You know the sort of meme...

Part 17 Eye Contact

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude; read from left to right

The silence speaks so much in this page XD

I am sorry for the slow updates. I am trying. I finally achieved my dream of having at least two panels having mostly the same content XD Something not easy to do traditionally but it doesn't mean that this is easy either.

Do take care!

The animation and Kaeya's expressions are beautiful. He sure drinks that mug without hesitation. Love his eye widening realization haha xD thank you for sharing @meltesh28

"Hmm... Something tells me I need to tread carefully here... Let's see, it's got a lovely color, but how about the taste?"

[yunike-2021]

It's here! Excited for more! Thank you

Update: Fourth Contact

The bartender and man turned towards each other at the same time. Anticipating the interaction. Crimson eyes met lavender stars, both widened marginally as they made contact.

Part 16 Awkward

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude; read from left to right

Thoma's simple question cuts deep.

Hi guys... I know, I know. It's been months since I've updated rather than weeks. And this page's traditional art was done back then too! I just realized so many shortcomings while making this page: no idea how manga works, my lack of anatomy basics, digital art in general, so many things to think about, etc. My self-confidence got shot XD I apologize for the lateness.

But I truly aim to finish this comic, faults and all. Hope you guys are well! Stay safe

Part 15 Silent Struggles

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude; read from left to right

Thoma is finally standing up. Whew. But Kaeya has a lot of things to think about.

I didn't mean to disappear for so long... I fell into the rabbit hole of studying Manga making, how to plan a story, and how to get used to drawing digitally. This overwhelmed me so much that I suddenly just stopped. I didn't learn from my previous disappearance but I will finish this story! Expecting a lot of mistake since I'm still not used to digital art, especially tones, but I am trying.

Hope you guys are doing okay. Take care!

Part 14 Double Losses

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude; read left to right

Kaeya's perspective on things. And it's quite emotional. One page where I didn't draw Diluc

Uuuuh... hey lookie! A new page on a Friday night. I apologize for not finishing the traditional rough draft. I suddenly got inspired to try digital drawing and, golly, there were a lot of things I had to learn while working on this page. So I expect a lot of mistakes here and there. That and I might still juggle with how I present the story going forward. I hope you don't mind it too much.

I was planning on just sending just the digital page but I wanted to share the effort that I drew it traditionally first. As I have experienced both, are you guys okay with me continuing the story in digital style? Or do I stick to traditional for consistency? I see the pros or cons of both and, in all honesty, I'm confused as to how to continue...

Anyway, I hope you guys are doing well. Me, I'm just tired. Just got back from work XD Stay strong and take care!

Sneak peek of the next page...

I had a free day and lookie lookie! I drew this on a tablet! Finally taking my first steps into drawing digitally that is not basic shapes and lines. Slow but it's some progress, right??

...It just had to be Thoma still apologizing from the story "The Acting Was a Lie" Fancomic XD Paimon's just cute.

Hope I'm doing well. Enjoy and take care guys!

Part 13 Loving Fathers

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude; read left to right

Uploading a day early because I have rl stuff happening tomorrow.

I realized just as I drew this that I have no idea what Japanese families do together for fun... All my knowledge with anime and manga got temporarily forgotten and what's left is family drama... ahem

Uuuh, while drawing each page is challenging, I'm coming up with nothing for the next one! Help, Kaeya isn't cooperating with meeee >A< I'll manage somehow though... haha.

Hope you guys are doing well. Take care!

Part 12 I'm Used To It

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude

Basically a continuation from the previous page.

I couldn't do two pages. Honestly, I was stumped on what to draw... (that and I tried to draw digitally but it wasn't going well yet. Still, trying is a big step for me!)

Hope you are doing well. Take care

Part 10, 11 Pain

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude

I am very late... and I'm posting these with my phone... at work! (Shhhh!)

I tried to think of other angles when drawing the first scene... ended up with something similar to the Genshin manga... I hope it's okay

I am not familiar with Japanese culture other than from anime, so originally, I planned Thoma to do a half bow apology but inspiration hit me and ended up having Thoma doing a dogeza instead. I couldn't resist xD I ended up being lazy at some parts *coughAethercough*

I apologize for my slowness. With all the eat-only-veggies regime, exercise more, sleeping early, work, and reading fics/manga (okay one of them is not like the others xD)... I'm really trying to draw as much as I can in between. I hope you are all well and take care!

Part 08, 09 Bombshell

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude

I'm late by a day! But really, I was mostly distracted by playing Genshin all afternoon and couldn't stop. I pushed myself to draw two pages but it took an extra evening to erase the pencil marks and shade it (I have work during the day).

I enjoyed drawing Master Crepus here. How about you? I also made a mistake in the background. Can you guess what I did wrong? Or did I hide it well (I doubt that)?

Still doing my best to follow the source material. Hope you guys are doing well and take care!

Page 07 Going well

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude

Everyone is doing well :) Kaeya sees the success in Diluc's effort.

I drew all this on the spot XD No concepts, no planning. The original source isn't giving me ideas yet here we are. I guess I'm just gonna draw every two weeks. Still, for this page, proportions are so hard! I hope it's not too bad. What I get for not practicing...

We're heading to the next part of the story. Stay safe all!

Page 06 Aether's Mondstadt friends

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude

Thoma is so excited to meet the people Aether and Paimon mentioned in their stories. There... are... just... so... many... detailed... characters.... aaaah... It's just one line but I dared to do this.

I managed to draw all this somehow. Though erasing the pencil marks was risky XD I'm wondering if it still makes sense.

Hope you are well and take care!

Page 03, 04, 05 The Trio Arrives

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude (read left to right)

I finally found time to draw! Hi guys, hope you're enjoying your holidays. I hope putting three in one post is okay.

I think I'm no longer able to do a weekly page art like before. Life's been busy TT.TT But I WILL finish this comic. I'll just be slower... waaaah

Each of these pages are a challenge to draw because mainly... there are 5 characters with unique designs (and one more because Jean sneaked in)! Not to mention, I'm not an Aether player so I had to use the internet's images for reference XD I'm even forgetting how I drew chibi. I hope the story is still understandable. Trying to draw unique angles every time is its own adventure :P

So I hope everyone is doing great. Have a happy new year!

Page 02 Diluc the Bartender

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude (read left to right)

Can you tell this was drawn too quickly? In all honesty, I wasn't sure what to draw here XD I hope it's understandable. You tell me. Enjoy and take care!

Page 01 Diluc and smiling

"The Acting was a Lie" by SerenitySolitude (read left to right)

I missed last week's submission, I apologize! I had to go somewhere then. That and I struggled a little with my artwork. I'll really try my best to draw one page a week consistently. Sometimes discouragement just gets you...

Anyway, Diluc's working hard on his social skills starting with his smile XD I was planning on drawing Diluc's reflected version in the second panel but I forgot about that and drew him normally. I didn't want to erase the whole thing over that... haha. Kaeya's just observing him.

Hope you enjoy it and take care!
