Thumb vs page

To compare, here's some thumbs from a recent fan comic project I did- since I didn't have to show this to an editor and it was just for me, they're a lot looser (and I also was able to halfway through drawing a page decide to stretch out pages/add more elements/etc etc etc)

(1/2) This would take place after the final confrontation/trial but before the Event ending scene...please excuse my messy handwriting >o<

(2/2) This is a much more polished sketch-writing pass than I normally do for a scene before thumbnails- (I think I had a lot of feelings about it at the time...?) but we ultimately cut it since it would flow weirdly. Still fun to look back on now!

really happy with this little metaphor I put in a comic writing presentation recently
