David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgSep 30, 2026, 6:00 PM@LonM Yes, thank you for watching the timelapse. The first draft had some issues: with a young male mage: the main cause of a refactor to a female mage: it was looking like she wanted to get the info by flirting with him. That was a reading of the comic I wanted to exclude. (and also a womanVSman debate that had no place in this one)
Jerkjerk@brettspiel.spaceSep 30, 2026, 9:46 PM@davidrevoy It is not only the (side-)character, that changed. The whole tone is very different and the setting as well. In the first iteration it was a lot more aggressive. Not sure, which I prefer more, but would like to read your thought behind those changes. I have to confess though, I like Ceppers dress in the 1st iteration more, even if inconsistent to last episode. 😇
The time-laps are always interesting, but this one in particular - thank you very much for sharing - love it! 🥰

@jerk @LonM Thank you :) Yes, timelapses are more interesting when I struggle and change my mind mid way.
For the more agressive final panel "Meat proxy, Meat proxies everywhere!" , I changed it because it's a bit hard to blame a generality with showing just a single case.
Also, by changing the hesitant apprentice to a sorceress of fire, with an also interesting design, I think I made their relation more equal, peer to peer.

@davidrevoy I agree to that. Also it's interesting to see, that the apprentice would have been surprised and kinda shocked being addressed, while the sorceress looks as bored as hell. A nice double twist, maybe. Could mean, she thinks, she is superior, or in reality she is really bored of her life, loosing all her own magical creativity for exchange of the "magic", A.I. brings, maybe both. I like to read it in any of that ways, but especially the second one.
