So, I'd like to take this time to share my thoughts. When I went into this, I was young, and still somewhat inexperienced, even after making a full blown comic beforehand. Those early pages were rough, and it's really neat to go back and see the improvement made throughout the whole adventure.That being said, it got rough near the end, mostly because I didn't realize that making a comic about sex would end up extremely repetitive when you want to show everything. And thus, why there were such long breaks, as I disliked the repetition and it dissuaded me from continuing.
Now that I'm at the end, I can definitely see where I could do things differently. Mostly, I wouldn't have this big, grandiose sequence unrelated to the actual sex part, like I did with the volleyball game. Looking back, I really don't even know why I included that at all. In the future, in the unlikely event that I do make another full length comic, I'll write it out before I do anything, something I haven't really done before. I always just wing it whenever I make a comic, just going by the seat of my pants, going from the ideas and imagery that pops into my head when I'm at rest.
Another thing that could have been done better is consistency. While I tried my hardest to keep consistency throughout, it was sort of lost whenever I would switch shading styles. What should have been done was I should have chosen a style and stuck with it from the beginning. Another thing, too, is switching between both hardware and software. When I started, I was using my old Bamboo tablet and now I use my Intuos Pro. I used to sketch the panels in a program called Sketchbook Express and do everything else in Photoshop, and now I do line art in Paint Tool Sai, and do everything else in Photoshop still. As time went on, the lines got neater and smoother, and the actual drawings had somewhat consistent proportions.
Honestly, looking at these last few pages, I feel that the ending was pretty rushed. I wanted to have the comic conclude on a nice, round page number, so I chose sixty, since it was close and that's all that I had left in me, really. So apologies that the whole sequence is kinda quick and awkwardly done.
I think that about wraps up my thoughts, for the most part anyway. Now let's talk about this page. I tried to do something different for the last panel, seeing as it's the last panel of the series, I figured it should be special. So I did a different style of shading, being that it's all shadow-y, with no highlights whats so ever. In the end, I noticed that when I zoomed out, it kinda looked like cell shading a little bit, which is pretty neat. Still not sure how well that worked out, but we'll roll with it.
Now before we depart, I'd like to thank all of you for reading. It means so much to me that you enjoyed my comic, and I sincerely thank each and every one of you for sticking with me. This comic helped me to get almost one thousand watchers on here, and I wouldn't be anywhere without you guys. So thank you all so much! <3 And \r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Now for some final closure, you guys keep badgering me about requests. Give me maybe two weeks off, relax a little away from the comic, and I'll open them again. Look out for a journal post with information on that then.
And now, the time is here. Thank you all again for reading, I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll see you guys later with some other things. <3
