So I was digging through my art and found this little bit of nonsense right here. I was actually drawing it as a follow up to Conrad's little walk through the ages but then never finished it.
Then I found it and slapped some colors on it to pretend it was finished so I wouldn't feel obligated to fully color it anymore and called it a day (just kidding I'm still comicking haha).
Just thought I'd share!! Sorry it's so old and crappy I kind of really hate parts but I'm okay with parts but I remember putting effort into it and I didn't want it to COMPLETELY rot on my harddrive.
Forever.
Until the memory ghosts took it awayahhhhhhhhhh.

So much love. So much hope. This is really what HiNaBN is about, isn't it? Taking what life gives you in stride, and soldiering on. He's still himself and he's okay.
The fourth Hanna is definitely institutionalized, but notice how he seems to be coming back to himself a little? In the third stage he's just completely traumatized and terrified. In the fourth he's still disturbed, but starting to regain some self-awareness with a regard towards recovery. He doesn't seem especially messed up as an adult. He's undereducated and poor, and also socially isolated until {...} enters his life, but he's still functional and basically okay. So hopefully his instituional experience wasn't too horrible and may have helped him get back on his feet.
The only thing that bothers me is the hair color change. It's perfectly normal for a little redhead's hair to darken from carrot to brick as he goes from child to adult--that's pretty common for fairhaired people--but during his bad years it's nearly black. I'm going to chalk that up to artistic effect rather than literal change. It's also neat how Tessa only shows his blue eyes when he's under stress; they're usually just beady little weasel eyes.
