096 - Not With Me -

Page 096

Well, this might be my favorite scene in the entire story right here. Not so much as the actual artwork, but the event itself. ^_^

I really don't have much to comment on this page other than the second to last panel is a good example of the contrast of Shawn and Emma's skin color. Shawn has always had a slightly pale tone to his skin, while everyone else around him has a healthy, normal color. It was supposed to be a subconsicous reminder of his sickness ... but not now that I mentioned it ... heh heh. ^^;

095 - The Weight of Memories -

T_T Poor Shawn, first I make him moody, now he's crying. Kinda emo-ish if you ask me. :D

If this looks like a breaking point in the story, it is. If you've been kind of snoozing along, I hope the rest of the story wakes you up a little, because it's "all downhill goin' from here."

094 - A History Lesson -

MAJOR PLOT REVELATION! WOO!!

Ok, in case Jennifer and Jen looking exactly alike and having the *same* name didn't tip you off, maybe you caught the bright blue eye color hint. I hope everyone can read the aged article text. It's been a while, but if you refer to page 10, Jennifer mentioned that Minnie had a weird sickness. I'm still learning a lot about storytelling, but one thing I LOVE is details - eye color, vague mentioning. I think the greatest compliment that a webcomic artist can get is if people actually remember something from page pages, RE-READ your comic, and then notice the fact that you had the entire story in mind and organized from the very beginning. I never want to "trick" my readers so much that I have to draw flashbacks to justify an event. I have plans for an upcoming comic with a lot of big twists, but I will always leave breadcrumbs on the trail. :) Um yeah ... how's that for rambling?

093 - Sinking In -

Page 093

In case anyone ever wondered what my opinion on the subject is: Cloud and Tifa forever. If you don't have a clue as to what I'm talking about, and you didn't see a cameo in page 93, don't worry about it. :)

Anyway, the writing for this page was kind of tough because Emma's thoughts are kind of all over the place - her feelings, her problems, his feelings, his problems. Oh, and that first panel is what I think a moderately throbbing headache looks like. ^^;

Oh, and there's actually another cameo in this page - the super helpful librarian is actually Robyn from Offsides.
