Instead of starting off with how long it's been since my last post (like all my other posts), let's jump into it shall we?
I wanted to add some form of background to the comic book's main character, with all the action that's been going on I realized, why would any reader care if these characters were put in danger? This was the first issue: no one knows who these people are! So I added this page in, as a little flashback when my character loses consciousness in page 22.
The thing is though, after doing this page I feel I need some more pages to it. So... I think I might actually add 2 more pages into the front of the book... maybe. Anyway, I guess I'll make the judgement whether I need those 2 pages, once I comp my book up. So! What took me so long to do this page! I have no idea! It's just a bunch of black panels!
This page will mainly be text driven, I wanted it to be from the main character's point of view, so the reader ends up being in her shoes. Yeah, I know it's not a very subtle way of making the reader 'connect' with the character but, hey! Go draw your own comic if you disagree so much!I initially wanted to do the wavy borders for the flashback sequence, but in the end I chose to go with the motion of the tilted panels that were built in from pages 2
2 and 24. I'm also going to make sure that when I color this page in, the color scheme is totally different from the previous pages. I have to make sure that the reader knows we're somewhere and somewhen else. I want to confuse them a little, but not too much.Man, this page has so much nothing in it, it's a wonder I took so long! Sigh.
That's it for this post, God Bless!
