Dachi reference materials - HD
🕑 Added 2025-01-29 23:59:35 +0000 UTCThis is the finalized design of Dachi that I would use if I revisit SWL in the future. There are some minor differences to the way he appears in the current project, which has actually not been entirely consistent as I experiment with and modify my workflow π
When I started coming up with a story for Summer Won't Last, the initial idea was for a longer, slower burn story. However, after a rocky beginning and a lengthy hiatus, I decided to make this initial iteration of the comic into a standalone episode.
I'm still heavily considering doing SWL the way I originally imagined it. Perhaps renaming this current story to "Summer Won't Last: Pilot" or "Chapter 0", haha. It would be a much longer-form story that expands a lot on Levi and Dachi's backstory and history of friendship, as well as their future. I would be interested to know how interesting it would be to readers.
Thank you so much for supporting my work! Your feedback is much appreciated π―π

Yessir, haha. The years have been both hard and good on him.

Thank you so much! I really want them to be happy together too. π I know that sounds strange coming from their artist, haha.

I will absolutely do one for Levi shortly!

Don't worry! I'll leave my options open! I won't retcon it unless I feel that, by the time the story catches up to this point in their relationship, it would benefit from a slightly modified premise/outcome. I definitely, deeply, appreciate that people have taken so well to them as they are, in this self contained narrative.

You could land a plane on that thing (He's too much of a man - how could I NOT make him a hairy beast? π₯΄)

Those two are liiiiife. I am wayyyy too invested in them. I so much hope for them to be happy together for the rest of time. They love , adore and deserve each other so much.

I would *love* to see more of Levi and Dachi. I'd especially love to see one of these for Levi: he's so cute <3

If you do it, make it Chapter 0 and not a pilot! Donβt retcon what youve done so far! It may have been a quick development but itβs still been really cute and endearing

Love the design! It's a really cool idea to see an age skip as well in the reference. He really scruffed up as he got older! π
