Transitions

I am a fan of transitions. I believe that they allow for a nice balance in between scenes. The transition lets me build even more on my world. It allows me to show that the world is alive just as the characters are and helps me create a nice flow of tempo.

Ok I understand it can get frustrating if you are caught up and have to wait a day or two for the next page. Yet they make things much clearer as you read through the comic as a whole and when in in print enhances the book even more.

Transitions are key, especially in an epic, where we move in-between places and characters. They also help me move things along when I feel a scene is toooo long.

So in a nutshell, they are a moment to take a breath and wait for the rollorcoaster to begin again. Now back to tea and a little quiet creativity.

    Haha, no not yet, as you can see another week went past. Finals are looming so that's what's eating up my time. I will try to check in at least once a week though, that I promise 🙂

    And awesome 🙂 You do the writing and lettering too? I actually have a slew of questions to ask if you would be open to that because for my final project in one class I'm writing up a comicbook/graphic novel proposal…

        That's good to know ^^

        And thank you. There's never any rush of course, I'm just really happy that you are so willing to answer questions. Hope its a good busy over all and thanks for the luck 🙂 I am enjoying finals over all this semester, doing book cover art as well at this proposal and a few other things.

I am a bit dunk. And in this state I realize that I have always other things to do, like enjoying my life (not drinking of course) when it comes to getting frustrated when "you are caught up and have to wait a day or two for the next page. ". I am happy when you are happy for your own work (which is great).

    "I am a fan of transitions." :)) A kernel is not efficient either when if switch from a task to another to often. Don't lose yourself :p

Transitions can be tricky, but you do them well.

Loving your story telling, sorry for vanishing a bit in my comments; school stole my life. Curious, do you do these completely traditionally with just pen and ink or some of it on the computer or what?

I love your transitions. It's 1 of the main reasons this story reads so pleasantly. 🙂

At least these transitions are interesting to look at in their own right.
I seem to have a sound track for each frame!
Thunderous confusion, voice-over-
Oncoming clanking march, drums, shouting commands-
Forest sounds with bird-calls-
