I don't want anyone to see this as a way of punishing Daval. This is genuinely meant to be a gift.
When I first decided to commission Daval, I always intended to share these artworks with everyone. However, he told me that he preferred to keep his commissions private and not have them posted publicly. I told him I understood and that I would respect his wishes.
My plan was to continue commissioning him and slowly build a short series for myself.
Like many others, I became really invested in Lana, but I wanted to see something beyond the same repetitive scenes with Daniel. Don't get me wrongāthe first chapters of the comic were fantastic.
At the beginning, working together was great. We talked a lot, exchanged ideas regularly, and everything seemed very promising. The first two illustrations were finished only about a week apart. The third one took much longer, but by the end of 2025 it was finally completedājust not in the format I had originally envisioned.
That wasn't a big issue. We agreed on a few revisions, and I paid extra to have additional viewpoints of the final scene, featuring Lana and the two villains outside the store.
After that, things gradually started to fall apart. I don't want to get into the details.
I know I've probably burned my bridges with Daval by doing this and by making everything public. Unfortunately, what's done is done.
I'm still on Discord, hoping he'll message me one last time so we can at least part on good terms.
Feel free to download the artwork and share it on other forums and websites. I paid for these commissions, and I believe I have the right to make them public.
