I’m not going to lie.

A week ago this page wasn’t even in the script.

I was going over the flow of the chapter and I came upon a problem with the two newest pages. They were being rushed. Not art wise, but from a storytelling perspective. I needed to take a step back and buffer the transitions between scenes to help it flow better. Once the next few pages are released, you’ll see what I’m talking about.

As for this weeks page, some of the dialog was cut from a later scene and brought over here. It made more sense to put it here as Zona is making sense of everything that is happening and she’s trying to plan her next move. This also allows that later scene to breath a bit more.

We also get a chance to make sure Basse is going to make it out okay. Say what you will about him, he’s a big, untrustworthy jerk, but you’d still want him on your side.

With adventure comics, it’s easy to get lost in the action.

It’s always worth taking a moment for your characters.

This is one of those pages I was really excited to release. This may be my favorite Sno scene. She was so angry in the previous page but here you learn that her number one concern is someone else. Whenever I think about her as a person, I feel empathy is the quality that exemplified her the greatest. Keyli lives through this because of her.

Many of you noticed poor Clumsy’s sunburn. Thank goodness he received some water too. Sno was fortunate enough to get clothes, but isn’t interesting that she is the only one covered up? I have a feeling we got a little insight into the Mountain Dwellers culture.

The city is coming soon!

Also, what does Icari’s father, Eetori have up his sleeve?

We finally get to catch up with the crew and things aren’t looking so good.

Will Keyli make it to the top of the mountain, can Icari earn Sno’s trust, and will Clumsy get a sip of water?!?

This is one of those scenes that I’ve been waiting a long time to put out. In fact, Chapter 5 is riddled with them. So much happens this chapter and I keep adding content! I’m going to get back to it so I don’t fall off schedule. See you fellow Hominerds next week.

As promised this is a small update.

Next week will be a much larger post. Even though there is only three panels in this weeks page there is a lot to take away from it. Mainly that it’s hot, exposed, and Keyli is a mess. We’re finally getting to where we left off last chapter. Next week we’ll catch up with how our captures are holding up.

I’m in Colorado this week visiting my family. Despite all the fires and beetle kill, we spent the weekend up in Rocky Mountain National Park. I really love spending time with my family and I don’t get to do it enough. Every single one of them have been a huge supporter of Hominids and I just want to take a moment to thank them for that. I’ll post pictures in the next couple days.
