Peace and Joy, page 10

[rowyn]

This is possibly my favorite page out of the whole series, even though the proportions between the aphids and the faeries are totally whacked. I had in mind that the faeries are about 6 inches high, and I'm thinking aphids are, oh, maybe an 1/8th of an inch. The aphids really shouldn't be more than fist-sized relative to Joy. On the other hand, I don't actually show the faeries relative to any humans. So maybe Diana is actually much smaller than a human herself and the faeries are actually only an inch or less in height. Yeah. Right.

Anyway, I like this page mostly just because I got very giggly drawing Joy charging in amongst the aphids. Kicking carapace and taking names! Also, I actually squeezed a decent number of panels into it, which pleases me for no particularly good reason. And I like the way the aphids look, especially the one booted off the leaf, who looks rather confused to me. I was tempted to give the aphids thought balloons ("Mama?") but decided against personifying them.

How appropriate that Joy is taking pleasure in combat and Peace is trying to stop her.

In the last panel, I'm imagining Joy with a whip. It would suit her outfit, don't you think? That would be an entirely different sort of comic.

You enjoy my titles. Why don't you make some of your own? Make a title for each page when you post it.

I might call this one "Hudson's Revenge", but I have a penchant for the dramatic and cryptic.

Well, as far as size goes, maybe Diana can be different sizes if she wants - she's a projection of a tree, as it were.
