Update 6

 So I decided to go back to my fundamentals and practice shape language and the like. Eventually, I'd like to make this graphic novel I've had in my head, but I've got to practice first.

So this comic came to me as I was playing Super Mario Wonder, which is a great game. I don't know if you can see the Nintendo-influence on the characters, but I was trying something new with the entire comic. It's silly and dumb, but I was trying to experiment with panel shapes, character expressions, and screen tone. It's a lot tougher than it looks.

Anyhow, the original comic was just going to be 4 panels, but I wanted to try to push it to develop a little more story.

 Back when lockdown first started happening, I didn't really know what to make of it. My grandfather had just died, and I was doom-scrolling on a daily basis. It wasn't good for my mental health, and I imagine that nobody was in a good place. The world as a whole should've handle it a lot better, and day in and day out it was incredibly distressing to see the death count climb.

I drew this during the first few days of lockdown, and it's hard to look back on and not think about what's different. My cat's gone, I live in a new place, and I don't work at the same job anymore. Life changes constantly, but the only thing that seems to stay the same is the news. Tragedy after tragedy and some greedy people making a killing.

Colors 1 & 2, as well as line art.
