The initial excitement has faded a bit, which is a good thing because now I'm in a better headspace to approach this comic calmly.
One idea I have now is to add a rough outline of what the protagonist thinks they look like and have the text boxes point to the spots feeling extra weird. This allows me to shorten the descriptions, too, which suits a comic better.
I think I can show you this without spoiling a lot since it's very much in flux. This is how I plan the comic for the next x pages. It's writing the story and making sketches rolled into one step.
I wish Affinity had some more options for guide lines that aren't just horizontal or vertical. You can set up a grid of any shape, but it isn't the same.
I probably also like to wing my projects because I have zero qualms about throwing away intermediate results. I still had fun working on them and learned something, and maybe they're still useful in some way, so that's fine by me.
I think I mentioned it before, but I find it super weird if a reincarnation story starts with birth and the person can already think like a fully grown adult. It makes way more sense to me to use a brain development milestone as entry point.
