Sex is great but have you ever read exposition from one of your favorite comic artists?

2024-10-01 00:35:28 +0000 UTCHow hard has it been to NOT use your normal lettering style? And I'm beginning to think you craft stories and storyboards solely to give you an excuse to draw hands.

2024-09-30 00:29:15 +0000 UTCY'all are fantastic, thanks for your insights. I'm really lucky to have patrons who engage to this level, especially those of you who always catch a grammatical error, poor word choice. Y'all deserve a cut for editing, lmao.

2024-09-29 21:18:58 +0000 UTCI happened to listen to an episode about unnecessary modifiers by James Thayer recently, after the lettering was done of course, haha.

2024-09-29 21:03:41 +0000 UTCThanks! Yah, the writing is clunky in areas here. Working off older scripts hasn't been the best for some of these.

2024-09-29 21:02:29 +0000 UTCHaha, for real, reddit is literally dangerous.

2024-09-29 21:01:24 +0000 UTCThe art is fantastic, I think! It sets the mood so well, "calm before the hurricane" vibes. The writing... what I would do is look for adverbs and see if they can be removed (and replace the words the adverbs are modifying), and look for phrases that add nothing. eg "I must admit" could become "I admit" or even be cut completely "I was exceedingly apprehensive" -> "I was terrified"

2024-09-29 21:01:05 +0000 UTCI specifically made it a point to not make the number legible/real to avoid this, haha. Reddit is a nightmare for that kind of thing.

2024-09-29 20:56:27 +0000 UTCThe hands were the quickest bit btw, finished those up in 20 minutes, haha.

2024-09-29 20:48:48 +0000 UTCHa! That's why I shared the drawing without the text. That will be happening a lot, lol. These pages will need be reformatted in the future of promotion, platform image limitations, and printing, so everything beneath needs to be fully rendered.

2024-09-29 20:48:01 +0000 UTCI think that's my gripe with it. It feels static, but is a necessary page. I'm not great with giving these idle moments the same life as the chaotic instances, but I'll need to get used to it for TVD. Trying a lot with the series, and I'll need to improve on environments devoid of action. I like how Sydney's design turned out however. She's exactly as I envisioned her.

2024-09-29 20:46:33 +0000 UTCThe only thing that doesn't work is that you had to cover up that masterpiece of a phone!

2024-09-29 20:45:08 +0000 UTCIt’s not very dynamic - there’s no motion to put emotions into - and hands always suck to work on. But I think it works. We get a little fun Eli Easter egg, the colors are warm and rich, and it very much feels like the antelope bending down to the water…and not knowing the crocodile lies just below.

2024-09-29 20:39:15 +0000 UTCEasily the weakest page of "Sydney." I don't know why I struggled with it so much. The composition of the bottom panel was poorly planned. Hope to have better luck moving forward.
