This was short but SO GORGEOUS! While I feel like a lot of story was told here, it was still a bit jarring how suddenly it stops. Still, Wizzie's nightmares are vicious and this was fantastically done in ink and paint and composition and everything, i wish i could do in a whole comic what you do in two pages!
one word: texture.
i love the textures of this comic: woods, rubbles, smoke and other fluids, i absolutly love it.
Also, i guess Wizzie is not a morning person. Judging by Jiko's reaction, it must be pretty common
I always love reading your comics. Wizzie belongs to that 1% of characters on the site that have gone through a lot of growth and change. Not only that but your own personal style has changed a great deal over the years. I love it. The fact that you were able to do so much in just two pages is a testament to your skill and something for people to learn from.
If there's anything I could offer here as critique is that I'd like some more wider establishing shots. Everything is very upclose. Even on that second page, that shot of the building still feels crowded. Something I've been concentrating on lately is reading European Franco-Belgian comics and the spacious feel of the backgrounds. Like I feel like you could have zoomed out a little more for more impact.
I have a similar feeling about the first page. Since panels and gutters tend to dictate time, I feel like Wizzie getting up happens too quickly. Like she would still be in the middle of that action. Not only that, if you pulled out a bit more, you could have combined all those corpses around her in that first panel. There's two beats there. The impact of the eye shaped crater she's standing in and the shock of the corpses.
Either way these pages are gorgeous and can't wait to see what direction you'll head in next.
Short, sweet, and frickin BEAUTIFUL. This was a great little treat, your art is always a genuine pleasure.
Your background details and colors are fun and keep each panel looking busy and exciting.
Wonderful job!
This is gorgeous, and I love the way you've made her room feel lived in, and really an extension of her. I'm also a big fan of how the gutters on page 2 are off white, and that whole page just looks so good, even in thumbnail size.
DALE WILL PREVAIL! Fucking right! Good on ya, Hats. The composition is tight and the colors are beautiful!The story leaves me wanting more! A nice teaser for sure
Nothing mega or special, just a 2-page scene from a postponed comic that I'd still like to be part of Wizzie's official archive. Drawn a couple of weeks ago.
