And we're back. Rhodes does much more than sit on the couch and be bad at video games.
Thank you all for your patience as I hacked my way through that 6-month hiatus! It’s not that I ran out of inspiration—I was working on the script and thumbnails throughout the break, but job/life instability made it difficult to sit down and work. Thankfully, a sense of stability is returning, so I’m in a place where I can post again.
Lots of people subbed to KNM over the hiatus, which was a pleasant surprise. Welcome! I hope you enjoy what I make.
Thanks! I’ve been looking for an excuse to draw one of those old Videosphere space helmet TVs.
Finally!
I love everything in this page, especially the lighting and textures.
I once met these friendly backcountry cabin owners that had a giant bear carved out of a tree trunk in their front yard. Turns out, after a beloved oak tree died on their property, they searched for a local chainsaw artist - to have the tree carved into an eagle. But when they finally found a guy, he was like "Sorry, I only do bears!"
So... the tree was carved into a bear XD
Rhodes
OH NO LOLLL
That’s definitely Rhodes. He can sculpt anything you want, as long as it’s a bear.
Yesss nice to see the comic out of its hiatus! I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in this chapter. Also I'm loving that TV.
Thank you!! That JVC Videosphere is one of my favorite things about this first scene lol.
Does he sell the bears? Or does he hoard them? Because collecting and hoarding sculpted wooden Ainu bears over a few decades would be really weird, why would someone ever do that.
Asking for a friend.
Aw, look at him go chiseling away at that bear! Rhodes and Gideon have something in common with their artistic endeavors.
Chubby gay man (Also known as a bear)…bear sculptures…bears…
Messing about aside, I feel Gideon and Rhodes are meant to be sort of…mirrored versions of one another. Rhodes has these sculptures, and Gideon has his. I wonder if this is a sort of “We are not so different after all”, message.
[eyes emoji] that was DEFINITELY deliberate...
also yes, they're meant to be mirror images of each other! they have similar vocations, but approach them completely differently
