Not much to say about this page. lol

I think it's more of an optical illusion. When I was drawing it I thought she looked too short as well, but when I made her taller she was WAY too big. Height-wise, she only goes up to his shoulders. (See page 1 panel 3). On top of that, he's 2 stairs above her. Since she is pretty much standing upright, you can measure her out and see how tall she's be if you move her to the same step that the guy is standing on. You'll see that her height is about right.
Fair enough, but consider one of the main rules of art: If it looks wrong, it's wrong, even if it's right. (And its corollary, "if it looks right, it's right, even if it's wrong.")Originally Posted by splintercannon
Anyway, it seems a little strange to spend a whole page on something like this -- a whole 1/3 of the page for the guy turning around? But maybe it's just because I don't have context. The last panel looks great -- it has a really strong, almost intimate feel to it, like we really are looking right into her eyes, and she's looking back at us. That's oddly hard to pull off. The perspective may be a bit off -- the column in the middle of the spiral staircase reads more as actually being slanted diagonally than as receding downward into the distance.
There's going to be a large block of text in that pannel.
Thanks! One of the rules I live by when I draw comics is to make sure there is acting and expression. It's something I wish there was more of in the comics out now. :P
