[STYLE TRIAL] Summers of Our Past pgs. 1-4 - HD
🕑 Added 2025-07-27 06:22:08 +0000 UTCThe first four pages of my new comic. I want to produce more pages faster, because there's a lot of story I want to tell. Because of this, I'm trying out a more pared-down style that is easier to produce regular work with. I hope you guys don't mind that I want to explore this side of myself as a creator.
I think things will definitely change as pieces fall into place. Maybe certain aspects of the art will tighten or slacken as they need to. I feel like maybe I'm trying too hard with certain backgrounds, haha. That's why I consider this first chapter to be something of a trial run.
Another thing I need to be on the lookout for are good neutral fonts for things like chapter titles. I'll definitely be doing some minor edits on this chapter once the overall style of the comic solidifies.
I know it's super lazy of me, but the first page is a homage to the Evangelion manga's opening. I feel like it's an efficient, if expository way to springboard Levi's character, and that manga as a whole influenced my art deeply when I was small. π

It looks great! It still caries your recognizable line weights, shapes, and style, even if it's pared back. The nod toward Eva is a nice touch as well. Looking forward to seeing what stories you want to share with us!

Levi... 3: I'm happy he has a teacher who seems to care about him, even though I also understand the attention is unwanted. Also, did you use a font for the essay? It's really cool! Zoomed out I thought it was words, but when I zoomed in to full res I saw it was gibberish. If you did use a font could you share what it is? I'd love to use it for filler text in my comics!
