This is the finalized design of Dachi that I would use if I revisit SWL in the future. There are some minor differences to the way he appears in the current project, which has actually not been entirely consistent as I experiment with and modify my workflow 😅
When I started coming up with a story for Summer Won't Last, the initial idea was for a longer, slower burn story. However, after a rocky beginning and a lengthy hiatus, I decided to make this initial iteration of the comic into a standalone episode.
I'm still heavily considering doing SWL the way I originally imagined it. Perhaps renaming this current story to "Summer Won't Last: Pilot" or "Chapter 0", haha. It would be a much longer-form story that expands a lot on Levi and Dachi's backstory and history of friendship, as well as their future. I would be interested to know how interesting it would be to readers.
Thank you so much for supporting my work! Your feedback is much appreciated 🐯💖
