Chapter 4: Bad Karma | 25
xmung on Feb. 17, 2011
Scenes that are essentially two people sitting and having a chat can be more of a challenge to draw than action scenes - the challenge being how it can be made to look interesting. Reviewing this page I'm not all that sure I succeeded, although I do really like that first panel, both Mary and Faux Karma's postures look nice and natural. I think if I ever redrew this page I'd probably increase the zoom on the third panal and maybe change the angle a bit.
Tomorrow, Faux Karma plays her ace…
Thanks for reading and commenting. Be sure to check out Crossoverkill which features Hoodoo from Magellan and a heap of other awesome superheo webcomics… there was a new update yesterday as Hoodoo, Mindmistress, Energize and Fusion take on the Doppelgangers Chant, Kid Apocalypse and Syko Suki …

@Artificer Urza: where were you following it from? I'm updating again now with new material - @ [url=http://www.magellanverse.com]magellanverse.com[/url] - and have a mirror at Graphic Smash. The two other mirrors (Webcomics Nation and Comic Genesis) are closed but link to the main site...

Imitating a precog is very dangerous thing... Unless of course you actually know the future. ;) I followed this some time ago on another site. Did/do you plan to continue it from where you left off or are these daily updates going to continue up to that point and then stop? I hope not.

I have much to learn about doing "talky" scenes.

She's a short-range precog, how could she have a premenition of somthing years down the line.

Okay, just got my puter up and running this week. I need to get caught up on the backlog! Yes, I've read it on your other website, but I want to give your DD site votes!

this scene is all about the dialogue, so i don't mind the sitting so much.

Talking heads scenes are always a challenge. You did a good job here of varying the focal lengths. You can also try changing camera angles. As a very wordy writer myself, I gave a lot of thought to this issue. You can read about some of the [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/community/view_topic.php?tid=39626&cid=2548&comic_id=18888]techniques I ended up using[/url] here.
