I’m really excited about this story line! I’m also really digging the chance to try something new. I’ll be using the red that’s present to unify some themes and make certain things stand out, so don’t worry: It won’t be showing up in every strip.
This is an example of how a story can just jump into my mind, fully-formed. I desperately try to scribble down every little thought that coalesces before it disappears, fleshing out notes wherever possible, and hoping I get enough to work with. The idea is fleeting, and too soon I’m left with just a pile of barely coherent notes. I spend the next few hours or days reconstructing what I can, as flashed come back to me.
