Page Eleven
Since I’m so terribly late I’ve gone ahead and uploaded the black and white page, which I’ll update with color as soon as that’s done. I’ve also gone the extra mile on background detail out of guilt! Oh boy, I’m excited to be doing pages with dialogue in them again! Real dialogue that’s important to the plot!
And, I’m going to call the background fill in panel two a HATE SWIRL.
OH NOES HATE SWIRL
Also, f1rst.
OH GODS I HATE MYSELF.
*hate swirl appears IRL*
Wow, her shirt is pulling. XD
Hate swirl = the most awesome.
And yay! Dialogue! I missed it, kind of.
aaaaaaah plot! Wasn’t expecting this turn at all :D
And his face on the last panel is gorgeously drawn. Actually, all of him over the page. I guess black and white makes it easier to appreciate how some charachters have undergone a long process of interiorizing by you (is that even English?)
It really is. I think this is about the time I first started to find him handsome. I thought I was hallucinating or crazy or something but it’s totally true!
Schtein is just so intense and glarey the entire page. IT’S SO CONSISTANT!!!
He’s as angry as usual! Nice to see they didn’t crush his spirit yet! >xD
I love the fact that, even for the “quick” B/W version, you still painted the red eyes. Very neat little detail :)
(Oh, and I bet all of madame Langstrom’s trophies are for violent activities.)
naw, the cup shaped one is for rowing boats. The one on the right is for lacrosse. Is lacrosse violent?
Is lacrosse violent… XD
My brother lost teeth to that game!
Is lacrosse violent? You mean the sport that’s popularly known as the single most violent women’s sport?
Rowing boats, not so violent, unless they allow oar checking.
Oooh he looks PISSED. Also thanks for teaching me some self-defense with that little joint kick trick right thurr.
Also also! ROCKBAND SCHTEIN. LMAO. For a sec I thunk you was trying out 3D modeling there. I was like FFF THAT WOULD MAKE THE COMIC AWESOME times a thousand.
hehe, hate swirl sounds like a weird ice-cream flavor. I like it! It would be awesome if it showed up again.
It’s kind of good to know Langstrom wasn’t a jerk all the time.
The hate swirl. C’est magnifique.
Schtein’s face on the last panel: I want to marry it.
Awww.
I’m going to be a jerk and say D’AW Langstrom and his sis were CUTE.
you know, i kind of welcome the return of b/w :)
so Sin City ;)
actually, old b/w version with just a touch of colour and old white layout of the site was what caught my attention in the first place.
your inking is excelent tho’ :)
Wow, this kinda reminds you that she’s a human too..
For a moment there I felt sorry for her, but then I saw Shtein’s awesome glare! I love his expression :D
Ahahaha, I like to make my characters in Rock Band, too!
Oh boy, I wonder what’s coming next…
Every update gives me more reason to wish these were published in a book where I could read them all in one sitting.
Oh no!
No body violation on guy that hates people to touch him! poor Schtein…
Thanks for your comic! many people said it, but i will say it too: God, i love your comic
Fear the hate swirl! lol
As much as I hate the woman, I can’t help but feel sorry for her in the first panel.
Great job humanizing the warden in that first panel. I can’t say I like Langstrom any more, though; he’s still (well, was) a jerk. And someone said earlier that they wanted to marry Schtein’s expression in the last panel–yeah, I do, too. That’s just…just…*hearts appear above head*
Anyway, I appreciate the extra work on the background. Also, I want to kick Simpson.
^_^ This comic is SO GOOD.
I don’t feel sorry for Langstrom. But I feel sorry for the warden. Langstrom was a back stabbing, self-centered, selfish jerk, but he was someone’s family :/
I feel pretty bad about the director though. Poor guy D:
Me too, he was so pleasant. Like a tiny science santa.
There’s something inherently gorgeous in that last panel.
watch her approve that Dr. S killed the annoying bastard.
SHE BETTER F*CKING APPROVE.
I just started reading this today… Found you through The Meek, and I’ve got to say, this is pretty awesome! :D
The latest vote incentive gives me the chills. In a good way.
What is it with women and power positions always having to have that scalp burning bun? Maybe its that same thing as kindly old gentlemen having mustaches. She wouldn’t have quite the same scariness about her without that bun…. can you imagine pigtails? *snorts*
Warden Langstrom’s posture, especially the angles of the lines on her arms, came out exceptionally well in the second to last panel.
This is a really defining moment for Dr. Schtein. With the way he freaks out at being strangled by Delia and obsesses over keeping his hands clean, it would be completely unsurprising if he huddled and shrank away from the warden. People with neuroses can so easily be sniveling cowards. But no. He know he’s in deep shit, that there’s nothing he can do about it, and he straightens his back and faces her without fear. Excellent form.
He’s going to need that backbone if he’s going to be a super villain. Can’t be cringing and making terrified faces at every adversary. Nope, he’ll meet them HEAD ON.
Props.
