panel 1: a wide shot of Emi on the ground, holding her bleeding midsection-- Puff from off panel is saying "I am sorry, Taisce. i thought that i could talk some sense into her.

She can't do that by standing in the Core's way." panel 3: Taisce taking their hoodie off as Puff continues, "They're far too big an entity for a straggling number of the Sedition members to take out." panel 4: Taisce using their hoodie to apply pressure to Emi's wound, saying "You...shot her!"

Chapter Seventeen

A little peaceful palette-cleanser for y’all~

Update that i have a new website now! Skyvein will still be hosted here as always, but all my other artwork and things can be found there.

Next update will go up on March 26th!

a mostly full page spread with a black background. Three small rectangular panels trail down the page (Puff pulling her gun out, Taisce's face close-up looking alarmed, Puff pointing her gun), and then a wide shot of Emi being shot from behind, her face shocked and looking up as the laser pierces her torso, with a sharply written BANG behind her.

Volume 2, Page 132

That’s a wrap for this chapter… so sorry to leave you on this note, folks, and happy birthday, Skyvein…? T.T

We will be back to our regularly scheduled broadcasts with the cover to Chapter 17 on Wednesday, February 26th!

a double page spread depicting a large illustration of Emi's face as a child shouting. She has short red hair, bright glowing, fiery eyes, and is wearing a blue shirt. Shattering outwards from her face are a bunch of shattered panels of various sizes with images of the sky, a poisonfruit tree, various flowers/nature, the ocean, an image of Finnley standing in a room full of different types of potted plants, an image of Feng being hugged by a fat black person with shortish hair, an image of a young Feng with dyed black hair and a blue cap on, spray painting with Emi (only her hand holding a spray paint can is visible in the image) with the cut off word "Fuck" and the symbol for the Core, a panel of many, many firebirds flying in the sky, an image of a multi-hued eye, Feng but a bit older, and an adolescent Feng in a hoodie with Emi holding a first aid kit in the foreground. At the bottom right of this two-page spread is a wavy panel showing Taisce, looking at the camera with wide, concerened eyes and a hand slightly raised saying, "What did they do to you...?"

Volume 2, Page 130&131

Poor Emi…but i did have such a blast putting these shattered panels together.

One more page left in this chapter, and it’ll go up on January 22nd! (Not the normal schedule, but the 22nd is Skyvein’s birthday, and we do like to celebrate for it~)

The page is arranged in a series of wavy panels, each with a circle panel inside that has Emi's face in it. panel 1: an image of Emi breaking Taisce out of jail from the first time they met, from Emi's perspective, her hands outstreched in front of her with fire alight on them. Taisce is curled up with one hand on their head in alarm. Emi's face in the circle is of her winking and looking back. panel 2: Emi is tapping a pen on a tablet screen thoughtfully, on a desk scattered with papers and other writing implements. Emi's face in the circle is a contemplative Emi with her hair up in a bun. panel 3: Emi is holding a mirror and pointing, with a younger Feng in the background in a pink/purple dress with fishnet gloves on. Emi's face in the circle is her looking into a mirror putting make-up on, and looking younger, like a teenager. She has her side of her hair shaved and dyed black and is wearing fingerless fishnet gloves. panel 4: Emi is holding up a knife with blood on it, with a young Feng in the background rushing towards her and looking alarmed with his hand up, a bandage covering part of his face. They're in what looks like their same kitchen from their safehouse in Volume One. Emi's face in the circle is of a much younger Emi, maybe 11 or 12, looking into the knife's reflection with a gash on her cheek where she later has a scar. panel 5: Emi is holding hands with a puddle in the background and reflection of a building. Emi's face in the circle is of Emi as a kid, her hair cut short, no scar on her face, looking slightly blank into the puddle. Emi has pointed ears, light brown skin, fiery red hair, a scar on her cheek, and her clothes change depending on the panel and time period. Feng has pointed ears, long fiery hair falling past his shoulders, and a scar going diagonally across his right eye and face, with one light brown eye and one black eye.

We’re nearing the end of the chapter now, folks!

Unfortunately, with life and work things being what they are, time to work on the comic has been minimal and i’m going to have to keep updating at 1 page/month for probably the next chapter as well. This is a snails pace for me, and i desperately want this story to be out in the world sooner, but alas. We shall press on, and i deeply appreciate y’all’s patience and continued support!

Next page will go up Wednesday, December 25th!
