Urban Testament Page 14

I've been told I should start putting some thoughts down along with the art so here goes.
Here's the first intro of the main villain. It's always interesting to contemplate who should be the first opponent in a hero's story. I didn't want something too over the top so I kept in line with the look and feel of the setting and having a fantasized version of a normal person.

best page yet sifu! lovely layout, great balance with the black and white. also love the explanation of these chi powers. and nice intro to your villian. enjoying the ride thus far. as to the whole authors notes thing... think of it as the director's commentary on special features when you watch a dvd. Some people could careless, watch the movie and never want to hear the thoughts of the director. But the real fans of the movie(comic) want to hear your thoughts about the choices you made and maybe fun stories about what happen when you were doing research or this or that...all in all its about connecting with the audience. do with it as you may. but have fun!

Hmmm - how much you write in your author's comments is very much a matter of taste. Some people on DD re-tell exactly what's hapening on the page. I can't see the point of that. Others point out flaws in their artwork. Personally, I'd rather not draw attention to my comic's shortcomings unless someone else does! But comments can help readers connect with you and your comic and are a good way of letting readers know you value their support. You just have to find what kind of comments work for you. With [i]Shades[/i] I try to add comments about how and why I've approached the page the way I have. Something that adds to the story but doesn't simply re-tell it. Your comment here is a good example of that, I think. (Oh ... and it's a cool page, too!)
