Description The mood in this page is probably the climax of chapter one, so something intense should do the trick, and what can be more intense than close-ups?? wheeee

Heehee, well at least thats what I thought.

Final page coming up, with the couple's little humor moment before we say "end of chapter 1"

I love Raven's face in this one - the brief closeup is very effective. I especially appreciate the detail of Richard's eyes showing up faintly behind his mask.

I LOVE the look on Raven's face all throughout this page. It's so perfectly telling without being outright expressive. Wonderful work, as usual.

Ya know, sometimes writing Raven is easier than writing Robin. Writing him in Estranged was like pulling teeth, every single chapter that came from his pov. I think it depends on the story for me and where their mindset is -- Richard Grayson in Estranged DID NOT want to talk or reveal anything to anybody, including me. And yet, in It Only Takes a Moment, he's blabbing and revealing away, happy as a lark and yet Raven is the recalcitrant one.

But yeah...I get what you mean.

Hrmm . . . you made a small typo. it should be "did they call for richard or robin" instead of "called". it might also be a good idea to erase the rough curves around the world bubbles. overall, it's very good! keep 'em coming!

i especially like the 2nd to the last panel of this page; raven looks beautiful while trying to look nonchalant. quick question: what's that book she's reading?

thanks for the note on th typo and yes, those rough sketches around th bubbles does get disturbin, tee hee

beauty of nonchalance is one of lots of things that i like from raven, it's fun to draw glad you liked it too!

bout the book, i figured maybe th title "the mystery of Wicca" might sound intriguing to her

I would say that close ups of eyes plus the contrasting of the deep blue to the orange on either side of the bird's eyes pulls off Intendity rather well.

I also have to say again that I love the way you draw eyes, and can not wait to see Robins eyes unhindered by the mask.

That frame has to be my favorite, that you can tell when he is being much more open when you can see the outlines in the third and last frame.

I have one more thing to say and then I will leave you be (till the next post...). I really like that you do not completely clean all the lines from your sketches away, or that you do not just have one solid line for all the outlines like lineart. It gives it a little more of a rougher feel that I think is good with comics. Reminds me of the Fables series if you are familiar.

Night!!

before you leave,
thank you! i loved how the third frame turned out myself, but hearing ppl express and explain it is even better!

Ah, fables from vertigo comics?yes i've heard that too, and i think jim lee's style of sketchy lines inspired me to do that, hee hee

thank you again for the comment!!!

Blue eyes....I just love Robin's blue eyes.

(Just to tell you, Raven should say "Did they call for Richard or Robin?")

Looks good nothing constructive or quibbly really to say about it otherwise... the lighting is very dramatic though.
