i have been having such a good time drawing these past few chapters and i'm honestly really proud of the result. now there's only ~100 pages to go (which sounds like a lot but it's really not) and the ending has never felt so close !!!

Alex Assan @alexassan.com · 11d

just queued up the rest of the pages of the chapter! once it's over shaderunners will unfortunately be going on break again :( but hopefully, maybe the final one??

Shaderunners page 369 vs page 678, revisiting the opera incident.

A page from the webcomic Shaderunners depicting a scene where Ezra explains the plot of an opera to Domigo.

A page from the webcomic Shaderunners depicting a scene where Domigo, now older, recounts to Ezra the way he had felt during the scene from the previous page. The layout of the two pages is similar, drawing a parallel between the two intimate scenes.

beautiful ❤️

Alex Assan @alexassan.com · 24d

the line between literary/artistic parallel and the creator liking a specific set of tropes or visuals and just using them constantly can be so wonderfully thin

Shoutout to the Shaderunners commenter who compared this panel from the Zoll/Ara myth in Act II to this panel of Dom and Ezra in the most recent scene... rest assured, it was unintentional. congratulations you are smarter and more perceptive than I could ever hope to be
