Peace and Joy: Just When

[rowyn]

This has some of the worst drawings in the entire run. The only one I like is the panel with Peace looking back over her shoulder. It also made me acutely aware of how many panels in this project are simply two people talking to each other. 'Course, most comic panels are two people talking to each other, and I prefer that to, say, two people fighting, so I don't know what I'm complaining about.

Oh, and I ran out of room for the words in the top panel, obviously. But the last panel of page 15 is the only one where my first effort to cram the words in was such a flop that I wound up cut-n-pasting (literally! Well, scotch-taping, technically) a new word balloon in over the failed one. But hey, that counts!

If it's any comfort, I just drew the worst Edna I have EVER drawn yesterday.

You have my sympathies, believe me.

However, I gotta say your new icon is ADORABLE. }:D Reminds me of the expression in the drawn one you used to use, when you had long hair.

Ah, but in comic books, most panels are of two people fighting *AND* talking to one another! (Entire paragraphs of monologue between each "POW!" and "ZAP!" and "WHUD!") =)

I see, this is where I went wrong. In my one fight scene, all that's being said is "Take this! And that!" Obviously, I need more detailed banter to go with the mayhem. :)

Yeah, and you need to have a dramatic panel with the faerie in a pose (one leg bag, one bent, one arm pulled back, and the other one thrust forward in exaggerated perspective - with a clobbered aphid being blasted, askew, toward the viewer, stage-right).

Hm. Tempted to draw. Too bad I'm at work.

Tarantara! Taran-tara! (Faerie Guard arrives amidst fanfare, and then we find out they're better at blowing their own horns than in actually killing stuff?)

***** INCOMING MESSAGE *****

The remaining plot could be as simple as this: Peace and Joy fetch the guard; much insect exoskeleton is kicked; Diana is saved; everyone is happy.

I expect more from you. That is why I am intrigued to see where the plot is going.

I don't particularly care how good or bad the drawings are. The story and characters are the core; the art is merely an embellishment. As long as they convey soul and passion, they are good.
