"Velocifist..."


Just a quick update to make me feel like I'm actually making real progress...

This is the Eisenvater's "last gasp" panels... by the end of the page, his doing days are over... he's done.
I just wanted him to take one last shot at our hero before completely losing heart and falling to his knees in exhaustion.
The next set of panels shows the result of his last desperate headshot... and our boy grinning and looking down at him menacingly to show how unhurt he is.

I hope it looks as effective on paper as it does in my head...

I'm still debating putting some sort of textured element in the background of panel 3... maybe just some hatching. Is it really necessary.. I dunno...

Looks great..I'd leave panel 3's background clean, like the others...enuf info going on with the foreground guys, I think...

Thanks for the feedback, Justin...
I'm just worried that having a bunch of static background panels will make the work look kinda stilted and empty.

I guess I'm just used to cramming more detail into my panels from earlier...

I hope you like the next sequence as well... I'll have them up soon...

sometimes less is more.

Justin...
Do you seriously think it's okay to have almost an entire fight scene take place without any real backgrounds to speak of?
Is the area established well enough to warrant such treatment?

I totally appreciate your input on these matters, man.... thanks!

Only 6 or so more pages to go!
