Spontaneous Tuesday night update!
I’m off on vacation next week, which means no Cintiq but lots of time for scripting, and I really really wanted to get started on page 20…so this page is coming out early (or late?) so that I can have the rest of the week to start on that! It was a big time management effort where I’d set timers even so I’d get at least an hour of work done a day. Of course the timer for tonight went off a couple hours ago…but like I said I really wanted to push this on out, especially since it had been giving me some pacing woes that needed working out, which kept me from updating last week.
Bali, that’s what you get for taking something that doesn’t belong to you :\











Oh Bali, you little thief. Stealing priceless artifacts! Such a bad little tomb robber.
Bali, next time try stealing a priceless artifact that isn’t bigger than you are!
Uh-oh, UH-OH!!
I like the way Bali is standing at the center of the cross-hairs on the floor in the first frame. Nothing bad can happen to him there!
That cross-with-a-circle-in-a-circle is a recurring symbol in the story :d It is following Bali eeeeverywhere.
Enjoy your vacation, definitely worth the wait every time ^w^
Thanks! I’ll bring back lots of ideas for future pages
I have been noticing this for a while, but now I can put it into words… I love how most of the time we only see Bali’s mask as this goofy and clumsy big-headed bird and then just little snippets of Bali’s cute and heart-warming facial expressions for endearing moments (so far… I can see this being used for fear as well farther down the road). A quasi dichotomy between adventurous and emotional.
+1
On further analysis… this seems to be a pretty scary moment for him… but his expression of fear is actually heart-warming still… eheheh
No no, you see, you always have to have a rock of equal weight to place on the slab before you steal the shiny.
Now the arrows are pointing him which way to RUN!!!
