infoAbout This Title
Thank you so much for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!
Ooh, round numbers! Halfway to the next big round number! I like to try and save an important page for the big milestones if it makes sense in the story. This page is hardly a linchpin story moment, but it's a little more insight into the Red Team. Note Sciona didn't react like Lorlara and Vale, so you can tell she's not really part of the inner circle. But Cthillia seems to have just one foot in, and probably realizes he's more than just some guy who has an annoying knack for knowing stuff he shouldn't.
When asked, "If you're a super smart guy in a superhero universe, where's your power armor?" Deus responds with, "Maybe I'm so smart I don't need power armor."
Even doing a comic for as long as I have, I still have a lot of trouble putting what I envision in my head down in comic format. Mostly it's because I don't think in terms of panel layouts and word bubbles. It's all just a movie in my head, so there's some work translating that into a comic page. Usually there's some basic things that get changed, like this scene originally took place in a less well lit environment. Not a shadowy dungeon or anything, just like a party taking place at night, so there'd be a better chance for a little dramatic lighting, as the conversation could be lit by a single table lamp or something. Also, I'd originally pictured this exchange taking place after Deus had talked Cthillia out of her head wrap, making it so the "You're creepy" line was being delivered by a scaly, eye-tentacled anthropomorphic beholder monster, and thereby being a little more... ironic? I guess? I don't think that's strictly ironic actually. I'm sure it's some sort of rhetorical device, but I couldn't figure out what.
