Predators of Denali - Page 28 Sketch (and humour?)
Added 2019-03-08 15:28:46 +0000 UTCI'm doing things slightly differently with Predators lately. In previous pages I'd try to get through the page done in one draft. Act II of the comic is more thought-out, with pages going through 2 or 3 drafts, and more effort on the sketches themselves. I'm starting to realize this makes a huge difference in page layout, flow, expressions, and making sure I hit all the 'beats' I need to touch on for each page. In the long run, it should help avoid lingering, dull dialogue or static scenes like i'd done sometimes in the past. Each page should feel fun, have a goal, and set up the next.
This whole segment is vital. I'm really hoping to sell you guys on Massak and Tala. I've gone through their meeting and greeting so many times in my head, that I finally have a version that feels believable and not too slow or fast. I'm not afraid to go back and edit pages either, several times I've done it in the past, long as the end result fits.
That being said, I do like hearing feedback from y'all, and while I usually don't have dialogue done for the sketch parts, the idea is that the art does more of the heavy lifting of engaging expressions. In this page, Tala, over the shock of Massak's initial appearance, realizes she attacked him, as he attempts to calm her and and lighten the mood.

Having you appreciate your own work is equally as important as us appreciating it.

Your characters facial expressions have always been good, and are definitely part of what makes them so likable. This comic so far has been no exception.

2019-03-08 15:32:01 +0000 UTCThis looks pretty cool so far, also that is pretty cool about how you're putting more details in the sketches. Also yeah it does make a huge difference in the page layout, flow, expressions and all the beats that are needed to be achieved. Also yeah that's true, cause in some pages i did notice that there wasn't quite any goal or set up to the upcoming pages from before. So far Tala and Massak are done pretty good so far, and to be honest I've been thinking about how they met in the past before, and what you did was the best choice for it's believable and not too slow or too fast. That's cool, because like i said before that some pages in the past didn't quite feel like they were either fun, have a goal, or have a set up to the next pages or pages. Also yeah that's nice of him, i wonder how he's going to do that, maybe they both give backstory about each other like their families and what happened to them, their personalities, likes and dislikes and how they got where they are now or in which case how they got here. But yeah this page does look pretty cool so far, and yeah i like that the art is doing the heavy lifting to engage expressions. Also like i said before, maybe they both talk about their past and what their personalities, backstory, and many other things about them. But yeah, this page was great, can't wait to see the finished page.
