For the final version, I tried a new watercolour strategy this time: colouring in all the blue shadows first, then adding other colours for the areas in light. It helped make the whole thing less clashing and muddy compared to my usual approach. I like the businessman panel where the colours are minimal. Other panels may be a little overwhelming.
I like how the person who clearly doesn't have telepathy, asking to join, actually has a smile on their face. All the telepaths look dead and miserable inside.
I love this. It leaves just enough out so that it's not immediately obvious what's happening, but gives enough clues so that you can figure it out as you scroll.
It builds up nicely, and once you understand it, it leaves you feel clever & very fulfilled as a reader.
You've basically figured out Valve's (the video game company) definition of "fun" for a short comic strip. You should be proud of that! Also love the style. I hope to see more whenever you find inspiration.
