Tyrese Haliburton shared a clip from Starting 5 which comes out in a couple days. My heart wasn’t prepared.

Hi #Portfolioday
I'm a comic's artist, here's some panels from "Le Secret de Présentine Ramondore"

Plan frontal sur une affiche au mur indiquant "Grande Fête annuelle du Solstice d'Automne". Le lettrage est ouvragé et à tendance gothique, les lettres sont bleues tandis que des points rouge ponctuent les lettres et les décorations. Au premier, des personnages de dos lisent l'affiche placardée sur un mur en bois.

Cadrage sur 4 cases d'une bande dessinée, où deux personnages marchent sous le soleil fort dans unes montages. Le temps n'a pas l'air pour autant très chaud. les montages et le ciel sont bleus tandis que les deux personnages, un homme et une femme d'un âge certain, équipé d'une matériel prémoderne sont déclinés dans des teintes d'ocre.

Une femme d'âge mûr, de dos, enlace de manière volontaire une homme de son âge qui a l'air davantage emprunté. Le fond est d'un jaune lumineux animé de quelques frondaisons. Les deux personnages baignent dans cette lumière jaune coupé d'une teinte grise.

Les deux mêmes personnages marchent dans les montagnes, de face. Les personnages et le sol sont dans l'ombre. Celui-ci est composé de grosses roches impraticables. Derrière eux, un flanc de montagne frappé de lumière.

Denver Leary spent the last three (3!!) chapters of KEEPING TIME trying to get the reserved, attractive pianist he used to know to (re)join his band. He FINALLY succeeded except it's, uh, off to a rough start

#KeepingTime #webcomics

🎸 Latest update: keepingtimecomic.com
🎸Start from the beginning

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Three dudes in a band are in their practice space experiencing a full range of emotional reactions to a new band member joining them. The bassist, Stef, crosses his arms surlily, Tomás, the drummer, is an excitable toddler, and Denver holds his hands out at Stef in a 'dude, what gives' gesture as he asks, "Stef, buddy? You wanna say hi back, or...?"
