A Helping Hand - Page 14

To everyone who thought Blue was gonna be going after the deer guy... uh... sorry? Never even occurred to me while I was making this. He really just likes to watch people get it on with Gale. Like, a lot. :P Was an interesting idea though!

I think this page is where I finally started to get a hang of the darker lighting. Things look a touch better here. I did however intend to do some stuff with the BG of that first panel to emphasize the climax a little bit, but I went into auto-pilot mode while painting and completely forgot. As a result the actual big moment is a little... understated. Oops. Not much I can do but try to pay better attention in the future, maybe mark out such panels better. I also originally wanted Gale to be a little more affected by events than he seems to be, I wanted to make it look like he's a little pent up by doing all this without his own release, but that got lost in the drawing somewhere. I'll be honest- at this point, where the comic had gone on for triple my planned length, I might have been allowing myself to say "yeah, that'll do" a little too much, heh. I think the big takeaway from this entire project is, for a shortish comic like this, sit down and plan out the entire thing before working. If I had known it would be this long from the start I would have been fine, but with going like three weeks over what I thought it would take made me a little antsy.

All that being said, I rather like the bottom left panel. Gale just looks cute there.

Finally... yeah. He ruined the bed now too. Oops.

Aaaanyway! This comic was an experimental learning experience, and I could take the time off to play around with it partially due to the very generous support of the folks over on Patreon! patreon https://www.patreon.com/ruaidri patreon

If you like this slightly more story oriented type of work and would like to see me do more of it, and hopefully make it better, chipping in a few bucks over there will go a long way toward making that more tenable for me, and there are some perks if you do, too. I'm currently taking some time off to do some practising and maybe take a normal commission set, but I'm rolling the idea around my head of doing a hypnosis/mind control/borderline non-con short comic, and any support you can chip in would help make that happen. (And if you happen to not be into nearly non-con stuff, don't worry- it'll always be a minority in my gallery, I generally prefer happy willing activities, but I've got a neat idea that kind of demands it here so I wanna make it happen!)

If that ain't your style, that's cool too. If nothing else I'd love to hear what you think about the page here today. I hope y'all enjoy it, despite the flaws! :3
