Description Finally a new SD page .

This one was a tough nut to crack. I think I've redrawn some panels more than 10 times . And then, after coloring I decided to flip a panel for the flow of reading. Then my SO pointed out that Javill (do you remember him?) was now switching his leather arm thingy from one to the other arm, so I had to redraw and color that. I know the other wardens pony tail still swaps place, but I was way waaay past the limit of time to invest in a single page. So I decided to leave it like this for now. *flails*

Either way, it's a new page . I hope it is worth all the trouble.

I think it's really cool though how the perspective in the first and last panel are opposite though.

Elsa knows her perspective, narrative and colors Great stuff. I would have added a panel after panel five showing a side view of the mountain in black and white silouettes, showing the girl falling. So it'd connect better with panel 7. Just my humble opinion.

ElsaKroese In reply to juantomajok [2012-09-14 10:28:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I thought about that sequence long and hard and changed it many times and it certainly isn't perfect in it's current state. I redrew the middle sequence many times and some versions had a side view like you describe. In the end, I decided that the shots I ended up with worked best. If I replace one of them by a side view it would be less strong, so I'd have to add an extra panel if I wanted it in, and this page already has 8 panels and feels quite crowded. Plus I didn't want to eat up to much space from the big panels. So, this is just a really lengthy way of saying, I do agree that adding the extra panel would make the transition more smooth, but in my eyes the cons weight heavier than the gain.

now breathe! lol. yeah, it's cool, i'm just saying you're right, redrawing a page or a panel you saw a million times is not my favorite thing either.

Oh gossshhh this page is gorgeous.... that last panel...!

I love Morwenna's expression there, she.... totally looks like Neb. XD Which is pretty appropriate to the situation.

haha yeah. That keeps happening . I'm not really doing it on purpose, but I guess I make her 'act' as if she was Neburas without thinking about it to much. I'm glad you like the page!

Awesome page ^^

On a side note, he may have moved his head, thus making his ponytail swish to the other shoulder, plausible, however I am glad you made Javill's leather shoulder guard thingy the other side else that would have been confusing ^^
