This Romantic World Page 325 (Patreon)

This right here is likely the most amount of blood you'll ever see me draw in the entire comic. I don't generally like drawing violence (especially if women are involved) but I thought her hand had to look at least moderately hurt or this whole page would be unlikely to land as intended. 

I put a lot of consideration into how someone like Liz would handle a heavy dose of unexpected bad news. In the end, I settled on the old staple of "bottles up emotions only to erupt over something trivial." She was going to break something, that much I knew from the start. Her dad is a hulk-monster after all. I thought it fitting to see some of that in Liz when she's genuinely distressed. 

But what do you think of the page? Is this a bit too serious for TRW? I try to avoid inflicting tonal whiplash if I can, and I'm counting on you guys to stop me if I start to drift in that direction. I hope you look forward to some Liz/Bria bonding in any case!
