The Cull - Chapter 2 - Page 5

Happy New Year everyone!
Sorry this page is a bit late - but even amateur comics artists needs to take their Christmas breaks!
This page was a good bit of fun again and I'm quite happy how some of the expressions came out. We now know that the latest character to arrive on the scene is called Emalaith - or ‘Emma’ for short. Her relationship to old man Olias is obviously very different from that Saphyr has with him and I think it comes across nicely in the body language.
The last few panels of this page are my attempt at the classic ‘cut away before the big plan is explained’ scene, hopefully creating some tension as to what Emalaith's part in all of this will be. Clearly, she is ready for action…
I've also fully committed to the lightly coloured speech bubbles - I feel it adds a dash of life to the page and makes it more easily discernable which character is saying what. Hope you agree - let me know in the comments!
