Started uploading some pages. Haven't had a ton of time to work on these, but I'm happy with it so far :D (3/17 pages).

Shading with pencils, off the computer, is a ton of fun, but it'd be a bit easier if the frames werent so small (im working on 8.5/11in, paper, with the page taking up the entire height/width). May do fewer frames per sheet next time so I can get in more detail.

kokorobot.ca/site/night_terror

A comic page. 1st frame: "STOP!" guard flashing light at hakazi in the dark. 2nd: "Youre in big trouble kid. Pulling survey stakes is an actionable offense." the guard says, hakazi replies "the hell is a sir-vay steak?" 3rd: "Dont bother trying to deny it, i know it was you. hands up." guard says. "But im a rabbit!" Hakazi says, his two hands holding up 2 fingers behind his head, smiling mischieviously. 4th: "On your knees, now." the guard is not amused.

Finished and uploaded page 4/17 :>

Some sneaky action.

Sequence up to date: kokorobot.ca/site/night_terror

comic page featuring Dae sneaking up behind an armed guard to try and save his buddy, while the guard is speaking to his captive at gun point. 1st frame: guard says, "im coming to you now" to hakazi who is on his knees, hands behind his head in the glow of the guard's flashlight. Hakazi says, "No no, id rather you stay there." Guard says, "funny. You're about to learn a very hard lesson..." Meanwhile, Dae is slipping closer and closer...

Finished and uploaded page 5/17.

"Bonk". Sneaky indeed. Originally, I had put the word "Thonk". Not sure which one I prefer 😬

kokorobot.ca/site/night_terror

A hand drawn comic page. Panel one: dae just pushed the flashlight out of the guard's hand. Guard looks surprised and says, "AH?!" Panel two: the guard looks furious, the flashlight having fallen out his hand h cant see anything, he turns a bit, smacks dae with his elbow, while saying "who's back there?!".

@rek That tall cranky glass'o'water reminds me of the center anchorage of the Bay Bridge's west span 🗿 #ColossusOfRude

The chunky bit in the middle of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge

[7/17] I shared the line art for this page a while ago, action hasn't changed. This is that same page but with shading :>. I don't get to work on this a lot so it's not advancing fast, but I get a bit of work in every few days~

Getting elbowed in the face, no fun. Dae is NOT pleased.

kokorobot.ca/site/night_terror

A hand drawn comic page, in which Hakazi tries to hurt the guard from the back but the guard elbows him in the face, causing him to drop his weapon. Dae sees this and screams, "IDIOT" as he races back to help him. In the last frame, the guard lifts his head, he can hear Dae racing towards him.

[8/17] The unintended consequence of Hakazi's decision to turn back...

kokorobot.ca/site/night_terror

The guard cant see in the dark, but he can hear what's going on and takes a shot(in the blind) towards Dae who is still running towards him. Dae and Hazaki see well in the dark and both are concerned, both can see that the guard's aim is good. Hakazi tries to stop him, but it doesn't work. Dae is shot in the upper thigh and falls to the ground.

[9/17] Hakazi giving the guard the finger never fails to make me laugh.

kokorobot.ca/site/night_terror

A comic page. The guard grabs hold of Hakazi, turns on his flashlight that he grabbed off the ground earlier, and turns to look at Dae(whom he shot in the previous page). He sees Dae was shot in the leg, but is disturbed at the sight of his strange-looking leg wound (no blood, skin looks brittle). Hakazi cant get out of the guard's grip "The fuck! Were you grown in a lab?!" he yells. "I don't believe it" the guard says in the last frame, with Hakazi giving him the finger while saying "Believe this asshole!"

[10/17] Guard is properly freaked out.

Getting a bit better at weighing shadows on both the background and the characters, the action is easier to read (i think). Using both HB and 7B pencils on these.

kokorobot.ca/site/night_terror

A comic page. The guard's guard illuminates Dae, he looks frightened. Hakazi looks in turn, and sees Dae's wound (and appears to be surprised by it as well). The guard freaks out about the lack of blood, and turns to Hakazi, freaked out about what they are. Hakazi is afraid suddenly, "Whoa whoa I bleed plenty! Just look at my face man!" The guard is too freaked out, and knocks Hakazi on the ground and slugs him in the head "What ARE you?!" he yells.

[13/17] The altercation takes a dark turn...

Dae can't go help Hakazi because of his wound, he looks to be in deep pain as he settles back down on the ground. Hakazi tries to show the guard that he's not like Dae, he CAN bleed, but the guard has lost his head a bit in this moment, and decides to shoot him. The bullet goes through Hakazi's left eye, exiting at the back. Hakazi falls backwards.

[14/17] Dae is... not happy, something is stirring...

I realize that this project is really different from say, Wiktopher haha~! I feel like I ought to have said this when I first started sharing this :)... I like action/horror comics, drawing complex expressions, intense moments, etc

Dae reacts to what happened, he is furious. "You're DEAD" he says. Guard turns his attention to Dae, "You... you're the abomination! There's nothing human left in you!" Dae bares his teeth, "I... wish."
Dae's expression changes drastically, like, he is shaking, his pupils narrowing. He appears surprised by what is happening. He notices his right hand changing, fingers elongating, getting longer and longer, it doesnt appear to be a pleasant process. The guard is confused, "What... is going on?!"

[16&17/21] (yes, the number of total pages went up because apparently I can't count)

Dae is... ok?

kokorobot.ca/site/night_terror

The guard is properly freaked out and shoots at Dae. The bullet pierces Dae's chest. Dae appears hurt, but doesn't fall, his hands and arms are elongating and he holds onto a pair of nearby trees for support. The guard watches from afar.
Dae's head lolls back. The guard is frightened. Dae then seemingly recovers, his skin is full of lines. He looks at the guard, looking fine, but a little sad, with a big hole in his chest, which once more... isn't bloody. Pine needles are slowly falling from the trees, after Dae grabbed onto them.
