I think I remade this entire rooftop scene over 15 times counting going through 7 different scripts for that particular part and redoing this page 3 times once I ultimately settled on it going this way ๐ฉ๐๐คฃ But it's finally what I wanted it to feel and it's staying true to my original vision, which is the best part! ๐
Few days ago I had a change of heart... As the previous idea was the conversation to go about them hanging out together, watching movies, it wasn't quite conveying the mood I was going for. So few days ago, I had a nightmare in which I was trying to protect my husband from some horrifying black fog that descended from the ceiling down towards us. I was so terrified, I was squinting my eyes, taking a stance in front of him, idk what was I expecting... trying to Kamehameha the darkness or something?? (I DIDN'T HAVE A PLAN) and shortly after I felt his arms around me, hugging me and I heard him say repeatedly "It's okay". Apparently I was shuffling in bed and breathing so hard I had woken him up and he was hugging me to make me feel better ๐ฅบ๐ and the moment before I woke up/opened my eyes, I was so sure he wouldn't have been afraid to look away from whatever horror we were facing, I thought "if he says it's okay, then it must be!"... I thought about this nightmare all day and how I was trying to save him, then he ended up saving me from the nightmare..... And similarly, I was having a conversation about certain Dorohedoro moments which made me go through parts of the manga, and that's when it hit me: Nikaido had always dreamt to have her restaurant and she invited Kaiman to work for her, because she needed him more than anything ๐ฅบ They both saved each other and despite all the bizarre things they faced... Their wishes came true. I felt that to be something solid to set up the mood for the kiss and a good opportunity to see Nikaido getting shy opening up to him just like in the onsen moment in the manga ๐

I'm so freaking glad ๐ญ๐๐ that was my biggest concern, really... The background turned out better than expected! I'm so happy with these splatter brushes, aww yiss!
Their interaction feels so freaking natural, I'm just *๐คฏ* AND THAT BACKGROUND WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I had a change of heart literally few days ago, because of a nightmare... and went on to redraw it all over again ๐คฃ
