These pages are really inspirational to me. I have to try to do something with a more minimalistic artstyle and freer panel-flow one of these days.
I really love how you use the enviroments to define the panels in the previous pages, and how you´re not afraid to let parts fall into the black backgrounds.
Thanks - part of the idea of this exercise is speed - paring away at the art - and trying to get away from a more traditional panel arrangement on the page.
I can´t speak for the speed part, but the attempt to get away from the traditional panel arrengements certainly are successful. They´re very nice and interesting to look at, while utterly readable. And it doesn´t scream "Untraditional layouts!", it just looks like a natural extention of your style.
Looking forward to each page at this point now. I've always loved the dynamics and the flow of your page layouts and the action there-on. My did that sound pretentious! Great stuff so far.
I went to downthetubes.net because they had linked to my own web comic, Lovecraft is Missing. I followed their link to your comic, and Wow! It's fantastic....BUT have you ever considered using Wordpress/Comicpress instead of a blog for your pages? It really breaks the flow of the story to have to click on a page, then back up to click on the next. Via Comicpress the pages are posted at full size, and the reader can scroll back and forth through them, or go to a specific page. Keep up the good work.
