OMGGG WAFHSDUHGFHSUDGUHSDHUG IM SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS COMIC OUT IN THE OPEN AHHAWEHRFAEGHUSDGH OMFGHGUHSDUH!!!!

FIRST OF ALL!!!! THE SCREEN TONES LOOK SO LOVELY??? I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THE SHADING JOB YOUVE DONE!!! I thinnk you captured the amber??? the display casse for the beetle so so cooly! Like even the lil cube of nothing has such a neato texture next to it >:O LMAO I love how sabo just absolutely SWIPES the beetle from underneath ace XD the way the WOAH bubble obscures his hand is a nice touch ahahahha

AHHH I THINK THIS LOOKS SO NEAT!!! WHAT A CLEVER USE OF SCREEN TONE!!!

Sabos expression is also really darling here ; u ;!!! he looks so babygirl im gonna strangle someone.

ik u alrdy showed us this BUT THE EFFECT HAS NOT WEAKENED SINCE I LAST SAW HIM. HES TOO CUTIE PATOOTIE WIDDLE HUNNY PIE OF MY LIFE IM GONNA HAVE TO SICK THE POLICE ON TO U. START RUNNING

ACES RIZZ IS INSAAANEEE HERE WHATTESHTUSUHETT. HE LOOKS SO GOOD WITH THE BRIGHTLY COLOURED EYES. HIS LIL TEETH. WHAT WATUHSDHUTSHUDT??? pfeotdrt i love ace giving classic exposition npc dialogue rn as his intro this is lowkey hilariuous to me resiusdgodf

oh. ogmhyfgh. stop. this. I TOTALLY FORGOT THIS WAS A REUNION COMIC AND THE ABSOLUTE GOBSMACKED LOOK ON ACES FACE ALSO CAUGHT ME COMPLETELY OFF GUARD. FOR A MOMENT BOTH ME AND SABO WERE FILLED WITH THE UTMOST CONFUSION AHAHHA

ahhhh i think this whole page is so clever!!! the way you blur the text and have him blurry eye glance at all of sabos key features,,,,, CRAVAT. PIPE. GOGGLES.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOIL A MAN INTO HIS ESSENTIALS WHY DONT U XDDD we're so lucky sabo never grew out of his cravat and pipe phases pffiretfdt. I think what you've done with the screentones in the bg looks downright GNARLY, it rlly enhances that rushed BUH effect ur going for me thinks! And I think the goggles look soooo god. like the shading looks so crisp and nice, and the pointy lil star on one side and baby sabo on the other is like, maximum big brain stroke of genius, UR INSANE for this, CRACKED, even. BONKERS LITERALLY MAD SCIENTIST JOKER MODE CRAYYYZAYY

(side note to say that i still havent gotten over how friggin cool ace looks in this comic i adore how youve drawn like, ACTUALLY the both of them here, omfg)

I think the perspective here is so cool and funky!!! its a great way to throw us into the action of the conflict by having everything pan out so dramatically like this as well! the person in the bottom left hand corner is so mecore XD

and nooo sabo, u totally shud have stopped,,,, like,,, da beetle,,,, ya kno????

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE BEETLEE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

also lmafosidjiogdf i love how indignant ace was at being called out. how convenient that rando marine called out for the hat guy and they both happen 2 be wearing iconic hats XDD. why not say the PIPE guy, or the CRAVAT guy, cmon random marine y u gotta b so joke convenient ahahah

I love the way ace blasts up to the roof!!! ahhh and the lil stalls at the bottom add sm dang dimension to the whole thing!!! You're giving a real good sense of 3 dimension with this comic so far im suuuuper digging it omfg

ah man. this page is so sick. i remember thinking this page was sick months ago but i really love how youve touched it up!!! The way youve faded between the first and second panel is really cool, and the perspective looks INSANELY INSANEEELY good in the second panel. gahhh omg, is that doggie down there ; u ;??? DOGGGIEEE WAHHH SO CUTTEEE. wait. wait. do i recognise that freak? wait. holy shit.... its doombringer

IM GONNA END IT ALL U CANT DO THIS T O T!!!! this may be inappropriate timing but i rlly like how uve drawn aces tiddies here!!! and just all the curves of his torso, it looks vry satisfying n dimensional to me OuO!!! anyways im absolutely devastated and the way his lil speech bubble line droops is killing me. and the way he goes to politeness, like hes, referring to a stranger, and not his brother, like, its killing me, its killing him too, i know its killing him. END ME!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO SABO LOOKS SOOO HEARTBROKEN HERE WRHATFGHUSDUGHSUHDFGHUSD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE KNOWS SOMETHING IS WRONG. ACE ISNT SUPPOSED TO BE COURTEOUS TO HIM. AND HE DESPERATELY DOESNT WANT ACE TO GO AWAY BUT HE DOESNT KNOW WHY HE FEELS THIS WAY. WHY IS THE SHADING GOING SO HARD IN THIS SCENE WTFFF ITS OVVERRR FORR MEEE WAHTGFSHUDGHSDFG.

WHUAUFGUDSGUSDG I WAS SOOO HAPPY HERE TOO WARASFHUDSUH!!! BUT GODDD THE USE OF THE STRIKING RED HERE IS SOOO EFFECTIVE!!! I ABSOLUTELY ADORE WHAT YOUVE DONE WITH SABOS GOGGLES IN THIS COMIC, THEY LOOK SOOO FUNKY OMFG ITS SO GOOD. THE RED WITH THE SPIKE ON THE LEFT LOOKS SO METAL I CANT EVEN PUT INTO WORDS HOW GOOD THE EFFECT IS!!! AND THE FACT THE SABOS SCAR IS ALSO BRIGHT RED??? THE SYMBOLISM HAS 8 CASUALITIES DEAD IN A DITCH AND ONE OF THEM IS ME

Beetle Brothers Comic

Chapter 1

WOW!!!! this took a long-ass time, literally ive been working on it on and off for over a year now, and i have a lot more for it, but i wanted to post this on my biiirthdayyyy!!! Eveyone has to wish me a happy birthday or else im not making the upcoming chapters~

i dont know when im gonna get the rest of it posted, but this comic is the main reason why a couple wittb hiatuses happened lol

I'm gonna work on the next part of this little by little so that my attention is focused on wittb for now. i prob couldve gotten more of this done if i hadn't went on vaca but whhhatevaaa~ (or if i didnt have to work but i dont have control over that) besides, I'm sure if i had used that full time draw it, my hand would be attatched to my wrist with duct tape, a dream and a prayer. Even with what i have now, it look me about 51 hours to complete, crasy.

Most of the time I spent working on this went to figuring out angles of hats, pipes, background, and face angles. Bashing my head against a wall over those.

I'm takin it easy now however! i am bummed that i didn't get to The Goods in this post though.
