This is one of my favorite RS pages ever. It's way old at this point, but I still love the acting, the pacing, the back n forth. I adore Ty's lettering. I love Ro moving through the crowd and how alone Zyr is on the other side. And there's fun cameos! I'm just still so proud of this one. 🧡

One of my favourite 'weird' layout decisions in RS was this 'six-axis camera' panel from the beginning of Act 2—and I'm overjoyed to announce that enough time has passed that it's time to trot it out again.

RS087, wherein Hel convinces Ro and Zyr to suit up and defend Llyri from thrall incursion, despite they are only initiates. Note panel 2's strange upside-down camera, which totally fucks.
