I hope nobody had their hopes up for several pages of intense basketball action. Instead, we’re skipping the action to get right to the action. I don’t think Maki’s going to put up with this from Yoinks for long, though, so expect things to slow back down a bit in the next page.
So this is an idea I had a while ago, but never did anything with. I couldn’t tell you where it started, but the image of Maki and Yoinks playing some one-on-one just felt kinda right to me. I didn’t have anywhere to use the concept, really, but after doing Closing Time I decided to try and make this work following the approach I did for that comic. This page is a little more complex than any I did for Closing Time, and it won’t be the way the rest of the comic looks, but I wanted to get some stuff out of the way so the rest of the pages can be focused on the action.
And this wraps up our little experiment. I think this approach to comics does work pretty well in allowing me to get pages out relatively quickly without interrupting other projects. However, it is a bit limited in the types of pairings I can do with it, I think. Nonetheless I will probably try other comics like this in the future. I have another in the works right now, which ironically enough involves a different Jujutsu Kaisen character, but for now I hope y’all enjoyed Closing Time as much as Tiana did.
With the first Ask of this block I mentioned the Subscriber was looking for a different pairing, and this was it. While I couldn’t really justify doing anything with Nobara and Power for that Ask, a Dare is different. I had a bit of an idea for how they might banter, and thought it’d be fun to see play out.
