CONTEXT

Hello, this is the sixth Dev Diary of 'Discourse Under Duress', A comic inspired by and occuring in Eipril's universe. It's also inspired by a dream where I came across a memoir of a furry who fought in a war, got nuked, survived, went to college and got laid, that's as far as I was willing to read.

someone read the last diary, thanks. Note that I am obviously not affiliated with Eipril, if you are reading this, comment what you think.

THE ACTUAL DEV DIARY

Back on the grind it seems, I finished the third page and got started on the first, which was fun, the script goes for around 30 panels of differing sizes, a few pages have already been completed in the sense that I can start sketching on digital.

It's really a matter of keeping my head down, I've got 3-ish projects running, "Hunting in Hell" as it is called, "Discourse Under Duress" and the third one I can't remember, I think I've got an overload on creative projects.

I'm starting to doubt the idea of releasing all this at bulk, it feels like I'm not making any progress, but on the plus side I know that if I have all the sketches down, I can basically roll over it with the line-art and the color like as if I was making a normal youtube video, where I sketch everything and then line, color and shade.

When I finish the comic, properly, and all the pages are done, the final dev diary will be called 'Eipril: Discourse Under Duress' or maybe something else.

Here are some ideas for the release of Discourse Under Duress

1. I release it in Bulk, just onto the portal for everyone to see.
2. I release it weekly or something like that, so pages don't compete with each other for attention (also so I don't get reprimanded for spamming.)
3. I simultaneously work on finishing and sketching 2 different pages at the same time, this actually sounds like a good idea actually why am I not doing this.
4. I directly DM it to eipril and get banned for harassment.

VOTE NOW ON YOUR PHONES, and everyone voted so hard the palace caught on fire.

Should really stop thinking about the end of a project when I'm halfway through it, anyways, I want to dedicate the rest of this dev diary to the comic itself, here's the progress made + any commentaries I have.

• Page 3: modified panel lines
• Panel 4: modified a previous pose, merged them together.
• Panel 5: This one was a bit hard to do, but I ultimately got it done, still need to make full body references for Liz and Rou.

• Panel 1: was pretty easy to complete.
• Panel 2: ditto.
• Panel 3: will need to re-do.

Next steps include

1. complete Panel 3, Page 4.
2. complete the rest of the page.
3. ???
