Whooo! This page was a pain in the butt, and I went back and forth a lot over the course of it. If I had to give this page a theme it'd be "seesaw" I had an emotional vision, but not a storybeat one, if that makes sense?
Essentially, I had an idea of the emotion I wanted to elicit, but not the way I wanted to go about it. So you'll see that I make lots of adjustments to the focal points in the frames, change the text, and just generally struggle with knowing what I want to say. I think in the end I settled on something I like, though I wonder at times like this what I'll think of the page a year or two from now, once I've had more time to reflect on it. ^^;
Edit:
By the way, I've been thinking of posting early concepts, and thumbnails of my process for the intermission comic I have planned. Is that something you'd be interested in seeing?
