JT , that Spider-Man and Black Cat piece is really good. And you couldn't have chosen a more difficult pose... I wonder if I could pull off something like that. And the coloring is amazing .

And just like I said yesterday, I'm posting a couple of pages which I just translated (so if the lettering looks kind of rushed I apologize for it). The scanning didn't go so well, but I think you'll get the idea.

OK, so what page do you like the most?

Great job Arc! I think it's hard to pull off a long talking head sequence and still keep it visually interesting, but you do a nice job of drawing different shots, angles and compositions to keep it interesting. I find hair really challenging for some reason but you do an excellent job on the hair. The only things I don't think are working are the blacked out eyes in some of the panels and having a white background and then a black one in the next panel for a very similar shot. Thanks for sharing these Arc!

Thank you Dave! I think all the action is at the end of the story and maybe a bit on the first page. The rest is just talking heads. And I really appreciate the hair compliment, this was probably the first time I had to draw so much hair and try to make it look coherent according to the character.

If I can be totally honest, the  white background  was just a necessity (I didn't have time to add any real background due to the deadline!), and the same goes with the black background, I just thought that having only  white backgrounds could be kind of boring so I added a little black. Lack of time has been quite problematic. Anyway, here's another page:

Thank

the last panel on that page is really good. I like what you did with the background a lot. You really get a nice sense of him being in the woods.

I'm taking a bit of a break from the sequentials to finish this little doodle...

Thank you. That's definitely the best panel of the page. It's amazing how long it took me to do the first rough sketches and in the end I didn't have enough time to add all the details I wanted. But at least that panel was good.

 

Anthony J Lombardi: Very good piece. I especially like what you've done with the shadows. I'm just beginning to learn the basics about black and white ...

So, how does this look? Too confusing? Is it clear it's two guys talking?
