switching accounts to continue yelling, THE FULL COLOR? THE OUTFITS YOU CHOSE? THE GESTURES AND FACIAL EXPRESSIONS??? the romance. the gentle tension. MY GOD

Thank you so much Nico 💗🥰 I hesitated a lot to make it full colour because I don’t really like colouring, but I had to do it for Keeping Time! I’m glad you like it!

Oh Amélie, I LOVE THIS!! Nice to see that Daniel playing music has the same effect on Denver no matter the time/universe 😉

(Now I want to see what 16th century style Elena would look like 😆)

Also, I now realise I might have misunderstood the "rules" a bit, and don't necessarily need the day of the week we post to match the number of the prompt we chose (if that makes sense). Ah well, I'll stick with tomorrow anyway (but that's also the day the new page will come out, oops 😅)

melliemillie.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Oh I don’t think there was any rules about that, don’t worry! I just decided to post today because it was the official launch day last year!

Like I said before, I've never taken part in a fanweek before, and DID I MENTION THAT I TEND TO PANIC EASILY?? 🤣 But Nico's "performance directions" make it clear that we're supposed to be cool and have fun... if I can stop panicking 🙃

melliemillie.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Yes, it’s for fun so you share whenever you are ready 🥰

mangsney.bsky.social•17 hours ago

...never...? 🫣

Thank you so much Mangsney 💗🥹 I wanted to draw Elena, but I also wanted to keep this short and not too complicated so I didn’t include her, but I could try to do maybe just a simple pose of her in a 16th dress 👀😏

mangsney.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I definitely get that! I hope you have a chance to draw her, even if it's just a quick sketch. Like Kody said, you're so good at costuming!

OH MY GOSH Amélie this is SO beautiful?! My jaw is on the FLOOR. Your attention to detail in the costuming!! I'm!!! At a loss for words!! I don't know the right vocabulary to describe it but I LOVE Denver's single shoulder cloak that he TAKES OFF AHHH

LOOK HOW PERFECT THEIR FACES ARE

Also, A FULL-COLOR COMIC FROM YOU!! Your coloring so perfectly suits your linework style, and the palette you chose is just beautiful!! I love that Denver is dressed in warms and Daniel in cools here... they can never escape their branding, even in the 16th century 🤣💖

melliemillie.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Thank youu! Colors are not my forte, but I’m glad I tried! And I was inspired by your way of doing lighting because I always struggle a lot with this step 😮‍💨

The route you chose REALLY really works, I'm in love with it!! It's so neat seeing a fully colored comic from you in comparison with your (equally stellar) monochromatic work. Your sensibilities come across soooo beautifully in both methods!!

melliemillie.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Thank you Kody, it was so much fun finding references and figuring out how to dress them!

Also, I read your alt for the panel and it’s exactly what’s happening 😅 I think it’s my fav Denver in this comic!

kodyisover.com•13 hours ago

I think it's my favorite, too!!! You captured that energy perfectly!!!
