Of course Cyndi!
For the story of this extra comic update, I wasn't sure whether I wanted it to be Trickster or Sagittarius who went around the festival with Cyrus and Xisea, but I thought of a way to include both of them, which was to have Trickster be the character running the HoT booth! It also gave me some time to show Cyrus and Sag interacting, which we'll get more of in upcoming chapters.
Another thing I wanted to include in this comic were some other Tapastic comics that I like that weren't part of our collab group. They are Boulder and Fleet, Sharp Zero, DeadEndia and Jubee Sweetz. I like these comics and I knew I would run out of booths to draw... I did draw all the collab's booths but some of them are covered up by characters XD
When it came to drawing and coloring the comic, I was in a bit of a time crunch, so I cheated a bit on the color palette. I went to google and searched "winter lights" or something and found a picture that I think is of the Watertower downtown (in Chicago) that had pretty colors. Then I stuck the photo in a color palette generator website that takes images and creates two color palettes, like this:
I ended up combining the two color palettes for my comic. Here's the end color reference:
It was fun to work on this project but also very challenging! Haha! Maybe next year it won't be such a challenge because I will have graduated college.
