About this Comic: for new viewers


"Everything Under the Stars" is my original science fiction romance story between a human girl and an alien (not any aliens in the above image). She is abducted from present day Earth and sold as a slave on a multicultural alien occupied space station. Please check out the links below for more information.



Ugh... I wanted to have this finished by Tuesday but this week was real rough for me... ;__;

Hopefully this page isn't underwhelming considering those who tried to guess what was going on in the previous page, thought Gale might admit his undying love for Heather here... or some other hidden secret :o

I've realized as I've been working on these pages that, it takes a really long damn time to illustrate a comic. It might not seem like it, but everything I've done so far is literally only the first paragraph of the written chapter. wut

It was so important for me to get the mood and emotions right, and illustrate exactly how I envisioned these scenes while I wrote them, that I really wanted to draw out as many panels as it would take to get those feelings down visually. But I have noticed that it can be extremely difficult for a viewer who hasn't read anything of this chapter, to visually interpret these pages exactly as they're supposed to be.

On one hand, it's really fun to watch everyone guess, because without full paragraphs describing everything going on from what the character is thinking, to the tone of their voice, all the viewer can do is assume whatever comes to mind from viewing these. On the other hand, not many are guessing in the right direction, and while I thought it may be my fault for not doing something right to make it more obvious, I realize it's probably just not possible to make it perfect. But that makes me more happy for doing these because I think the images will really compliment the written chapter; as much as I can try and write down every little gesture of a character, it's still just not the same as actually seeing that gesture, which is really important for me, as an artist, to show through my art the feelings and emotions I wanted to express all along.

My favorite panel here is the one with the graffiti behind Gale - it felt good to actually spend a lot of time on it to bring together a proper scene and environment and not just have a crap ton of crowds to draw the whole time. OTL

Hope you enjoy, everyone! I have ONE MORE page to do and THEN... FINALLY.. I'll post the written chapter 21. :D

I remember finding EUTS back in early 2014 and falling in love with it. I just spent the last 3 days rereading and falling in love with it all over again! So excited to see where the story goes :"D
