A bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I don't want to say too much for fear of spoilers, but to quote my favorite wizard: "The board is set. The pieces are moving."

I'm pleased with most of the art in this one!

Oh, and I'm really eager for your thoughts on this episode! 🙂

Gosh Emory, sometimes it’s all too easy to forget just how many strands there are to this multi-faceted story. I reckon that your storyboard must resemble a massive spider’s web, which is not only sinister but highly appropriate. As this episode progressed I got a building sense of foreboding which was vindicated in the final half dozen frames, with Connor’s/Connie’s fate seemingly sealed and Jill’s father sailing right into the dragon’s jaws. I can’t help feeling that once those snap shut and Xu has the whole family in his control, that it could well be game over. Except that Jill, Ryan, Emily and a few others, including our indomitable artist and author, may have other thoughts on the matter. Once again, Emory, the art is outstanding, especially the use of shadow and the facial detail, but for me it continues to be primarily about the plot development and your exceptional skill at managing the psychological twists involved at every turn. It’s tremendous stuff. xxx

Thank you, Robert! You've just given me a marvelous image of my own creative process - you should see my office wall. It is indeed teeming with character arcs and plot twists. 😂 The game isn't over yet. We'd need more than a simplistic board with checkered squares for this plot. It’s more like a 3D chess played on multiple boards at the same time. Jill, Xu, Davis, Ryan, Emily... each with their own moves to make, their own gambits to consider. Second Dawn might seem overpowering now, but remember, every sunrise follows the darkest of nights, and these characters, like you’ve so thoughtfully recognized, are nothing if not resilient. They’ve so much fight left in them! Your kind words about the art, the shadows, and the facial detail brought a wide smile to my face. Thank you so much! 💖
