A pixel art comic rendered in monochrome. Panel 1: Mags looks down, expression troubled. She says, "She was..." The comic flips from grey-on-black to black-on-grey, denoting a flashback. Panel 2: Beatrice stands in a tree, spreading out her arms. Her hair is shorter, and she wears a t-shirt and jeans. She doesn't wear a mask, but her hair obscures her face. She calls out, "MAGS!" Panel 3: Mags leans against a tree. Her hair is long, and she says "Yeah?" Panel 4: We zoom out slightly, and we see that mags is reading. Beatrice says "Come up here." Mags replies "Too busy." "With what?" "Reading." "Booooooooring!" "I need to know this if I'm ever going to make my own instruments." "Why not use your voice, like me?" Panel 5: PoV shot of Mags looking down at the book in her lap. She says, "Well, not everyone is like you, ■■■■■." With the last word being scratched out. Panel 6: We see them in relation to each other, the bottom half of Beatrice's legs walking along the tree branch, and Magdalene leaning against the base of the trunk. Beatrice says, "But you love me anyway!"

And Noa says "woah..." Panel 3: Mags and Noa sit in silence. Panel 4: Mags and Noa sit in silence. Panel 5: Noa says, "What's taking so long?" Panel 6: Magdalene looks up at the sky, smiling slightly. She says, "She's too busy eating little kids..." Panel 7: Noa says "You can't lie to me! I remember when she was normal!" Panel 8: Mags looks down, frowning. She says "..."Normal"..?" Panel 9: Mags stops frowning, looking at Noa. She says "You remember that?" Panel 10: Noa says, "She was so pretty..."

Here's the better version of page 12 btw
A pixel art comic rendered in monochrome. There are four panels of equal size, and one square panel in the middle, depicting Magdalene in a wizard's hat and a cloak with a high collar. The panels are read in clockwise order. Panel 1: A closeup of two hands sewing. Someone says, "It's a little silly, I know." Another person says "No. I like it. Thank you." Panel 2: A man, mostly out of frame, hands a bottle to Mags, his hands wrapping over hers. He says "Twice a day..." and Mags replies, "I know, dad." Panel 3: Mags laces her boots. Voices in the distance say, "She likes it." "Yes, but..." "Doesn't matter." " I'm just scared." "I am too." A small break between the lines. The first voice says, "Say goodbye to your sister, Noa." Noa says, "Okay!" Panel 4: Mags squats down to place her hat on Noa, who is much shorter and obscured by the panel border. We catch snippets of their conversation. Mags says, "Just for a minute." "Yaaaaay!!!" "Aww, you look so nice!" "...one day!" "Not too long, now..." "I wanna be..." "I think that's good..." "Can I see?" "Hm? If you want to..."

A pixel art comic rendered in monochrome. Panel 1: Beatrice and the dark haired woman stand silhouetted in the doorway, facing a man in a wheelchair, back to them. He is working at a table.

He is an old man with small glasses, hunched over his table. He says, "Better now, thanks to your father. How are you, Magdalene?"

She says, "Since you don't like talking, I guess I can talk for the both of us." Panel 5: Not looking at her, Beatrice nods, her mouth a check mark. Panel 6: They arrive at a medieval style house with two stories. The woman says, "Oh. We're here!"

A simple pixel art comic rendered in monochrome. Panel 1: a dark haired woman walks up to the woman lying on the hill. Panel 2: Through the eyeholes of the mask, we see the dark haired woman say, "Beatrice! You're awake already. I half thought I'd be pulling you out of bed in an hour." Panel 3: Beatrice looks down. She says "oh... um..." Panel 4: The dark haired woman says "... Are you done packing?" Panel 5: Beatrice looks down and says nothing. Her messy blonde hair takes up most of the panel. The question mark over the mouth of her mask has been replaced by a large bold X. Panel 6: Beatrice looks up at the other woman, who looks down at her. Panel 7: We see a field of flowers. The woman says "You can just say no... I'm not judging." Panel 8: We see the woman from below, as if looking up at her. Beatrice says, "no. i havent" Panel 9: The woman reaches out her hand and says, "Here. Let's go." Panel 10: Hand in hand, Beatrice and the woman walk across the hillside.

A simple pixel art comic rendered in monochrome. A woman lies on a hill, arms behind her head, messy hair about her. She is wearing a round mask with eyeholes, and there is a question mark where the mouth would be. In the distance someone walks towards her. Behind the curve of the hill is a house and a cloudy sky. Across the span of the hill is the word "mask" in all caps, separating the woman from the rest of the image.

rules.

www.tumblr.com/circlesround...
Screencap of a tumblr post that reads: starting a comic as a challenge for myself. here's the rules: 1.pages must be posted daily just after midnight 2.15 minutes per page. monday pages (posted on tuesday) get 30 minutes. days where i don't have work might be 30 as well. 3.if i'm not done by time's up, then it gets posted. i'm not allowed to work on it more. 4.two colors allowed, black and #636363 5.200x300 page size. (might scale this up in the future). 6.i'm allowed to pull up references and prepare stuff before the timer starts 7.i can make pages in advance if i know i'm not going to be free the next day the main challenge for this project is that it takes me days to draw, and get something that looks "good". i want to kill the perfectionist that lives in my head, and also hopefully improve at just doing shit instead of taking 6 hours to do simple flats

final wordcount will prolly be north of 75k, i'd assume ~80k. a bit short, i think, but good news is that the (already in the works) sequel is prolly gonna be a doorstopper. i just need some fucking time to recuperate before i can dive headfirst into writing a whole nother book
screenshot of my word count, which sits at 72,877

writing pro tip: start drawing to procrastinate writing. Then, when you start running into problems, you can start writing to procrastinate drawing. anyways, here's a sketch of my favourite evil stick
A sketch of Harrow from The Locked Tomb. She is naked, rendered in simple flat shading, with no facial detail. Her hair is long and messy.
