Description

So this is the finished piece for the mock up page I did. Again, this was just for style practice and isn't an official page in the graphic novel. I wanted to practice loose work because it;'s where my forte is. I can tighten up but it seems that's always an up hill battle so that will be relegated probably to covers, pin-ups, character art, and the like. I'm thinking of settling into a less refined style for the mane meat of the graphic novel for 2 reasons, that being A, I love it. I get so much pure joy when I'm drawing like this, it's so free to me, and I don't get the same rush when I'm beating something into perfection.
and B, I have a HUGE story to get through. I'm already looking at a couple years of diligent work! I can't have pages taking for ever! LOL

So this was fun. I know I promised to have some text like narrative boxes and the like, but doing this, I realized, I don't need em! this page is a stand alone and I feel like words would detract from it's impact.

So, you guys, tell me, what you interprit, cuz I'd love to hear it. let me know what you take away from this, eh? XD

enjoy mateys XD
