Here is another batch of writer notes on Sorcery 101. If you want to read ahead on these got ahead on these head over to my patreon.
Title page
I was trying to be designy again. This works a little better than most of them.
page 1012 – 1013
Whenever Damien is plotting against Brad, I tried to keep Cassia mostly out of it. She is doing her nails cause she’s just disinterested in the whole thing. Damien is supposed to be the active force in this.
page 1014 – 1016
Will and Kayla are talking about Arsenic and Old Lace for the curious. Pat is still being a dick to Kayla.
I like drawing all the rain and the baldy cult watching from across the street. The silent panels where they head to the shop while Brad leaves came out nice.
page 1017 – 1024
I had fun with the exchange between Will and the cult guy at the door. I also really like when Danny in one panel is pulling at one side of the door while the cult guy pulls the other. I try to always think of how someone who isn’t experienced with supernatural stuff will take something. Hense Kayla jumping to hate crime rather than magic cult that cuts people up. Pat knows about the cult cause he had a brother lose a hand to them.
I had fun drawing the chase/tracking scene. Drawing everyone’s hair all wet and droopy was a nice change. And it’s always fun to draw Danny hacking up a lung after running. Danny’s “That is a SETH plan” is one of my favorite lines I’ve given him. Because it only makes sense if you have been reading the whole series and know how odd this is for Pat’s character and how Seth usually behaves.
page 1025 – 1030
Fighty fight time. I wanted to makes sure Pat did something big and flashy so all the cult folks would focus on him. The have a mage’s hand and a werepanther’s tail.
When Kayla gets the fight to stop and they try tricking the cult, I didn’t want them to go with it right away. They aren’t super gullible. So Pat threatening one of them just is to give them an extra push toward going with that reasoning.
1031-1032
And Pat uses Kayla’s name for the first time after being an extra huge dick to her all evening.
