Ravager Worm Act II ii

This is the offending page that delayed act II. Now it's here, on the internets. You better fucking like it, because i fucking hated working on it. I only finished this page so the next one would make sense and i'm not a big fan of the next one either (which i'm planning to post Friday if i don't end up stabbing it Brutus-style right in the fucking chest, burning its corpse, and burying the charred remains under the deck.

Its heart i'll just feed to the dog. She'll love it).

It's not that i didn't enjoy writing this page and the next, i did. I loved writing and researching the stuff about sexual cannibalism (those are Australian Redback spiders btw), but not a whole lot actually happens on this page. Basically it's just a bunch of people watching tv. The trick is to make the art as interesting to reader as possible, though the characters' body language and facial expressions as they react to what they're watching.
I fucking HATE talking head comics and web comics are notorious for that so i try to avoid that as much as possible, but some of the best comics are the ones that can tell a whole story with subtle changes in a characters physical expressions. Kevin O'Neil comes to mind.
All right i'm tired and i'm obviously ranting. So i'll see you Friday, unless, you know, i slit my wrists with the nearly imperceptive ragged edge of page three.

EDIT: Yeah i know i said i'd update the next page Friday, but i ended up spending the entire evening with my dad and got none of the work i planned to do done. So Monday. The next update will be Monday, i swear.
