The first draft was a spread, but as you can see it's been divided. I'm really going to enjoy inking this. It's gonna be a fun experiment with contrast and colour.

We mentioned in a previous post that we're swapping roles. Inks by Mika and colours by Elli. This page was revised fairly late. Panel amount remained the same but pacing changed slightly.

Bit of a patchwork of bits this one! Muted the colours down.
