Yeah, certain shading (when it got really dark, mainly) was hard to isolate properly from the lineart. But I’ll probably keep it this way, as I think overall it made thins look neater and nicer.
Taeshi’s Commentary On This Page
This comic was something I’ve been planning for a long time and it ended up as a bit of a failure, but I’m just a big fangirl for music and I sometimes slink back and daydream of scenes when a song I like is playing.. if I actually start using flash to make animated cartoons, it’s a safe bet the first ones I’ll make will be music videos.
Anyway.. no, Tess doesn’t know fluent Spanish. She’s merely singing the lyrics to a song and you don’t need to know the language to be able to sing it.. well.. you need to know it to be able to sing it properly with correct accents.. but you know. Tess just liked that song and found out the translations.. and realized how immensely fitting it was to Lucy’s situation in her eyes. Lucy doesn’t see how it’s fitting, though.
The finale to this comic wins everything and gives me a whole new adoration for David. And for those curious, the song is from “Como Si No Nos Hubieramos Amado” by Laura Pausini.

If you ruin David Taeshi, I will find you, take you into the woods, and slowly disembowel you with a wooden cooking spoon (my favorite death threat).
