hmmm, Iain’s wording in his “agreement” with Winters makes me wonder how things will end up playing out. If he winds up deciding that they AREN’T as dangerous as the Gen. thinks, then it could complicate things a lot.
So, are his hands above or below the table? Because he’s switching them pretty fast. Also, this whole segment needs a whole lot less bold.
^ Dude, I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about with that bold comment.
FYI: His hands aren’t even shown in panel one. Also, comics don’t generally show every single moment of a scene, otherwise they’d be animated.
I have to agree with Andrew on the “hands” issue, and not just because we share a name. First we see an under-the-table POV; we see both of the general’s hands under the table, a gun in one hand, which is dramatic and important. Then two smaller panels, close-up on eyes. Then an over-the-table POV with both hands above the table. There is no sense that much time has passed, and no follow-up to the dramatic gun, so we are left to wonder what happened to it. I honestly wondered at first if you were trying to suggest that he had “fake” arms on top of the table while he secretly held a gun under the table.
I’m not trying to be over-critical, just defending the earlier criticism as a valid one.
@Andy, you do realize that this page was posted May 16th 2009 right? Even with the original comment by Andrew, you are still over a year late to the party. lol We have come a long way, we are on page 200, this was page 16.
We took the constructive criticism and went with it, over a year ago.
Oh, I thought you might want someone reading your comic through from the start, showing interest, and commenting on it. My mistake. Apologies.
@Andy: Drew wasn’t trying to sway your interest or even state that your crit wasn”t valid. He was just letting you know that the page is pretty old, and the style of the comic has changed drastically since then.
I agree with your critque as far as the pacing on this page goes, this comic has been a learning process for me since the begining, so your bound to see some issues with my work as you read through it. Drew was just stating that if your going to critique old pages, you should realize that they don’t represent the current standards of the comic. No offence was meant by his post, or mine now, this is just simply our opinion.
Holly, thanks for clearing all that up. Since tone doesn’t come through in text, these types of conversations can go downhill fast. My whole point was just that Andrew had a valid criticism that I felt was brushed off at the time and for some reason I felt the need to defend him when I probably should have just let it be. I look forward to reading the rest of Terra and seeing how the story and story-telling has progressed.
