Saturday May 2, 2009 Phillippe |
| I was sorely tempted to just make the visual text in the last panel "house crashing noise!" or something along those lines, for I have no idea what it would sound like when a house gets thrown over a shoulder like that. Originally, I had planned for it to be a much larger building, but then the idea of Terror smashing a skyscraper-like building did not sit well with me, because it's not that sort of metaphor. The "creepy house at the end of the street" made more sense, and was less... unfortunately symbolic while still allowing Terror to show his strength. I do belatedly realize that the house in question seems to be a little out of the way for Dread's declaration of "There" in the preceeding page, however, but the Nightmare Lands are probably not exactly known for great urban planning. Another thing about this page that probably needs to be mentioned is the "flicking," which probably does not come across well. Due to the design of Terror's hands, drawing him flicking Dread like a piece of lint or a small insect did not work out the way that I'd wanted it to, so I cheated it with visual text. There's no highlights in this page either- the shadows were working out rather well, and the highlights just have not worked to my full satisfaction. Perhaps on the other characters, or if I can get it to the point where it blends a little better, but tight now, not so much. You might have noticed that Dread's color scheme has gotten a little narrower, as well as a few design tweaks. If not, don't worry, she spends the duration of the page either offstage or in a heap. Anyway, that's about it. Next Saturday's my birthday, so it's just as well that I'm getting this online today. |
