Amazing!!! Writing and images are captivating. Both the pictures and the story bring life to Kali Ma and her iterations. I love how the story started in depicting the beauty and sweetness of the woman (and how that was not what was needed) and then went into the fierceness of the Mother, than back to the beauty and peacefulness of the woman. Now go away! I don’t think men surrender this easily though. What brought him to surrender? Was it the implied aspect of Zed to surrender to his feminine side? Good job!!! Leaves me (the reader) reading it through a few times to sequester the layers of understanding and asking deeper questions of myself. The pictures are beyond beauty!!!!
The post of the draft is not the complete draft or in order of Zed's becoming aware of his toxic behavior. I am seeking feedback on the writing, the length of a chapter like this, does it make sense (as a stand alone) ... the illustrations etc.. Lian lives in a culture (similar to Russia and many Hispanic/Latino cultures where women enjoy dressing up, enjoy being themselves, and actually don't dress up FOR men. Lian has very strong feelings that women should be able to wear what they wish ... or depict women as feminine beings. Now the argument against is that the young men will ignore the writing and focus on the sexy drawings. It is a tough one. And and ... Lian is beyond talented as a tech illustrator.
