do you still think about it, page 35 [sketch] [end]

well, it's finally over. i'll be working on the edits necessary for drop-out, so i can finally put that to rest, and then i'll be starting work on catharsis in earnest.

ironically, i don't think i have much commentary for this page! this comic was really different from how i pictured it initially, but that's par for the course for comics.... it was really enjoyable to build on characters who already have established stories.

for the video game -- it turns out ants just pile up their eggs somewhere until they hatch. i decided to have the character respawn in some kind of hive, instead of at a burrow like in a rain world, to bring more of an insect vibe to the character. i imagine each empty honeycomb is from dying one time. i might go back and edit it to the amount of times sugar imagined committing suicide in the comic!

mainly what i aimed for with the altered ending is still sort of a somber tone, but focusing on something different in the end. ultimately, sugar's feelings are much more about lola than they are the game -- either the video game, or what the game represents. it felt more fitting for lola to react aiming to placate sugar's Anguishes, and it felt more fitting to end on the two of them curled up with each other like on page 10.

anyway. that's that on that!
