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_akitaPatreon, or Discord channel to be in for a chance to grab a slot.
