This Romantic World Page 378
🕑 Added 2024-10-04 04:02:59 +0000 UTCCasey is definitely not intended to be the sensitive one when it comes to her and Bria's relationship. But I imagine Casey's heart being in the right place as she's blurting out Bria's secrets here. Casey trusts Switch so completely that it sort of doesn't occur to her that she's blabbing to someone Bria sees as a stranger.
I wondered if Bria might be coming off a little uncharacteristically standoffish meeting Switch. Casey and Bria are in the most open relationship in the comic. But upon hearing the specifics of the display Casey put on in front of everyone, to me it made sense that Bria would be unnerved that Casey apparently is THAT close with someone she's never even heard of.
To me this page also reminds me once again what a nightmare it would be to have breasts like this in real life. They would get in the way of whatever you're trying to do constantly.
This is a bit of a side note here, but this is the first page of TRW drawn entirely in Clip Studio Paint. In fact, this is the first comic page I've ever made with anything but some form of Photoshop. After over a decade, I have finally made the change over to new paint software.
In some ways it was an easy call to make. Adobe has consistently proven to be a cartoonishly evil corporation that offers the most expensive option on the market with its monthly subscription. In other ways there was a reason I put this off for years. The ins and outs of Photoshop, the tricks, hotkeys and workarounds are so burned into my muscle memory that learning new software is like trying to eat pizza with chopsticks. This page took twice as long to make as usual largely in part to my having to fire up Youtube tutorial or go forum diving every time something didn't work the way I wanted it to.
But in the end, I did it. I've learned a lot about Clip Studio this week and I think the next page will go faster. Rant over. I hope you like the page!

"Eating Pizza with chopsticks" Challenge accepted.

That's how new universes are born!!!
Reinbach
Thank you!
Reinbach
Hey thanks! I suppose that is quite an arc for her compared to how she started.
Reinbach
Glad to hear it was pulled off well enough then, thanks!
Reinbach
Thanks! It's slow going but I think it will work out well.
Reinbach
Yeah! She's seen Bria have sex with both Casey and Isaac lol, I bet she can't help but feel like she knows her already. XD
Reinbach
Yeah she'd probably have a hard time staying upright in real life lol.
Reinbach
Thanks! :)
Reinbach
Glad it didn't seem out of place then. :)
Reinbach
It's quite a leap there for sure.
Reinbach
That's the idea here for sure.

I have heard of Gimp but I haven't used it in years. Might try a download and see what's changed.
Reinbach
Yep! XD
Reinbach
There's a hug on the next page that I believe would crush atoms. XD
Reinbach
High fives, thank you!
Reinbach
She did! ;D
Reinbach
I hadn't heard much about that one. Clip Studio is just the one that's always recommended it seems to I picked it by default. Didn't shop around, admittedly.
Reinbach
Nope! XD

Nothing surprises Switch anymore :)

Awesome! Glad you learned other than Adobe Skynet Umbrella Corporation! I’m curious though, fate of humanity aside, did you consider Affinity Photo? I switched to Affinity for basic photoshop stuff & workflow that I became accustomed to in CS6. Glad you have something that works for you!

Casey messed up and just used Switch’s real name.
Isaac Clarke
Can i just say how amazing it is that you created a world of characters that I genuinely care about, shit man this page makes this and the last story something like 800 pages long in total, that's dedication and talent, good job homie
Graci
Casey sticking her tongue out is surprisingly lovely! Now lets see how Bria reacts XD About the breasts size.....I think doing 3D stuff made super aware of the inconvenience, because in 3D you need to deal with them colliding with everything and causing problems all the time!

Bria just confused why Casey has a mommy now.
GregD
Also, goddamn love how adultly firm Bria is on demanding answers.

If you're shopping around for Photoshop replacements, have you looked at GIMP? Its free, which is the perfect price, though I don't know how it stacks up to Photoshop or CSP for ease of use or functionality.
Spam_Happy
I suppose Casey isn't used to the idea of Switch not knowing things about her life.
Lord Washington
maybe ill try clip studio. but ive really struggled going from physical paper to digital.
Lukas West
You made the right choice. Bristol has never met her so of course she's gonna be curious of a stranger Casey trusts completely.

I don't notice any change in art style with the new software. I'm glad it's working for you 👍 Anything that puts let's stress on you is a good thing.

"To me this page also reminds me once again what a nightmare it would be to have breasts like this in real life. They would get in the way of whatever you're trying to do constantly. " I was looking at the first panel and was like "I don't think I remember seeing a character this far back but Bria's proportions are insane to look at"
Slaughterbug
I mean, if anyone can help them in this predicament it's switch. And it's nice to see her and Bria finally meet.
Chris Davis
This is just *SO* Good!!! I can't wait for next week's page! Also, congrats on trying new software....I know it can be a challenge after knowing something else for so long, but I think it'll be worth it in the end..
Snizzlefit
Honestly I don't think Bria is all that standoffish. It's more like a healthy suspicion given the context and how strange Casey is acting. I think any normal person would be suspicious too, especially after the emotional rollercoaster Bria's been dealt with her pregnancy and all. And the way Casey's acting would certainly cause no small amount of confusion for any character incapable of breaking the fourth wall and reading Switch lol
KnightRider007
It may come across as insensitive, but from the audience’s POV, it’s also an *incredible* amount of growth for Casey to be able to sincerely *ask* for help! ❤️
alex baker
Very nice just to see switch interact with people in the real world also it looks great regardless of what software you use
