Elf Blood

Guess what, guys and gals! It’s the 400th page of Elf Blood ever produced! Woop! How fitting it is that I’m in the middle of improvement works during this milestone – I never want to stop making the comic better! And I’ve said this many times before, and I hope to continue saying it for years to come: You guys are what makes it all worthwhile. Knowing that you’re out there, reading this, week after week, month after month, year after year, it makes me feel brilliant that I know I’m entertaining you through my little stories!

So, in today’s experimental page, we have the following tweaks:

• Tried to avoid characters having single-color items of clothing, to make them more visually interesting. TKO’s dress was straightforward to do, but characters with legacy outfits will probably keep theirs.
• Upped the saturation a little bit on the background. May increase saturation just a touch more, to make the page as a whole more vibrant. Saturation will still be muted somewhat, as I quite like having the main characters and foreground objects pop; perhaps reducing the lightness of the background while increasing saturation will help?
• Re-introduced some of the clothing lines, to indicate hard creases and visually support the shading-only soft folds.

Again, all comments are very, very welcome! Also, on a tangent, I heartily recommend Quorn chorizo-style pieces. It’s the only Quorn sandwich-filler product that I’ve had so far that doesn’t taste horrendous on its own. Eat healthy! 😀
