SS7 15 Finding
skyangel on June 15, 2019
One thing I'm often very conscious of is script vs artwork. Too many pages of two girls in the same setting such as this feels artistically restricting at times and although the easiest way to skip through them is by just doing head shots I do like to try to keep each page visually interesting.
When it comes to writing the script however I feel some things are very important to the story itself, some things important to the character relationships, and other things which feel important for the reader to know to give depth or meaning to the other two, but without burying the art in text either to accommodate all three.
So as always I tend to to think we can have so much in this scene before it starts to get a little tedious and then cut to a side story or different scene to keep things feeling fresh and exciting. So when at this point I'm thinking we have been in this field for five pages, I get the strong urge to take the ‘camera’ some place else just to give us all a break!
Just thinking aloud! :)
Have a nice week!

Quiet little installment, but with some interesting "camera" angles. And, for reason, I love the way Sarah's crouching/kneeling in the last frame. I dare say we'll find out just what the girls have found in due course, but I'll be surprised if it's just "some sort of farm implement."

Well, that pose did work & oddly I think it adds to the strip.

Fruitbat: That was a very tricky pose to do, mostly for capturing the depth of the scene more than anything. In my first sketch it looked like Sarah was on the edge of a cliff and when I tried to ease back it looked like she was just kneeling in front of the spade! lol I love my lightbox though as I can move the sketches and retrace them without having to sketch the whole things over and over. .. And yes, we will be coming back to this spot again later on ;)

Would still like to see what the farm implement is...

It's the little things that matter, just as much as the big things :D

We all know what you mean - I for one have never had trouble with your pages...even 5 consecutive ones in a field B-) ...and the colouring gives them lots of life, while the 'camera' has some good angle here .

Bear: Thanks. While making my own comic I always try to think about the things that bother me while reading other peoples to try and steer clear of the same thing. As you know yourself, being a writer has a different viewpoint from being a reader.
