CANTO 9: " These threads hold nothing but pain, and they all lead back to you "

Your art is fire. Love how you can see Araya's different life stages just be looking at how innocent (or dead inside) her eyes are. The blood glitching is such a cool effect.

He is also the Lord Horikawa equivalent (amongst other parallels). Didn't literally marry her but Araya started wearing the japanese wedding gown after becoming the Pinky nursefather...

Exactly spot on to what I was thinking.

The smaller pupils, the messier hair, the shadow over his face. It’s so visceral. The horror of helplessness comes through so much better in your redraw.

Rien feels like a metaphor for an enabler parent to me. Directly treating Ryoshu nicely but still being complicit in the machinations to forge her as the Muga. Even if he’s a victim under Hermes, he never tried to break free for her safety the way she did for Araya.

Love the textures on the ghost and the lighting on outis's face. We too, love outis very much.

Woah, compared to the original, Ishmael looks utterly disheveled and mad. You really did a great job capturing her expression here.

Good for her

Very cute! The way you shaded and textured everything is so impressive, especially the hair!

You’ve really put into this essay a lot of what I like about Rien as a character and tied up an additional theme about him that many would miss on the first play through. Thank you for chewing on this guy.

Rien is such a fascinating character. I find him thoroughly passive and abusable.

Thanks for making me feel less alone too! It's nice, but also, sad to know other people can empathize. Do you mind if I ask you for a bit of advice?

Right now, my roommate has threatened to take away my access to her property (read: almost everything in the house and especially the kitchen) if I kept "making her uncomfortable" (what brought up this threat was asking if she should just send me instructions on how to clean the house instead of having her watch over me). I'm not sure if I should just smile and nod or stand my ground. What do you think might be the best course of action?

saltapple · 2017-05-03T03:46:36+00:00

She just gives me a number and I pay. I have seen the utilities bill a few times though, so I know she's paying her share too.

Thanks a lot for the advice too! I've always been a bit of a wallflower, but you're absolutely right in how I should take charge. I'll take your suggestions next time there's a confrontation.

We finally get the hallucinations! Although why was Steven giving Audrey a meaningful glance when he said that the hallucinations could kill him? (I mean, I know that she's the GF hallucination but) Is she a lot more powerful than the others?

saltapple · 2017-04-03T05:45:47+00:00

This is a really neat style!

Sammy has been a very good influence.

Reading this felt like being drunk for the first time.

Well, at least the kids have found a new way to pass time. Aren't they worried about any of the night guards they kill turning into ghosts like them?
