iii – Very Helpful
Tuesday, December 19th, 2006— Commentary —
J.D.: It was an interesting challenge to warp Rex’s dialogue so that he seemed not-quite-together, and yet leave it legible to someone who didn’t know what he was saying. Also we had a big fight about the shape of Bryce’s head. Well, fight is too strong, but —
Craig: Yeah, Bryce’s head reminds me of Patrick Stewart’s, so I sort of tried to draw it that way.
J.D.: And I kept trying to redraw it another way. So the shape of his head changes subtly from panel to panel.
Craig: I love how the background in panel 1 is so washed out by comparison to Rex and Bryce. It really makes them stand out and makes the background seem less real.
J.D.: Actually, I washed out the background in large part to give the impression of very strong sunlight, because I thought it was important to give the impression of the passage of time between the beginning and end besides Bryce looking at his watch.
Craig: Yeah, I think one of the weaknesses of this page is that it doesn’t communicate as well as I’d like that Rex was there all day.
J.D.: Except for Bryce saying so.
Craig: I should probably have broken this up into two pages. But then, we had this discussion at the time.
J.D.: And this worked best.
Craig: I’m very proud of Rex’s hands in panel 4. I had been practicing hands a lot and I think they came out pretty well.
J.D.: I had so much fun working with the color on the last panel. It was morbidly entertaining. Should I not have said that? 🙂
Craig: I remember I used my Luigi doll as my model for the last panel–
J.D.: I remember that! And you were holding him as though you were going to kill him!
Craig: –yeah, like I was gonna pop his head off. Which… gih. Anyway.
J.D.: Yeeeaaaah… The stitchwork on Rex’s sleeves in panel 4 took a lot of work. But I think it looks good.
Craig: It does. Very cool.
J.D.: And for those who want to know what the book says… you’re not supposed to be able to read it.
Craig: Yeah. It’s… druidic. Yeah.
J.D.: 🙂 Actually, I didn’t want to have to pin down what the book said.

Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my website to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains.
If you know of any please share. Thanks! I saw similar article here: Eco product
