Nope, not a joke! The lovely raven-2007 decided to very kindly commission me for the next page of Breakthrough.

I actually have had this page sketched for a long time, but I never got too far with it due to time constraints and lack of inspiration, which is why some elements may look a bit old. I did go back over the sketch, but I didn't want to change it drastically since the original style wasn't awful or anything.

Regardless, it's pretty cool to see Breakthrough in my newer style. I never forgot about this comic and I do still love it, it's just.... time. Blah.

Anyway, enjoy, and be sure to thank raven.

Thank you, raven-2007 for commissioning this.

It'll honestly be awesome to see the rest of this comic done in your new style, once you find the time to do it.

I really would love to see it, too. I've got a lot of twists up my sleeve but just not the time to get'em down

Thank you Raven! It's so nice to see you back and I know the feeling. Keeping up a two week schedule to get my comic pages out gets daunting after awhile and but like I said in my status post: when life throws you under a bus....we just don't get all the time we need to finish on time plus responsibilities, etc. can make it even harder to get things through; thanks again and don't stress yourself, it's our worst enemy when doing art (any kind) like I did a year ago. I over stressed myself and the pages looked a little messy (gonna re-organize it after I finish the first part of the story) but after the mayor storm we suffered last year I realized my health and mental health are important so now I take a bit more time to upload a page that doesn't look rushed or messy (panels/things all over the place and fewer errors).

Thank you for the insightful words. My life has been pretty hectic the past few years, between moving between countries, attending college, commission work, trying to learn how to drive, and maintain a healthy social life. I just haven't had the time to continue the comic how it's meant to eb continued; in a well-drawn, loving form, not thrown together like it was a couple of pages before this. I prefer to sacrifice quantity over quality, even if it means there's years between pages at this rate.

I'm always glad to see others understand the kind of situation I'm in. Makes me feel better knowing I'm not leaving a bunch of people confused and disappointed

It is cool to see this zoomed-in on the computer... Looking at the claw-shadow on the ground and noticing that parts of the shadow are dark and sharp while other parts are blurry.... Noticing that the backgrounds is blurred like a photo-effect and that the found has a textured appearance beyond just being coloured brown.... Seeing the change in the lighting reflecting off the armour as you follow it around the curve of the neck. I'm sure this type of low light is tricky to consider when drawing. It all looks really nice, especially considering this is just a comic page

Thank you so much raven, it's nice to see someone noticing the little details! It's definitely tricky because it's hard to light the scene enough that you can see it without ruining the atmospheric effect. I had to mess with the levels in photoshop to get it to look right in the end.

Many thanks to Raven, it's so nice to see this continue! I think it's neat that it has aspects of the older style, it can help visually transition to the newer one.

I'm glad to hear! I didn't want to stray too far from its roots, partly because my more detailed current style would take absolute ages to get through if I were to try to use it on everything haha. My style changes, of course, but I tried to keep that breakthrough feeling we all know

Omg, sorry. You're right, I didn't mean to post it as a reply. I suppose that's to be expected when I was squinting at a little phone screen and was half-asleep...

Youre welcome ^^

Yeah, I think everyone would want to. But maybe its good that things are like they are. If they werent we could be bored with too much time, who knows xD ?

True - too much of one thing and it loses its value. Just like billionaires forget what money is worth, who knows if we'd forget what our time is worth with too much of it?
