Soma Journal #7
Happy Friday, just a reminder that Nine Gates will return on December 1st.
I’m feeling very refreshed and ready to work on the comic again, I feel like my art has powered up some in the two weeks I’ve spent on break. I haven’t just been doing nothing, I assure you! I’ve taken the time to learn some new things to make my job a bit easier and to make the comic nicer to look at. I don’t have too much to say, just a quick update so you know that I’m still alive. It seems like it’d be kinda rude to go on radio silence my entire break.
COOL GATE FACTS
The Sacred City of Seat-of-the-Helm has over 27 layers of buildings and complexes, counting both ones visible from the outside and the ones hidden within. Approximately 13 of those layers are abandoned, and 4 are populated by a skeleton crew of workers tasked with maintaining the foundations of the city. This is considered a great responsibility; the laborers chosen for this task, alongside their family, live comfortable lives, and are placed in a private tomb after their death as thanks for their service.
Wow, nearly half of the city is abandoned? I wonder why?
It’s cool that the maintenance crew are well respected, it must be an arduous task to keep a place that huge running!
Happy Friday! 🙂
