 Gabrielle and Jenna head to the Observatory’s famous Astral Chamber. There, the two hope to find a dimensional path home and back to their lives. Will the answers they discover justify sacrificing their bodies and dignity for the sexual whims of the Institute Direktor?

I’m hoping that once I get to a certain story point,  my chapters will be released a little sooner rather than 2 months apart.  Also I apologize for some of the shots where one of the character’s face was too dark. I’ve been messing with the room lighting in CreationKit, but facelight turns off when it conflicts with another light source and I don’t know which one is causing it :(

 

I also upgraded, but begrudgingly,  my computer OS to Windows 10. So far I have Skyrim LE running somewhat stable with ENB. I am having issues with some mods working in CreationKit, therefore I am not sure how it will impact Chapter 5.

This is a great chapter! I still feel a little lost in this setting, but for the better, it adds a feeling of incomprehension. In a good way I mean ^_^
Well, if I understand correctly, they were fucked, their world was fucked and stuff like that. 
Great work on the environment. I imagine that most of all this came to do from scratch. Great job. I simply wouldn’t have the patience for this.

Yeah, I’m still working around this setting as I have too many ideas but trying to narrow things down in this world. At the same time, I was hoping to go for keeping parts of the world a mystery and trickle more info about the world as the story moves along.

Nice one ! About the technicalities, I like how you use insets and overlapping panels to guide the eye through the boards, making your layout efficient and natural. At another hand, The reading order of the bubbles sometimes is a bit off, but only to a minor extent. Still a quite fascinating work on your world, environment and effects, with the part into the Astral Chamber combining lore, scenario and some drama quite successfully. Even the vocabulary of the Erywons was customized to increase the immersion. The character development about Kor, Jenna and Gabrielle also was well led. Nothing to say about poses and expressions (specially Jenna's stares, already revealing her crush on Kor beforehand). All concurring to a pleasing and immersive read. Awaiting for the next chapter ! :smiley:?

Great job!

Admitetly  that I'd preferred them returning to their homeworld, but I see what you were doing instead :thumbsup:.

Also I really like the foreshadowing you did with showing the Elysium, I'm really curious on how things are back in their world.

Have a look at custom light as an alternative to facelight, as you have much more control over everything. I think facelight only turns off when you have more than one light attached to your character.

1.Thanks! I’ve gone back and reworked some of the bubble alignment and fixed a few other bubbles.

2. Part 2 of this chapter took me the longest. Originally, the Part 3 sex scene was supposed to happen back in chapter 2, but it felt weird for Jenna to be ok with sex with a complete stranger (although I did have a panel of her glancing back in Chapter 2).  Part 2 of  Chap 4 was written to better ease Jenna’s character into the Part 3 sex scene.

Hey thanks, I’ll try it out!

I’m hoping to expand the stuff that was done in their old world here and that the setting will give me some more flexibility.

Your layouts and design and everything are so good! Really pro comic quality, I could see this being printed and sold on glossy paper, no problem.
