I really like the rough look you got going on here, especially in the bits with rim lighting!! However, some of the angles--especially when Raven is opening the portal to the beach--feel a little... counterintuitive? It honestly took me a couple readthroughs to figure out what was happening there lol. I think it's because it looks less like she's opening a portal and then stepping through it, and more like she's casting light or something?
Story-wise, I do like this introspective tone, but I think for me it's getting a little repetitive? like, Raven's story has had a lot of these "I'm a monster, I don't deserve people caring about me, I only bring pain to those around me" moments, which by themselves I don't have a problem with, but I'd like to see something new! It feels like there's been a lot of setup but no payoff yet? But hey! Hopefully this will lead to a progression in her story, I'm interested in seeing what comes of this cliffhanger *eyes emoji*

Damn, this is such a beautiful style! Incredible work!

I forgot to comment while this was in voting ><;; BUT THIS CAME OUT AMAZING! I love this new style youve been working with and I hope its faster so we can see more art from you! The broad strokes are so SEXY in your style~ and i love the reds and greens at the end. Gorgeous work!!!

Thank you so much to all of you! I am very glad this experimentation is well-received. I'll try to make more comics with this style (and hope to improve as I go)  as I also enjoyed the process very much. <3

This is my first time seeing a fully comic in this painterly style and it looks amazing.

Your rendering is on point as always, and I'm glad that you've found a style that you can get done within a week! Hope to see you apply this workflow to your future stories.

You've been kicking ass with this gorgeous painterly style!

Rivana, this is SO lovely~! You should teach a lecture on how you make your art look so traditional ! very moody , as well

feels like a magazine add for a new book coming out next fall?

I enjoyed this style exploration!  Looking forward to what happens next.

Also LOOK OUT RAVEN! BEHIND YOU! 😱

This new style works so well for you! I love how you took advantage of it to create such beautiful borderless panels that are clearly delineated by color and visual hierarchy despite blending into each other. Just 😩👌 excellent work!

Love that the thumbnail is a doorway

Your hard work and dedication shows Riv! This looks AWESOME!

AHHH This was SO beautiful riv!

RIV IM GONNA EXPLODE
