I figured out that I haven't been making proper use of foregrounds, which has thrown off the forest setting. Anyway, a couple of trees helped a lot in panel 1. I honestly wasn't sure how I'd fit everything I wanted into this page. Somehow, it all came together. I hope the action/monologue is clear. (It looks fine to me, but I am not an objective party.)
I reserved half a table for DWEX in August. Hope I can get the time off for it (especially after I get plane tickets @_@).
Oh, and I tried my hand at sewing this weekend.
ghostrunner: I think; therefore, I am.
LanceDanger: Speed demon! XD
Anubis: The trouble comes when you deal with people who are experienced in body disposal. -_-
Tantz: Seiko's pretty determined for sure! Her initial rescue mission has gotten complicated.
DAJB: Well, it's Raidon's car. Celes is (or was – this might be grounds for firing…) his chauffeur.
amanda: Why should he? He offered her a place to spend the night and seemed sincere enough. He doesn't know she has a “ride.” Besides, he probably has someplace he needs to be seen. XD
Peipei: Could be. Or maybe he's just cocky and either doesn't care what she does or didn't predict her suspicion. (He has a history of underestimating people – or overestimating himself.) – Or it could be something else altogether.
JNP: The rewrites work! Huzzah! I always ponder inner monologue. Yuki never has enough of it. (Though I think she mostly hums songs in her head.)
blntmaker: UB characters always wear seat belts! – Unless I forget to draw them. :)
Gael: Oh, we'll see Fudo again – but I can't guarantee his condition.

Ah, yes some cars with weird switches that only sort of make sense after you've read the operators manual. I like how you handled Seiko regaining the gaps in her memory. I'd like to go to DWEX but Portland Zine Symposium is the week after and I pretty much have to go to PZS. As fun as it sounds to do two shows in as many weeks, combined with traveling to and from Texas might actually kill me. Love the Jiro plushie.

I really like your last panel. Very dramatic.

The layout with the dialogue bubbles is fantastic! You get a cinematic feeling for the "sideways" dialogue.

This page is really sucks you into the scene! I love the way it's all meshed together =D The dialogue/monologue is really immersive! Nice touch with the wipers too.

I think cows would make better roads than humans actually xD! j/k :p I wonder where that road leads to, anyhow...

I think cows [i]should[/i] make roads. Make them work for all that grass they stand around eating. Lazy blighters! Also, having hired several cars over the years, I entirely sympathise with her windscreen-wiper/headlight predicament!

nice work O.o

Lol, there's a lot of crazy roads like that here in PR XD Many times there actually are a cow or two chilling around, depending in what area you go to XD
