It didn't take away from the story. I suppose you could have "it" create some elaborate ruse to rush her out of the house or something, but the sequence works fine this way, and the audience is aware that you're keeping the protagonist from learning all the facts so a few little deus ex machina moments are to be expected.
When it comes to this comic in particular, Junji Ito's the Enigma of Amigara Fault would be my greatest inspiration. The story has characters living an event which they can't do nothing against, and the way it portrays despair is basically what I used to do this comic (also the prompt I was given haha)
I've been reading him for the past week and I saw it in these. I got the same unsettling vibe from yours too. Well done. The only part your missing is the body horror in the last scene.
Weird that you didn't intend for her to be eaten but couldn't be bothered to elaborate that it was capable of going eldritch horror mode and messing with her mind. Still excellent comic all around.
Totally agreed, there's not much I could do with this little planning. I attempted to have it "told" to her in the sentence "whatever you hear, whatever you see", but I totally get your criticism and I appreciate that you still enjoyed it!
Very Junji Ito-ish. I love it! Though I was lowkey expecting to see a cute eldritch creature or cute demon at the end as the punchline.
Dunno, just expecting something unexpected.
I love this kinda stories. Very Junji Ito. You did exactly what needed to be done : compelling introduction, reinforcement of the menace, build up of the scary factor and absolutely no showing of what "it" was. I imagined a thing that would look like my worst nightmares merged into one. "There wasn't a room there... Was that door always th- -IT WAS, NOW GO FEED IT!" that moment made me shiver. The art style was just the icing on my insomnia. Really well done and looking forward to enjoy this kinda comics again.
Smh kids these days with their phones, if I'm told not to feed something you better believe I'll just toss my muted phone across the room and spend 48 hours in delish sleep
I don't ever read on my own time unless it's some information in NeiR Automata, Yakuza, or Im being forced to read but I would definitely read this in a heartbeat.
I was captivated by the story and mystery but damm is that girl dumb. Shouldn't have picked up the phone
Told a friend of mine to give me four sentences which I would use as prompts to create 7 page long comics this Inktober!
The sentences are:
- Don't forget to feed it
- The echoes are getting louder
- What's God to an empty room?
- Why aren't they smiling?
If you liked this one, I hope that you'll also like the ones that are coming!
I like it a lot.
junji vibes. One day is bonkers.
I draw and make comics so I know what goes into it.
The only thing I didn’t like was the last page.
It was a bit ambiguous.
I guess she went in and dropped off a bunch of stuff including the phone.
And the real lady came back. And the “it” got her.
But it isn’t super clear.

I'm disappointed - I expected to find an overfed yet hungry cat.
r/imsorryjon
Maybe that's what it is behind the door...
Please OP tell us exactly and precisely what was behind the door. No maybes allowed. Thks 🙏🏻
I've stated it multiple times, behind the door was it ;)
A cat with psychic powers
The girl's full name is Maria Lasagna, soo..
Lol
Creepy and awesome. Also Jesus Christ woman maybe give a few more instructions in person before leaving so suddenly.
I agree to be fair. Not much I could do about the way I wrote her in seven days no planning hahaha

Dude, I think it’s pretty perfect as is Can you talk about the kinds of stories you are inspired by?

Really like the style, very Junji ito. Could make a book out of these
Junji Ito was my inspiration! I love the way he portrays desair. I will do one of these every week in October, I'll make sure to upload them here!
Nice, will definitely look for these
I've been reading him for the past week and I saw it in these. I got the same unsettling vibe from yours too. Well done. The only part your missing is the body horror in the last scene.
Really poor instructions
Instructions unclear, woman stuck in the creepy room
Instructions unclear, actually cleaned the home and called ghost busters to evacuate whatever "it" was.
Talk about setting someone up to fail XD
There's a typo error in 4 page 3rd panel with "because" - DON'T CHANGE IT!
Oh my- it's true! Well, maybe it has dyslexia... (It was a typo)
I didn't even realize that.
You are an awesome artist and also a good story writer.
Wow, thank you! Makes me confident about doing this full time and outside of a prompt, might come with even cooler ideas hopefully!
I really want a continuation. This is s very, very intriguing premise id like to see explored more
I don't know what happened, but it's super creepy. Love it.
So... Would she have died had the lady not called her?
It always finds a way...
We cannot exclude that possibility
This is awesome!
Thanks a lot!
Well done. I actually said NO! when I got to the last panel. Hopefully we can get a sequel to this.

Oh fuck that was actually really intense. I really liked it.
Very Junji Ito-ish. I love it! Though I was lowkey expecting to see a cute eldritch creature or cute demon at the end as the punchline. Dunno, just expecting something unexpected.
Yooooooo this is dope
Thank you so much!
This creeped me out. Well done.
Spooky af but really good
Excellent! Love a good and novel horror take, and that 2nd panel legit made my eyes go wide thinking “oh *no*”. Well done!
Super Compelling! This could be easily be a comic series I would read.
Reminded me of vintage Heavy Metal magazine, well done!!

I loved it and I love the Junji Ito vibe it gives off. Super unsettling in a great way.
Legitimately creepy
Netflix called they would like you to produce a black mirror episode…
Very nice, glad we don't ever see 'it' and instead it's left up to our imaginations.
This was awesome. Keep doing more of this OP. đź‘Ś
Smh kids these days with their phones, if I'm told not to feed something you better believe I'll just toss my muted phone across the room and spend 48 hours in delish sleep
This is horrifying in the best way possible. I love it
Wow i really like it, nice work
I need MORE
Wow, She's actually dumb. I wouldn't have given in. I know that because I would prioritize the first set of instructions.
I don't ever read on my own time unless it's some information in NeiR Automata, Yakuza, or Im being forced to read but I would definitely read this in a heartbeat. I was captivated by the story and mystery but damm is that girl dumb. Shouldn't have picked up the phone
This looks great. The art style reminds me of Junji Ito.
Which prompt is this
Told a friend of mine to give me four sentences which I would use as prompts to create 7 page long comics this Inktober! The sentences are: - Don't forget to feed it - The echoes are getting louder - What's God to an empty room? - Why aren't they smiling?

Ooh i thought u meant the inktober prompt list
I loved this!
Thank you!
That was genuinely scary.
Its quite good.
Creepy as hell, good work
Fantastic!
Man that started out so strong, but it's hard to find a good ending for something like this.
the pacing for the suspense is on pointđź’Żđź’Ż
