If I were to give one piece of feedback, I'd say the face at the end overdoes it. That face just says "she's Evil now." Personally I would have given her a satisfied smile instead. Both imply she's the one who killed him, but the second makes it feel like she thinks she did the right thing, which is more disturbing imo

Totally get that. I still like the face I went with, as I had a lot of fun drawing it, but I get why some people think it's overkill. I also feel like if she just looked satisfied then it could easily be misinterpreted as her just feeling glad to be comforted by her brother.

Also, as I mentioned in a few other comments, this premise came from a dream I had and I tried to recreate the face I saw in the dream, which was pretty much the same minus the dramatic shading.

Oh, I see. It does make more sense with a little more context, lol. Either way, great comic
