Salvation

Posted on November 28, 2025 by Club Pink Taco

I haven't drawn this location in about a decade. I figured the bust could have patinaed a bit... plus it looked better in the desaturated flashback.

I purposely pulled back the amount of desaturation on this strip since it was 100% flashback and there wasn't a visual difference to play against. It's still there so it'll look different on a collected page from the strips in the present day... but I just didn't like the nothing but 10% color.
