You did a really great job drawing all his different expressions!
That makes sense that you didn't want the intro to drag on too long and for Liev to seem more mysterious (as in the player/MC not knowing much about him.) It does work and isn't an issue. I was just being nit picky I think. Telling rather than showing does work well in some cases. :)
No worries! I look forward to the full game or any updates you put out! You are talented and I really like your art style. :D
