Yeah, I, uhm, don't exactly know what's going on with that architecture in the first panel. Blame it on high altitudes. I'll replace it with something more accurate later. There should be two statues, but there should also be something identifiable between them :)
You don't survive for years in the legions without learning something. Felix is marshalling his forces instead of just charging off by himself. Give the boy a gold star. DRW.
We may now all shuffle our feet, swing our hips, and rotate our arms in front of us saying: Nannie, Nannie, Boo_Boo, Felix gonna get you!!!! Then turn around and moon them!!
uhm, er, so there was high altitude fog between the two statues and it obscured the architecture? Looks great to me. Fine action pacing with the rapid succession of vertical images.
Sure, fog, why not :) Or high altitude in the room where I was drawing, and fog obscured the connections between my brain cells? Eh, never mind me. If I don't have something to fret about, I get all itchy.
This is, as the kids say nowadays, made of awesome. I love the way there are lots of little frames in a row - it's like telling the exciting part of a story with short choppy sentences, or making the exciting part of a movie with lots of jump cuts. Way cool. And I love that Felix IS the big ol' slab of beef. Heh.
...and fitting it all in one row had nothing whatsoever to do with being at the bottom of this sheet of illustration board ;) (Nah, it really didn't, this sequence of four installments was planned to fit on one sheet :) )
Okay, must get to drawing, or I'll miss my self-imposed deadline of a new comic today. It might actually be past midnight before I get finished, though, so let's say, "a new comic before I fall asleep."
Off Topic -- Klio, check out the Internet Review of Science Fiction's review of your story "Brownman" in Strange Horizons -- you earned a Recommended, which Lois Tilton doesn't toss around like bread at the Circus.
As for today's comic -- things are happening so fast, there's no ROOM for dialogue! Wow.
I'm embarrassed to say I don't understand the 3rd panel. She looks mad at him? Is that the girl Vitalis sent out to get a slab of beef, aka Felix? I don't remember who the fat guy is. I guess I should go look at old strips to find out?
(but re the previous strips - woo! Squeee! oooooweee! Things are gonna get exciting!)
There's so much expression in these drawings. I used to want to be able to draw so badly, because my Mom could paint and I thought I should be able to. It's like magic---little lines on a page, and suddenly! Wow!
And I guess there's the whole picture is worth a thousand words thing---it feels like such a complete story (well, complete chapters, maybe? lol since the whole thing isn't here yet!).
