So worth it.

First off, I think the character’s backstories make the smut so much better. I can see the argument that the word balloons might block too much of the art, but really I prefer to have the dialogue to inform the characters’ thoughts and emotions.

Both these characters are also well-developed, and we can easily understand their motives, particularly the trials of loving someone who is quick-tempered and slow to forgive. I felt kind of whipsawed by Ramon’s “calling,” as I’m not at all sure how to relate to it. I’m just relieved it worked out (Fate?).

I really appreciate the window into Miami culture. For a resident of North America, my Spanish is woefully deficient. Everyone should be able to manage some basics, like giving directions or ordering food. I was recently passed over for a job because another candidate was bilingual, and it was absolutely the correct decision. The way you did the Spanish word balloons was much better than the standard practice of putting English dialogue inside <brackets> to indicate a different language.

Finally, this is just an excellent comic in terms of how the layout captures the motions and perspectives to tell this story. The colors really make it pop, too. Your years of experience in drawing size-fantasy has really paid off here.

Bien hecho, chiquita!

Thank you!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the story…even if it was A LOT lol This is why I also release my comics with a dialogue-less version included. I know, I’m so bad when it comes to cramming in text

Hehehe. Yeah, I didn’t want Ramon to be perfect either. His calling was a result of his own personal issues. But I did want him to have control over them, so he could be a guide of sorts for Myrelys to help her out of her funk.

I’m not sure if it was fate per say that made it work between them in the end. At least for Ramon, she was “the one that got away”. For Myrelys, dating Ramon was a part of her life she wanted to forget, because she knew she messed up something good with her mindset, and instead of admitting it, she ran away and doubled down on her decision. The post comic standalone image shows a cork board with several photos showing their past together. Ramon attending her Quinceañera (birthday celebration for 15-year-old girls), their university graduation, opening of their food truck, and a New Year’s celebration from 2012 (10 years ago). They had essentially come of age together and knew each other very well. I think reconnecting through something traumatic and very personal, like the events of this comic, reminded them how much they actually care for each other. For Myrelys specifically, it reminded her how Ramon was someone who would always be looking out for her. She admitted herself that she pushed everyone she cared about away and regretted pushing him away the most.

Thank you! I wanted to include Spanish, and of course some Spanglish, because that’s how we are in Miami, but DID NOT want to alienate anyone. I’m glad it was easy to follow with my “subtitles” lol! Hopefully it wasn’t too much. There were only 5 panels total with full on Spanish, then some words thrown in here and there.

I really appreciate you saying this, thank you! I put a lot of TLC into the art, and I do think it’s my best comic yet! I did also have a lot of bright, almost over blown lighting sometime. I wanted to imitate the lighting in Miami. Often when you go outside, it’s so bright, you’re ALWAYS squinting just to see lol. Protip: Driving in Miami when you don’t have sunglasses is literal hell. I also wanted to keep it colorful~~! I generally like poppy colors, but I think a lot of people think of neons when they think of Miami.

Bien hecho, chiquita!

Gracias~!
Thank you for such a thurough review and pointing out all your favorite panels, hehehe.

@Jitensha I’m glad there’s more high quality SW content out there, thanks Jitensha!

Jitensha

@sw_animations thank you! I’ll keep making it as long as I live

Well worth the price, I do wish the first shrinkee in Ramon’s backstory was a female robber though lol.

What is Myrelys final size at the end?

Jitensha

@mistereddie Hehe, well he shrinks all sorts of souls in need. I also have a lot of gay fans, and I wanted to give them at least something Myrelys final size is around 4 inches tall

Too big to swallow, but most of her still fits in Ramon’s mouth.

Jitensha

@Olo hehehe yup I’m sure she prefers it that way. I think being smaller in his mouth was much too scary an experience for her.

She sorely needed that experience.

Jitensha

@Olo Oh for sure! She had to crack somehow

Bought it shortly after you posted about it here at the Dollhouse, just read it now. I have to say, without spoiling anything, that the story was very interesting.

It is certainly a very unique kind of M/f comic, the dynamic between the two characters, the whole thing was very different from what you normally see, even in other gentle giant stories.

I was looking forward to it when you first announced it on your DeviantArt, and it was more than worth the wait. Your writing and art design are as top-notch as it gets in the size community. And I’m looking forward to your future works.

@Mrgoblinging7 Thank you so much for your kind words I’m glad you enjoyed it! I really like to write intricate stories (sometimes to my detriment lol), and I hope that’s what helps it stand out. As I said earlier in this thread, nothing wrong with straight up smut, but I strive to ground my characters in their universe as possible. I unfortunately can’t ever be shrunk in real life, so I try and make my stories as realistic (in depth of character, relationships, etc) as I possibly can. I’m glad this has been something a lot of people have pointed out here and elsewhere.
