Could be...could be we had been seeing it through Jack's eyes until the end ;) (no, I can't honestly claim to be that clever. But you give me some ideas for future arcs if I return to this comic :3)

Nice job! The cover art is especially nice. The art gave me a storybook vibe.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The cover was originally for a zine put on by someone in a forum I'm a part of. It was for her students in 2020. Since they didn't get to go Trick or Treating, she laid out a printable zine for the kids to enjoy at home :3 Kinda kicked off the project, since I had so much fun.

The cover on this is really charming! Did you do this traditionally? It looks kinda like alcohol marker and ink. ^-^

Developer(+2)

Thank you! Yes, I did this on Bristol with dip pen, brush and ink (sumi ink washes), colored Dr. Ph Martin's yellow ink, and Sakura gel pen. Some Kasey Golden videos inspired the background lining. I had a lot of fun drawing it.

ooo, that's really cool! That process sounds like a lot of fun and the end result was really nice!
