Goldgills at sea

This was one of my favorite pages to work on so far. Originally it had an internal monologue from Goldgills, but I couldn’t get across what I wanted to without it seeming corny to me, and I decided to try and leave it a little more vague and communicate things without words. What he’s feeling is probably a little too primal for all that anyway. If you’ve ever gone through a funk and then had a day out in nature, or even just a day where you got to do whatever you want and felt truly free, I think you get it.
I love everything about this page.
The colors, the expressions, you really do capture just…vibing through a bad time by escaping in this one.
Also the puffer fish and Goldie chompin like a feral man?
Thank you so much!! A lot of people seem to be liking this page and I’m really glad. I love feral Goldgills too. After him mostly being serious and weighed-down and not-really-himself for the early part of this comic, this page was really fun and signals a bit of a change in how I’ll get to portray him going forward.
The colors in that sunset panel are STELLAR.
