So, the first caption is referencing back to the first issue, when Roeke seemed to actually be missing Nyant. Of course, that started seeming problematic once I'd gotten through the flash back. Well, no retcons and no take-backsies, so instead I voiced my own concern and possible reader concern by having Roeke herself bring it up. By getting mad at herself, perhaps that will ease any concerns you all might have. I also think it adds an interesting layer to her character-- Yes, Nyant really did some terrible things and betrayed Roeke in a most heinous fashion, but that doesn't erase however many years before that when they were happy. Those feelings, at that moment, had really stirred up in Roeke, who, was pretty lonely. Now, as of this page, she's focusing on the bad, on the catalyst that got her to leave in the first place- and she's letting her anger drive her forward.
Tell me you never missed an ex, even if it ended poorly? S'all I'm sayin'. The bottom half of this page, and next weeks page are all going to set up next issue. Smog Zone! 
Slightly damaged, Guardian tucks tail and retreats. Roeke gets a new upgrade and also begins to get real mad, understandably.
I like how that fist turned out in the last panel, and the smoking rocket-launcher panel above it ain't bad, either. Well, I'm still a bit behind on Roeke 04, so I'm gonna keep this short and get back to work on them thar inks. Well, "inks," as I'm doing it digitally this time. Be excellent to each other, --Jhustoe! 
Guardian is back to finish what he began with Roeke's ear... I mean, back!
Good thing laser cannons don't seem too bothered by water damage, she should probably still put that in a bowl of rice or something, to be sure. Anywho, I've gotta get going to my day job, so I'll see y'all next week! --Jhustoe! 
Well, that's that, then. Maybe, just maybe, if he'd fussed over her instead of The Guardian? Yeah, probably not.
I wish I'd colored Nyant's mouth in that first panel... maybe I'll go back to it someday. We're closing in on the end of Stage 03, just four more pages! I better hurry up and finish Stage 04 :P --Jhustoe 
Running a little late today, I blame Damages, that fucking show. The funny thing is: I had planned to say "No new post today... April Fool's!!! On my link for today's post, and then there almost wasn't. Not only that, but it was me remembering that lame joke that caused me to realize that I hadn't posted the new page yet. Go figure.
ANYWAY. The metaphor cookie that is Roeke and Nyant's relationship crumbles a bit more today. See ya next week, assuming I'm more responsible than I was this week. --Jhustoe |
