes to date have been dusk and night time, so some of those colors were a little tinted towards those lighting conditions. I do like how colorful the vegetation is but hope it doesn’t come across as too much of an assault on the eyes.
I’ve been looking forward to this scene, where I get to show a different side of Illaryn Jayd. For the energy sculpture, I went through so many different ideas, from figures to other animals. In the end, I just thought a whale-like animal leaping from the water would be interesting and different.
And then Avatar 2 started making the rounds, with the heavy emphasis on the sea creatures and, in particular, the cool Tulkun whale design. I had settled on my design a while before that though. It was either that or a tiny, curled up alien hedgehog. And that, while cute, would not have been quite as impressive .
“This, oh it’s nothing, just a fluke.”
“I think the fluke is the part that’s still underwater.”
The concept of Space Whales existing honestly has to be one of my favorite classic Scifi world tropes, just so majestic~
Not an assault on the eyes for me. Because of all the bright colours I did think the sculpture was part of the vegetation at first. And probably also because I had only seen Jade use her powers for combat previously.
The sculpture is beautiful, as well as the surroundings, Jade sculpting and Sky napping. I guess we can dub this page: The Brief Beautiful Break.
Sky is the kind of person to, seemingly sincerely, compliment the cartel hitwoman who lied and feigned friendship, knocked her unconscious, kidnapped her, stabbed Roka’s shirt, threatened to blow up her friends and means to deliver her into a life of slavery.
Not sure I want to know what you’d have to do to get on Sky’s bad side.
Ha ha. Yeah, Sky’s good people.
