I think Sarina was moving faster than a speeding bullet. Funnnnny.
Nice visualization work from script to illustration. Your packing
a lot of visual info for one page comic. Almost looks like you
would have more freedom if the comic could be expanded to
two pages, (but I know it's not set up that way).
[Two tiny observations - I remember it's being drawn on 8.5X11
paper, and you haven't done a comic in about 9 years:
1)...be mindful of perspective sizing - character vs character and
character vs background props. Make sure BK props align
with other BK props from panel to panel/page to page.
2)...a tad too much white space, page #74, below Panel Two.
A discussion came up with the idea of expanding Panel One
over to Panel Three, then embedding Panel Two into Panel
One with the vibrator noise carried all the way over to
Panel Three. Hence Manila, (Panel Two), would be looking
down in the general direction of a sound action - not white space.
(I'm sure everyone knew where she was looking anyway.)]

Heh...all those problems, (and more), that vexes cartoonist,
wax and wane. BUT, the real kicker...is...the general audience
normally can not tell the diff between "well" and "badly" done
work....be it illustration, comics, animation...you name it -
UNLESS the errors are egregious . They just don't know if
the product was suppose to be drawn that way...ie...in style!
Heck, twenty years ago a animation studio got fired over those
kind of problems, along with off-model characters - and yet,
the general audience didn't know anything was wrong; They
loved the show. Studio still got fired - a few years later after
"retooling" themselves they got hired by Disney to do some of
their t.v. shows. Problems wax...problems wane. [Take heart
drawing beginners in the group, all is not lost if ya think you're
lousy at drawing; just keep plugging away at it. Idea is to be
good at one thing in drawing while being lousy on all other
aspects in drawing. Sucks...doesn't it.]
Which brings to mind...How will the children book
illustrations be proofed? Just curious. ;P
P.S. Ya may want to put a CnC link in the link section.
