This Romantic World Page 324

The sudden scene transition is a common device in most forms of visual media. Yet whenever I try to do it between pages, I often leave readers feeling like they missed a page somewhere. The solution? Have the change take place on a single page rather than between them! 

It's admittedly not a perfect solution. Not for me, anyway. I try to close each page with something punchy if I can, and instead the final panel is taken up with the task of saying "okay, we're over here now." Not exactly punchy, but the hope is that I've managed to cultivate some suspense as to what will happen next in place of that.

As always I'd love to hear your input, and I hope you like the page!

…or water board him by using his head as a dildo?

ShadowSkill

Hey thanks for the feedback in any case! :)

Reinbach

Possibly! ;D

Reinbach

;D

I did consider that. The fact is, every single non-canon pic I've ever done of Switch over the last eight years, she had the piercings. It just felt wrong to leave them out at this point, even if they don't make a ton of sense.

Reinbach

Understandable at this point!

Reinbach

:O

Reinbach

Quite so atm! :D

Reinbach

;D

Reinbach

Well put! XD

Reinbach

We'll come back to them at the end of the chapter! ;D

Reinbach

Thanks!

Reinbach

Great! That's pretty much what I'm going for.

Reinbach

Noted! :)

Reinbach

Thanks!

If you know Switch from the game, I'd say you know her well. In her debut comic I was still figuring out what I wanted her to be as a character. She didn't really become the Switch we know until the game.

Reinbach

XD

Reinbach

:O

Reinbach

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Reinbach

That is indeed shown to be within her power! XD

Reinbach

Reinbach

Thanks for the input! :)

Reinbach

Thanks!

Reinbach

Interesting idea! :)

Reinbach

We're about to get into that! :)

Reinbach

XD

Reinbach

;D

Reinbach

These two will both be alive when next we see them! XD

Reinbach

Glad to have the hype! :)

Reinbach

;D

I think a sudden transition between scenes and pages works pretty well when the comic is being reread after the fact. Especially in PDF format when you're just scrolling through. But for the week to week delivery having the jump on the same page is likely better. Personally I think the former is more effective unless the latter is going for a comedic juxtaposition. But that's just my two cents, I don't think I've ever been confused by a sudden jump so I might just be the wrong person to talk about it lol

Did Switch just get dumped?

Malmedee

hmmm that sudden transition to Liz, it's not foreboding at all.....

Graci

Where exactly did an otherworldly entity like Switch get her nipples pierced?

Deano

I don't like this guy. Not a single redeemable thing about him.

Kudos707

Seems like the simple solution would be to conduct behavioral reprogramming by hanging him on chains and hooks like Pinhead from Hellraiser, while Switch goes to town on his ass with a Switch sized studded dildo, while also clockwork oranging his eyes to Lifetime cable tv or Oprah or something.

ShadowSkill

Dude's a prick

Licorice Lain

That cutaway has me cooking up theories

MechaBlerd

Oof. I could HEAR the music build to panel four that then just . . .change. That boy is in deep trouble.

KaijuWhite

Sooo. Is this just a cut away? Or are we going to see what she does to that shitiot?

Slaughterbug

Switch looking amazing on this page, love me a powerful woman. Also I think the transition does work better on the same page rather than between pages :)

HungryOuroboros

Wow, Liz looks hella-pretty there. A very "normal" expression, too. Kind of fits how "off" she might be over whatever Miguel said to her.

ScuzzBucket

Not gonna lie. I hope he does get his comeupins. I'm not prudish enough to particularly mind his antics, but the fact that he really just does not seem to care about about the aftermath makes them less hot in retrospect. So uh yeah. Comeupins.

Jon

Well, he did say he wanted to feel something...

GregD

Perfect transition.

NKL

Suitable, considering the cliff”hanger” :)

NKL

The thought occurs that I only actually know Switch from the video game. I may not be entirely aware of who she is as a person, which honestly was part of the climax of the game. But then, you have successfully characterized him as enough of a douche canoe, I believe is the technical term, that I can’t see I’d be too broken up if that transition cut covered him coming to a sticky end.

SpectralTime

… what a monumental dick. And not in the good way.

KnightRider007

...And when we finally cut back to Vincent, he looks like Jason Issacs' character from Event Horizon...

Squid Hills

maybe have some of the chains break the panel and keep travelling down to help with the transition visually some more? but switch looks fucking great

Mac

It's all fun and games till switch makes him flaccid for life unless he does what she tells him.

Taylored Printers

Dude fucked around (also literally) and is about to find out (also possibly literally)

Daniel S

It's a good choice. Could've added a small panel of Vincent screaming to help ease the transition, but this works better than sudden transitions. Needs work, but better than the alternative.

Alex

Also, the transition works great!

MAR

She’s beautiful when she’s angry. All the time really, but wow, does she look good here. Hopefully Vincent is about to get a whole lot of other people’s feelings and memories. Seeing things from his former lovers perspective might round out his point of view. Adding incidental victims like his brother could drive the point home.

MAR

I’m worried about Liz more than him.

Lord Washington

*Claps hands* Switch is becoming the monster i knew she could always be... Excellent

Jariah Synn

Somebody about to get hurt

Eric Shepherd

love this half demonic look for switch has also i was starting to like this guy i hope he isn't about to die

alex baker

Ooooh dear. Switch is LIVID. *Gets popcorn*

Kyman201

Oh boy. Switch is gonna get ballistic...
