Same here, this is looking very interesting.

What is it about awesome male

What is it about awesome male characters and falling off cliffs? Do they exert some sort of gravitational pull? Is it the government? Aliens?? The world may never know.

Of course the art is stunning. The way you make overcast skies is perfect and I'm going happily crazy admiring all the strokes you used, especially on the grass. It's interesting how it goes from implied lines for deer!Eph to human!Eph having an outline.

I KNEW IT Hah, I was

I KNEW IT
Hah, I was expecting something like how the lines symbolize the physical solidarity of this experience as compared to the dream-like vagueness that he experience in the Forest (or.. something I don't know). That's cool though that it's old and new stuff c: I'm wiggling around in my chair for more.

“Ephiré, look out behind you, there are bad guys!”

Yup, I’m that person in the movie theater. This is looking good though. Looks so simple but at the same time those angles and differences in perspective are very artful. Love it.

Can’t wait to see the next part.
