Here we are. Zee End. It took more than 2 years to do this remake. Started in december 2018, finished in right now twenty-twenty-now.
So I wish I would have posted this yesterday buuuut... The vaccine shot did make me sick. Not paralysingly sick, I only had a 38.2 degrees celsius fever (I'll let you translate that in whatever imaginary measure you americenglishican use), some shivers, unable to sleep that night, soreness. But I could draw. I couldn't finish it in time tho, I also couldn't have done page 127 in time either. You wouldn't believe how long it takes to just write. That's what took long on that page, writing. Oh yeah, those are the same lyrics from the old page, it's taken from Sonoio - Enough ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dmB8_yR2rk )
So what's there to say about the pages themselves ? Well, not too much about 125. I removed Larsen's tears cos they were useless, altho it's a decision made long ago whenever I redid page 126. Otherwise, since I moved the second panel slightly, there was a little more room for the 1st panel so there's more Zee bum in there. Which I think is always notable and a change for the much better. I also added some blur to give an impression of depth with Zee, altho truth be told Larsen is lsightly blurry as well to a much much MUCH lesser degree, the point was to make the panel look softer. Which is also why it doesn't have a definite panel layout like it used to, to make it feel like Larsen is in fact growing softer and opening up.
It's the kind of things where I'm not expecting people to try to overinterpret why I do things the way I do and put it into words, it's more there to be felt.
126 was redone long ago as I said, altho I did make Zee's jaw a little less thin and colored the cloud at the bottom differently ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/disintegrity-126-27446154 if you want to see what the original remade looked like, basically the same)
I changed the clouds color cos they bled into the last page wherein you could see clouds. But that last page sucked assssss, it's one of those I whipped in 5 minutes back in the day, except for the text which I'm certain also took me forever back then. I kept the same general idea when remaking it tho cos, well, I didn't wanna redo page 126's background. So instead I recolored the clouds, added hearts here and there and there, gudenuff.
So the general idea is still that there's a crack in the clouds and the rain is not pouring anymore, to echo that Larsen is opening and everything, very artistic stuff yaknow. Also his pants are flying in there cos... uuuuuhhh... Cos Larsen's pants have been opened up and he feels lighter for it. Which is also why the clouds now open in a round fashion towards the moon, cos that's thematically relevant to the comic where Larsen's moon was quite opened.
Anyway. That's that. Now I said I was gonna do the monkey comic next but I still don't have a proper story to guide me through it,I'm sorry. I just don't feel like what I've written is good enough. So I might do another short comic in the meantime and try out stuff about the shading, not sure of who yet. Or maybe I'll just stick with the sidilink one.
In other news, I bought a new PC. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow. Which means that it'll probably take me a little while setting it up properly (altho it is pre-built soooo maybe it'll be quick ?) plus I still have a three comic pages commissioned work to do sooo... it might take me a while until the next Zeld page.
Til then, I'll keep posting the HD disintegrity page as they become public everywhere so it'sn ot like I won't keep you up to date

I always got so bothered in other pages where the couch was unrealistically big and here I go, doing the same thing again... Anyway thanks ! Glad it's over !

First panel of 125 - even though that I'm pretty sure that amount of back arch is going to send Zee to a hospital, I'm so glad it's in there. Also, I chuckle at how massive the couch they're on appears in this panel. And for 127, I'm definitely proud of myself for picking up on the subtle allusions of anal sex ;) Seriously though RVB. Fantastic work. Amazing comic has become even more amazing. Proud of you for seeing it through. Huge pats on the back.

Thanks proud of me I'll pat myself on the back real hard Altho I must mentinon that all bubbles were tweaked in some way. The upped ones were redone to look cleaner and the bottom one has a blur effect added around it But I know what you mean, the thinner linework and orange hue on Zee just make a bif difference

yeah, the panels definitely read better this way - funny how you can keep the word bubbles the same, but changing the art behind them really has an impact on readibility! also you did it!!! congratulations!
RodVonBoche
I'm glad you liked it ! I'm also glad the last page works better cos the original last page was quite terrible and "lacking in atmosphere" is the best way I can put it
RodVonBoche
Thanks ! I'm pretty happy with it, just wish it would have taken less than 2 and a half years to complete but it's not much more from other comics I suppose

That was a tremendous work and so much fun and awe to watch the process and the outcome. Also, that last page is marvelous in the new version. I didn't pay attention to it in the old version, but now it is a fantastic ending to the story.

Also if ever there was a page where you wanted an explanation of the changes, it's in there : https://www.patreon.com/posts/33814041 And if it's not in there, it means it's so old I wasn't explaining stuff when I first posted it...
