um…does everyone really want me to comment on these things? I feel silly saying thanks all the time, even if I really mean it and enjoy reading positive comments.
How about I'll answer direct questions? They don't even have to be about the page!
okay here goes….
ttyler! I rarely use photo reference–directly. I should use it more, since it makes my drawing that much more informed. I do however, collect a lot of reference materials and maintain an internal fountain of imagery– I've lived in Savannah, Detroit, and currently live in Chicago…and all have amazing old buildings and rivers EVERYWHERE. I like to soak in it.
As for the multiple people who made some remarks over my “doodle” comment, on my acceptance page…I'm very sorry. Any page that I crank out in two hours lacks some serious control, and while not a true “doodle”, it's a kinda half-assed page. Maybe I'll grab a gel-pen and whip up a real crappy doodle page, and astound you all with the total lack of polish.
Ah yes, and a rathskellar is german for “below-ground bar”. Maybe someone could look up “Traume von…”?

Meh....I try to give some comments back on the artist blog thing...but *sigh* am just a little too lazy. And people generally know how ya feel about the nice comments. ^_^ I love you ink works...beautiful. Ooo! And how you used a reflection in the mirror to show the gentleman speaking...very creative!

"Ah! But I have shown him indirectly in the reflection of the Bar mirror in panel four!" Oh Yeah! Like I said before, very effective storytelling... only better!

According to my translator, traume von (from German to English) = "dream of".

Hmm... that's some good business sense there! Definitely a shifty group of individuals!

Great characterizations on the denizens of the bar. And very effective story telling choice of not showing the protagonist in any of the panels.

I thought Rathskellars were confined to American university campuses. ;) Re-congrats on the feature, since I've been incommunicado. Don't know anyone who deserved it more!
