Sorry this isn't very clear. This comic shows the events of how Leonardo and I first meet. The first image is me, crouching behind bushes under a cape. The view pans out to show me overlooking a development on the ocean. A turtle shell is shown tied to the ground, and various figures surround the turtle with weapons. The next scene, shows me using my staff to fend off the guards. It does some crazy magic things, and the fire "beads" on it burst off to attack my enemies…..
Next, my staff breaks the bonds that hold Leonardo as he looks at me from within my shell. Leonardo, now freed, looks over to the ocean in the distance to show I have given him his freedom. However, Leonardo decides to bow to me, creating an everlasting friendship of awesomeness and happiness :D
And we ride into the forest together!
Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of telling a complex story without relying on words, and a great job of illustrating the setting in this fantasy world. I especially love the final four panels, really nice job of pacing. Only comments: Make sure your scale is consistent with Leonardo's scale in the last 4 panels. For the action scene where you are fighting off his captors, think about possibly changing it to a few action-to-action panels or even aspect-to-aspect to help build up the tension of that scene. You could still keep the way that main panel is framed, and maybe just add a smaller one on either side that shows a closeup or detail of the fight scene. Let me know if you have any questions!
