I want to start off by saying i love the game. great storyline, amazing art work. probably one of my top favorites. i wouldn't mind seeing more a sandbox game in your style, once Trouble in Paradise is done. that said, keep up the good work. now, for the critique.
*SPOILER ALERT*
I'll try to keep the spoilers to a minimum, but Syko, for the "Anna's Secret" storyline, just a little art tip I learned back in high school (advanced art class). for bruises, you could try mixing purple with a little blue and red, in a 3-2-1 ratio with splotch brushes (that leave solid color in patchy bits, rather than smooth), then smudge it together. Not sure what program you use for your art, but, having used Krita, i've had good results for semi realistic bruises. may have more of an impact, for this already powerful storyline intro.
With that coloring, you should then be able to blend it, more or less, how you normally do. less blending for fresh, stark contrast bruises, and more for older bruises beginning to fade. Also, for the really old bruises, try mixing in more solid patches of yellow. Again, these are all suggestions. no harm, foul, or offense if you do or don't try it :).
*END SPOILERS*
that said, i'd be happy to help with spelling and grammar if you wish. but i'd hate to load up your comments section here.
