drawing backgrounds is fun it's colouring them thats a pain in the AAAASSSSSSS

i didnt have a design for the basement/hospital until the drawing of this page
it was vaguely there when writing the scenes for it and even then i was stressin like "AAGHH HOW'M I GONNA DRAW AND COLOUR THAT. colouring this comic was a mistake" but i keep it coloured because b/w just doesn't fit it imo
i've tried that with earlier chapters like 3 and 6 and it was just bleghh

hmm scott's house in general i've always had a design for every interior like the kitchen, the back door, the basement door being by the kitchen, the upstairs and everyone room and his parents room have a balcony outside it. ive had these designs mapped out since i first started writing this series back in like... 2009? (i wrote a prototype for it back around 2007/8 which i still own the original comics to)

scott's house wasn't even based on an existing design like victor's house (his house was based on on a house i lived in when i was 12-13 from the door with a hole in it to the yellow curtain i used to separate my half of the room from the bathroom and also so i could change idk it was weird. veronica's room is based directly in a room my mom had and the bathroom in their house connects from victor's room and veronica's room (like mine was irl lol).

sidney's house wasn't based on an existing house either and then ricky's and... dasfjsfhdgj i still dont have a complete design for his house OR sidney's like i have a basic outline of how it SHOULD look but i havent drawn anything concrete yet GEEZ.

i never wanted any race in this comic to be ambiguous, helen is black, scott is half-black (dad's side) like ricky is half-mexican (mom's side), sidney is french and victor is half-german (dad's side)

LOL I HAD A LOT TO SAY HERE... dang
