Bali's Late Day

I think a lot of people can relate to Baltimore's waking up late every day... 

I'm happy to finally bring this to you all! This was the big project I've been working on for 8 months now! I've finally made my first attempt at doing manga style paneling! I know it's not quite a manga, but I definitely tried to be as close as possible! The hardest part was figuring out the paneling for it all and how to make it blend together, hence why it took so long. I also had some issues with the characters used here, but I did manage to fix them for the most part. I have an idea for a sequel comic for Baltimore later down the road, if you guys like this one enough! 

Btw, Baltimore is from a series called Azure Lane. I've never read it myself, but her character design was interesting so I really wanted to use her for this piece! 

Some notes about this story: 

I had the basic concept of the story mapped out, but the details didn't come to me as easily as I thought they would. It's always tricky writing for characters you don't really know a lot about or have any background information for them. It's one of the reasons I stopped using my DOA models. 

During the scene in front of the school gate, I was supposed to have a car drive by and almost see her, but I couldn't quite get that to look good due to it being a still image. I'm hoping my editing skills will improve enough one day so that I can make my shots look more dynamic. 

While I'm not a particular fan of the "naked with shoes" side of ENF, I figured I rarely do it, so this could be something good for those who enjoy that concept. Speaking of... Ignore the fact that I forgot her socks during the final part. I forgot which version of the model I was using and realized it too late XD

If I do another attempt at a manga style comic, I'm gonna let the paneling flow naturally to me instead of trying to plan it out, which is why this took so long to finish.
