Hello Dear Readers.
I think you're in for a treat today, not a treat of quantity, but of quality. Here is is!
Page 89
THIS is where I wanted the quality to be. Good character designs, good drawings, exciting action, personality and emotion shown. OOH, and it's dynamic too!
Panel 1 - Mom being moved out to an ambulance on a stretcher. Tough to draw to get the perspective right and not make the stretcher look TOO huge or Mom small. CHECK!
Panel 2 - Good drawing of Fancy running and the jeep looks quite good and solid. CHECK!
Panel 3 - I know I said I wouldn't do crazy camera angles, but I thought this wasn't too nuts and would be pretty easy to film - Did you hear I got this thing optioned? No, me neither. Anyway, should this ever get sold and they want to film it, this'll be an easy shot to get. Drawing a bit of detail on the jeep hood and the shadows helps this look not so flat. CHECK!
Panel 4 - Fancy looks tired, still a bit sick but sure is determined. The screen left hand on the steering wheel isn't quite so great, but I think it works. CHECK!
Panel 5 - Reuse of previous image. CHECK! Good time savings!
Panel 6. GREAT drawing of the jeep. Also, I think I finally got Dave looking about right - Mid 60's ex military man who's had it with the buttoned up, pressed shirt look, enjoys the donut beside his coffee a bit much, so one turns into two, but he could still bench press you, your mommy and a heap of your stinky diapers.
Ah, I love when a page comes together!
