I'm dumbfounded that this page actually looks good. I needed a time-passage montage, and that just is a weak concept.
I procrastinated drawing the boring thing. Then I came up with this idea of showing Kaida and Fudo passing the time. But my pencil art was so bad. Like REALLY bad. I erased so much that it messed up the shading, and none of the lines were straight.
I ended up digital editing and redrawing everything. It took a full day, and Corel kept crashing and corrupting layers because the latest version of Paint Shop Pro is garbage. I was terrified it would corrupt beyond repair. Felt like a race. Anyway, the line art was finally salvaged, and somehow the coloring ended up pulling everything together, so I'll ring in 2025 with a success hard fought through bad line art and antagonistic software.
Oh, and my poseable figures arrived. I'm going to try to improve my figure drawing. And I'm going to try to apologize less and own my successes. I guess those are my 2025 goals.

Everything looks like boobs if you are creative and/or horny.

I half expected the city lights to spell something out. Too much Will Eisner's Spirit splash pages. ;-)

I don't have the energy or creativity for that. Just use pareidolia to see something clever. 😅
