#938 Five Pound Escapement

90% of the delay on this comic was learning how to animate in Krita.

Well, okay no. 90% of the delay was depression, but 90% of the delay while working on this was animation. I’ve got it down now, so if I have segments that need small automations, I’ll do that in the future. I’ve got Krita mostly down now, and the only major issue I’m having now is future Alex’s textboxes use a bevel and emboss function, and the embossing is a known issue on Krita currently. I’ll probably look for a short term workaround (basically just snagging an old textbox with some space around the embossing and just do some splicing.

There may be a minor edit on this comic in the future where I add narration, but nothing critical. Just something to show Alex and his capture are still around.

Try to get another one out for next week
