126: I Wanna Hold Your Hand

What a classic Beatles tune!

This page was quite a challenge to design. Those 5 little panels in the bottom left – they were hard! To begin with I wanted there to be just be 4 panels from the aerial view – but after I re-read my script, I realised it was missing the urgency that I had put in the written description of the scene. So, I had to fix that. You can see that happen in the time lapse that will be attached to the WIP gif that’ll be posted next.

I mentioned in my recent patreon update, things are looking brighter than they had been recently, and continuing to do so ❤

I am currently struggling to juggle all my work commitments, so page posting may still be quite irregular. But unlike the past few months I am able to actually engage with the production of Orbit again, which is such a blessing!

123-124: Press X to Dash 

Hi all,

I hope this page was worth it’s wait! This was an epic page to create, and it took so long to settle on the composition. I wanted the panels from the left to the right to read in quick succession with the large central panel to be the main source of the energy/emotion for the page. I hope that it reads well.

122: Reaction Speed

I really enjoy how this page turned out. The busy-ness with the sense of motion is something I feel I couldn’t believe I could achieve.

I’ve had a bit of computer trouble recently – the latest windows update clashes with my graphics driver and corrupted all my start-up/boot logs. Which hasn’t been fun to try and fix for the past week. Hence a delay to my intended bi-monthly updates.

PSA: I will be opening for a few commission slots early next month, be sure to follow my posts here, Twitter @rocket_akita, Patreon, or Discord channel to be in for a chance to grab a slot.

119: Hide & Seek

Hi everyone,

Apologies in the massive delay in posting a page update – I’ve been battling my executive dysfunction for most of last month, and then last week my ferret unfortunately needed to be put to sleep.

I’m trying to be better with my schedule, but it has been proving challenging. I’ve basically had to reset my daily routine and rebuild it from scratch to work out how much I can and can’t achieve on an average day.

Anyway, I have been using the new timelapse feature on ClipStudio pro. So now along with a process GIF for those who pledge $15+, you get a file attachment of the time lapse video!!
