Jack gladly accepts Julie’s offer after she reveals she’s been preparing herself for him.
I actually had trouble deciding how I wanted to do this page. I had a few options, and I mostly had to work them out while drawing to see what I liked, and that made it take longer than hoped. Now I’ll get to lining and coloring it after I finish some work.
Here is the sketch for page 179 of Chain Reaction. Julie switches to a position where she can hit harder and faster for the final blow.
I was on good time this week, but then had to get some dental work done on a cracked tooth and that led to a bad day. But everything for this week is resolved so I’ll now go straight into lining then coloring this page.
Katie is in a hurry to try what she just saw, but Julie reminds that she must proceed with caution.
I have this page largely lined as well, I just didn’t upload this sketch because I was trying to speed through things without stopping. I have to pause for a bit, but I’ll get right back to finishing this page as soon as I’m done handling a few things.
Julie tucks Katie back in and gives Jack strong motivation to be on his best behavior.
As the bottom-right corner indicates, this is the final page for this scene. That means up next is resuming Sultry Summer. I’ll be taking a week to do some Ben 10 illustrations first, as I clear up some scripting to get myself started, but to also get some practice on the style again before jumping back into it.
