Description
Panel One: Narration - "I had trouble getting us food." Cal is bracing himself in the doorway of a dark room full of tall refrigerator units. He thinks, "Huh? The freezer's off?"
Panel Two: A dark pantry with shelves that are mostly bare. What little is left is rotting and covered in flies. Cal sighs.
Panel Three: Cal kneels beside a large pile of logs, trying in vain to set them on fire. He thinks to himself, "C'mon... Did it rain? I swear I had it going earlier." In the background is a large woodpile in front of a barn. The blonde man is peering at Cal from behind the wood pile. There is a bucket next to his feet. Narration - "I couldn't even keep the signal fire lit."
Panel Four: Narration - "My little sister kept getting worse." Cal stands alone in the middle of an empty street. He thinks, "Are we all that's left?" He still has his blanket wrapped around his shoulders and he has a basket of goose eggs. Narration - "I tried to save her."
Author Note
I know, I know, it's still sad and it's late, but I was kind of distracted, because last Tuesday was my Birthday!
Whoo! ^_^ Also we got our stimulus checks, so there was a flurry of celebrating and adulting to be done. I got some manga, paints and other art supplies, including some cash to spend on more assets in Clip Studio Paint. I grabbed some things that helped speed this along, actually. The next page shouldn't take a whole week and a half because the layout is a lot simpler than this page. *Not Really a Spoiler > It's a single-page splash image. < End Hardly-Spoiler*
So all in all, last week was busy but a lot of fun. I've having a good time on Twitch, so if you'd like to see me work on the pages and chat about art or whatever, look me up! I usually start around 11 pm EST and my handle is Rabbit_Dance_. There's also a link in the sidebar.
