Wow! I've actually made it to fifteen pages! And now that I have an end figured out for the story I know I can finish it!
After last week's page and some various discussions about how I format my comic I've decided to experiment with border textures. Things were pretty evenly divided amongst my watchers whether the plain white borders looked "unfinished" or not, so I've decided to try different textures and methods of applying them each week until I find something that I like.
Eventually I'd like to get into making my own textures for the borders but I just didn't have the time last/this week. So this week's border texture is brought to you by Meridiann on DA, and you can find the original here
When I had first started scripting out these next few pages I had originally intended to give a little more exposition about where the monster-things came from by having Rod examine the paintings on the wall. I had even gone so far as scripting out the "backstory" on a few separate sheets of paper so that I could keep everything straight. I had really enjoyed drawing in a more "archaic" style like back on Page 4 and I had wanted to get back into that style of story telling at least for a little bit.
But the more I scripted out and sketched the pages, the more I realized that I just couldn't afford another lull in the action like that. Even if explaining the origins of the monster-things would shed a little bit of light on some events coming up in the comic I really feel like if I took too much longer in getting to the "meat" of the story then the whole thing would become dull and stale. So over the past few months I made an executive decision to just move the main story along, but at least tell the back-story in the background. That's why, in the second panel, I put Rod smack-dab in the middle of the panel right in front of one of the "ancient paintings" - readers will naturally be drawn to her, the character, but their eyes will also follow the trail of the story since she's juxtaposed right in front of it.
For those just tuning in, "Pent" is the name of Rod (this character's) companion. Rod and Pent parted ways all the way back on Page 7, when Pent told Rod to ride to these caves where he would meet her.
So is it really Pent that she heard?
Well, you'll just have to come back next week to find out ;)
