"Velvet Lost" is a short novella that deals with the anxieties and fears of fatherhood mixed with the anxieties and fears of being a trans-man. This visual novel takes an interesting structure of having the scenes be of conversations of the soon to be father, with his pregnant wife, and the fears and insecurities that follow with it, and then doing flash backs to the father's own lived experiences to show the source of those fears and anxieties. I'm not sure if the plot does a good job of showing the 'proper' way to handle such anxieties, but it definitely shows what I think is an 'authentic' response, one that's not entirely understanding nor sympathetic to the lived experiences of being trans. Luckily the ending is a happy one with conflicts resolved, even if it does happen to rush to that ending. The art is charming, even in its sketchy state. There's the chops here to really push for a longer form of a story, so I hope that you take that challenge and push yourself in your next project to let the scenes breathe and allow the reader to get immersed in the story.
