Man, I remember the weird blob feet! Often times they were misshapen and would stick out like a sore thumb. I'd wonder why everyone didn't just have paws instead, as it wouldn't require that much work and would look less jarring.

But because of today's comic style, none of that matters! I feel like Taeshi's way of drawing proportions is better now than it's ever been.

i love the concept of david just bein a fuckin memelord at everyone
good bonding

@comfit: That, yes. David, The Memelord™

the floor

Don't be fooled, she's really pleased to see you, she just can't admit it.

Nice art style and nice drawing

Why thank you so you’re all nice

Aww... sad Sandy. A lovely picture.

Poor Sandy... why is she so sad?:(
I LOVE IT!

I get that the point of pose practice is to get it done quickly, but like...

oh this looks good, jay!!! i love how you draw hands!!

So good!! I love the shape and shading of the tank top, and the arm/armpit area looks effortlessly great! Looks so realistic and natural

Aah Sandy, you're such an anime model

Another great, dynamic pose!

gorrrggeeuoouuss anatomy

@box that has to be... the best compliment i've ever received as an artist...
@irreverses thank you, i feel like those things came out pretty nicely as well!
@kit i'm glad because that's something i've been really worried about lately hahahhhhhh
@everyone thank you!!

okay I drew this rly fast mostly so I can rant about Jordan bc honestly this sweetheart went through way more than anybody is talking about??

his sister attempted suicide and he had to deal with a lot of the aftermath. not only is he grieving, but he probably blames himself for not noticing that something was going on with Lucy.And unlike Sam and his mom he has to go to school and listen to all these rumors about her, and then has to see and be constantly harassed by Lucy's friends ( not in that sense more as her friends constantly bugging him about her or being around him when he doesn't want to even look at them). Because not only does he blame himself but them too and being constantly reminded of your sister being in a hospital/away from home is pretty damn hard.

And the thing about suicide is that the attemptee recovers fast and generally finds themselves ( as lucy has shown ) and becomes more open about what happened. Where as a family member never recovers from it. They are always terrified of it happening again and in the recent chapters Jordan is showing these signs especially when she walked home with Augustus and not her.

Anyways lol I just hope to see a chapter where Lucy and Jordan can bond and he can let out these feelings ( because they are pretty bottled up pal )

True I lovehim

Oh wow, I haven't even thought of that aspect of Jordan's character. (Though tbh I've never payed him much attention in the first place.) That's gotta be rough to deal with. Poor guy. He's so sweet. ;__;

I'd be SO down for a family bonding session.

"But he probably blames himself for not noticing that something was going on with Lucy"

So true. I've been in his position on this, it is really hard to bear.

This is a lovely picture.

"the attemptee recovers fast"

Actually anyone who attempts it, even if unsuccessful, is more likely to try again. People often get driven even further because they "can't even get dying right". While there are groups with higher rates of suicide, many of which Lucy is a part of, a huge contributor is because the same person will often make multiple attempts. For instance, a lot of people who jump and survive will probably try again. It's not like in tv where everything is resolved in a half hour, or even some visual novels over the course of a year. It can take a long, long time. Chronic Depression also exists, in which case the Depression will be lifelong.

The thing is, a lot of depressed people are good at hiding it. So are suicidal people, unfortunately.

ohhhh my GOD kit this is so good
the colors are perfect & communicate so much, the lines are so soft yet portray so much emotion?? your expressions are fantastic

and i LOVE that you added the blood and the thousand-yard-stare to lucy, it really hits just how shortsighted mike is being with that one line (& his whole outlook on the situation rly)

basically ur art is... to die for.. and i love it when you do more serious pieces like this

I honestly just LOVE your art it's a blessing to this whole world

@Taeshi: ahhh thank you ;_____; transitions are fun in both sequential art and animation, they're my fav

@Byrd: thank you so much!!

@comfit: THANK YOU.. my line choice is always rough and traditional-styled, i can't ink nicely with perfect digital brushes to save my life haha. i'm glad you like my expressions, recently i've been unsure about those!
and yes, i just... don't think mike really *sees* what lucy went through, like how she almost killed herself, how ugly and hurtful and disgusting and sad and painful it was, how SUICIDE is, and i think he really just needed to have been there lmfao to get the idea, idk. he's just so obsessed with sandy that he can't see things for how serious / bad they are i suppose..
and thank you again! i'd like doing serious stuff too! it's fun, i just hardly ever finish them as compared to my more fluffier drawings so the latter is what always gets posted LOL

sobbing
this is great

OOH SO GOOD kit this is great!!!

This is brilliant work Kit

i will never tire of seeing your art! this piece is absolutely amazing

oh my gosh kit this is absolutely beautiful! I especially love the moon-washed look on mike in that first panel, the whole thing in general!!!!

Yes it would.

I agree, Taeshi needs to get on this

Probably impossible now...

a fan needs to get on this.

just so you know what the deal is with these kind of games.

Yea when mike reaches a certin lv he will bloom into a sexy flower mage like her. I like all your art so far JEMCIV. Please dont stop.

sure, go for it

My headcanon: That Flower Mage is Carson

That is so true...

Carson's mage is a dude wearing the same thing

The more I play mmos, the more i realize how many take design inspiration from FATAL, and I realize why I never reach endgame in the ones that do that.

By the way, don't google FATAL in all caps.

Ahaaa. I remember that.

same

Yes this explains everything Abbey is still innocent.

;_;

Stupid water-flicking! Only immature children do that!

I was kinda expecting this to happen.

Brilliant!

I love this every time I see it hahaha

Guy you strangled doesn't dry his hands.

Totally vindicated.
