4-29-24 Progress/Updates!!!

EDIT: Holy god, I forgot to add the like 7 prolougue parts to the outline below...Jesus christ... This is is gonna be a LONG work, guys...

-----[ORIGINAL POST]-------

HOLY SHIT I did ALOT of writing/edits these last few days!

Also tragically remembered that I wanted all flashbacks/past sequences to be monochrome (except for blood, fire, significant objects), so ha I wasted sooo much time last week coloring the Chapter 0's first few pages! But it looks sck as FUCK, almost like Noir!

Thankfully I finalized the main plot/arc differences BEFORE drawing too ahead. Im SO excited with the filler content/edits Ive made, SG has a very VERY compelling charcahter development plan/backstory thats REALLY gonna take what the original Rough Day already gives us about her to a different FUCKING level.

So now that my major writing-fever/panick in getting the overarching charcater developments finalized has FINALLY ended, I can share the almost finalized sub-chapter titles! Maybe you can gage some of the struggles well be seeing by the titles alone! Also for the sake of organization, Ive divided Rough Day (ABCR) into 4 'books/seasons', with the last one obviously changing/being altered based on the last few chapters that @no-droids releases whenver theyre ready!

Couldnt stop thinking about it so i finally tested out the fresher re-design! Hope to get back to drawing Ch 0 tomorrow.

Let me know if theres any details in this that I missed that are specific to Rough Day, but I think this version fits all the details I could find in the work going back! I think that hardest thing to figure out was how the door was supposed to 'slide' open as she words it. So, I made it so the door is on a set of rails and folds/slides back into a crevis in the wall between the fresher and the cot.

I mean at THIS point it might as well just be a superhero comic lol (cant wait to make him look sick in more action scenes like this, theyre somewhat rare in RD because its from SG's pov!).

In fucking LOVE with this night sky background i managed to do though! Learned how to shade objects to appear nighttime lighting, that was cool!

CH 19 note/sketch-taking and sensory-progression arc of Din

thought id do a cooking-segment in chapter 10, but upon re-reading furthur i think it fits best here in chapter 19 pt 1.

ALSO I WANNA LET ANYONE INTERESTED KNOW BC I FORGET IM THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS IF I DONT SHARE IT ONLINE BECAUSE I CANT SPEAK BOUT THIS SHIT IRL. (also not worried about giving afcr spoilers, those chapters are months if not years away and thisll get buried so only the early people will know lol i dont mind.)

In the abcr edits, im trying to make an emphasis on Din regaining or re-appreciating the five senses through having Sweet Girl in his life.

Im running with @no-droids' 'backstory drabble' headcannon of Din secretly hating taking off the helmet because he loved the outside experiecne too much and feared straying from the Way etc.

But of course, he cant help it after she enters his life because 'SHE MAKES HIM WANT TO KNOW MORE' 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

-----mini breakdown for those who are curious!---

obviously all chapters from the begining explore the skin to skin touch-experience, but i want more. i want him to feel more things with his bare hands trhough her: Much of M's observance and experiences with of SG in all chapters and prolougues will be of her taking the time to feel new things around her and share it with him. Din's lack of senseitivity trhough the armor and gloves and helmet will be explored and change as he stops to feel things more, or at least recalls how he used to (prolougue pt 6 -helmet hate hist)

sight will be explored as a general and consistent arc, mostly in observing SG's curiousity of new things in comparison to Din's prolougue part 6,

taste and smell will be hinted at in eraly chapters, but wont make any significant progress until chapter 10 around the campfire, and will have its most singificant progression in chapter 19 pt 1, where she teaches or shows him how to cook something, letting him take time to smell and taste the distrinctness of each inggredient, then how they comlpiment eachother in the meal.

hearing will be concentrated around him falling in love with her voice (yes she can sing sweetly to, I may or may not wink wink drop self-made dubs for those segments when they come out, as ) after not being particularly aquianted or intersted with music in general as a consequence of ...you know...being a mandalorian and a ard-ass. It'll reach its peak/reveal at chapter 11-pt 3, and be much more exhibited in the rest of the story as they become even closer (yesssssss i may have her sing/hum over the comm during the chase arc, maybeeeee to put the restless kid to sleep or because Din just misses and loves her sweet voice that much OH FUCK THATS GONNA MAKE ME CRY)

-------

im very excited to incorporate this aspect of the backstory drabble into the abridged for christian roomates rd comic! i feel like itll show how he changes trhough meeting her more intenseley, and how he regains that while still being able to wear the armor. like...re-learning to appreciate and love and know the physichal world and nature and being human instead of shutting it out all together/running it over/ignoring it under the armor. Thisll all make more sense when the 6th prolougue comes out, as itll show how a variety of Din's habits changed as he grew older.

4-19-23 progress. An omage to the infamous crotch-focus of boba fett lol

Ok, like... im on the fence about doing this much detail because on the one hand it looks sick as fuck but like...itll take so much time....i need to find a balance between not doing too much detail but like...still making it look good.
