READ NO FURTHER GOOD PATRONS, for there be spoilers, aka the whole comic
2! this is the first draft of Smolder Scrolls 2 (tentatively named "Smash at Snowclad Pass" which will definitely be changed before I make the cover), so I've already done revisions on this comic and the final version will have a few changes!
BUT MAYBE YOU LIKE TO SEE HOW A THING CHANGES IN IT'S MAKING SO I CAN TREAT YOU TO THESE SMOOCHY THUMBS LETS GO
(Notes, Page 1: Bausan hadn't been fleshed out too much as a character and a lot of my thumbnails tend to be very slapdash, oof)
(Notes, Page 2/3, Bausan, a human fighter, Autumn, a tabaxi rogue, and their halfling wizard face an impasse. Offering a good smash works somewhat better in Autumn's favor. I wasn't too fond of her being a little passive aggressive to Bausan just because it felt too cliche. Also Autumn getting scared on the other side of the door felt antithetical to her approach, so that is changed in revisions.)
(Notes, Page 4/5: Although a few of these panels won't be changed, Autumn reacting to Ullrath's "request" line felt a little off. I wanted Ullrath to read as intimidating, but this didn't feel like the right path for the characters to go.)
(Notes, Page 6/7: As I figured out what this chapter is "about" it ended up feeling like the themes of the story is "sex as intimacy" and "relating to non-reproductive sexual desires" [does that make sense?]. Ullrath presents very masculine in public, but their desires and emotions felt very feminine. Granted, I wrote the character as intersex after a few iterations in my mind. A number of things changed in this scene, to be closer but Autumn asking to cross that final point of physical intimacy felt appropriate to them building a relationship of sorts/the scene.)
(Notes, Page 8/9: Look I'm a sucker for The Lotus position and positions like it. INTIMACY OOF!)
(Notes, Page 10/11: In the revisions I added another page 3/4ths of the way into page 10. The Scene seemed to move a little too quickly, and putting a little more passionate interaction before going for the clit felt better. Page 11, Panel 6, I figured for pacing there needed to be something said, so that came in the revision.)
(Notes, Page 12/13: Cut to Bausan and the Halfling wizard quick, PACING REASONSSSS
I wasn't expecting Bausan to have character development but hey there it goes.)
(Notes, Page 14/15: OOF rough doodles please forgive. Jumping back to the SMOOCHES with a little magic.)
(Notes, Page 16/17: Now that we've had the smoochin' Autumn gets a chance to talk about her desires even if they get misinterpreted.)
(Notes, Page 18/19: Oof please forgive the great rendering in these panels, the party is walked to a cave entrance. I had a few changes to Autumn in these last pages. Her anger felt a little too melodramatic, so I tried to adjust later on. I mean, she is a little justified but it's not really the tone I was going for.)
(Notes, Page 20/21: Well yes, a few changes are made to this one. But I'll just say the changes I choice for these pages are a little more slight and added more context?)
Anyways! Hope you enjoyed these thumbs, but I hope you'll be ready and raring to READ SOME SMOOCH COMICS SOON! I just need to figure out some clothing designs oh dear! Thanks for your support!
