Didn't get a chance to comment before because my phone inexplicably logged me out, but I love how this turned out! You busted this out in a ridiculous amount of time, and it's a really delicate, nuanced looking comic-- collabs are fun and all, but seeing you working with lines and color that are entirely your own really shows how fine-tuned your style is. This is a really gorgeous, melancholy piece, and you know I'm a sucker for those MIllyfeather feels even if they don't end up together in the end. This is so sad after they had literally just managed to get back to friendship in the Valentine's battle, I can't wait to see what'll happen next in this entire situation!
Aaaaaa!! I've been so excited to see this finished! Poor Lily! D':
Your coloring has just been improving off the charts throughout your recent comics. I especially like how you handled the vibrant color pallet in the memory montage. From the thumbnail it actually looks like a cool stained glass window. For the more muted colors in pages 1 and 3, I notice that all of the colors have a very similar brightness so that if you desaturated the colors everything would be a very similar grey-tone. Making sure that characters and important objects contrast in brightness to their environment can do a lot to help guide the reader's eye and make the visuals clearer. Sometimes what I do is I make a hue/saturation/brightness correction layer that I can turn on and off and then set the saturation to 0 so I can just see what my comic looks like in black, white, and grey. Then I go in and lighten and darken different parts of the image while it's still all grey to make sure I have colors of differing lightness. Also, your character acting and expressions are really great, as usual :)
Good job getting this done so quickly after V-Day! Lilyfeather and Miller forever!!!!
I really enjoy the colors in this. A great reaction comic to the events that played out over the valentines day collab. My only critique is that I find the second page a bit awkward. I know what you were going for, but it oddly comes off misplaced? I see the panels falling apart like broken glass to represent old broken memories, but it might have played out better if the bottom half of the page was on it's own separate page.
Great job none the less, Space Mom!
