Exit the Dragon (Bedtime Comic)
🕑 Added 2025-01-16 06:32:20 +0000 UTCMy personal Exit-mania continues.
Last time there was a comment thinking about the family relations between Exit, Escape and Master Exodus. That gave me an idea for this very family-functional comic.
The other subject is Exit and Escape in fancy suits in Like a Dragon-fashion. Alternate hand placement for Exit. I feel foolish for not thinking of drawing flame-patterned horns for Escape before.
Also an experiment doing the faux-traditional artwork. I deliberately blurred some of the pencil marks, since that's something they do with copic markers.
Music has been inspirational lately, and this song was playing as I worked on the suit drawing. I now think of it as an unofficial ending song for Exit the Dragon.

Yes it's to imply that the horn got cracked at least. It will mend back together over time, not to worry!

I love the tiny detail of the tape/bandage on his horn. Like did it snap off and need to be taped back on? π€£

Exodus just doesn't understand, Exit was THIS close to getting a high score in Wario Ware...

Everyone likes a slightly beat-up pair of delinquents!
Setzeri
That sounds pretty reasonable. Escape isn't inheritly evil, but kind of a misunderstood character because of her appearance. After spending time in prison she has become a little bitter and envious of Exit who got to spend somewhat of a happy early life.
Setzeri
Thanks! Exit is first and foremost a concept for a "video game", and these short comics show some past events of the characters. I have no plans to make it a full comic series, just strips like these.

Something like the final training mission goes awry and Exit leaves Escape behind presumed dead or Exit coming back from a mission finds the dojo/temple destroyed Escape captured and assumes everyone's dead? As in Exit the Dragon 2, Escape's in prison so presumably captured at some point and breaking out as General Depature is standing her down.

I like this content, will you make a comic out of them or just keep it short format like these? I do know it'd be probably too much work but still curious! :-)

That's exactly how I imagine things would go, but how they end up being separated is still a mystery to me.

Exit and Escape make me think of protaganist-antagonist/rival pairings where they grew up together but one chose the path of evil and now they meet as enemies.

Yeah that's great work π―

Another Exit related home-run, January has been a treat thus far. I'm really digging the Like A Dragon suit portraits, gives me the vibes of dynamic JRPG party HUD indicators when allies are low HP.
