Book 1 – Ch.5 – Pg.10
Sincerely: I complain a lot about transition pages. They slow down the comic both in terms of pacing (cuz webcomics) and also how long it takes to draw them (cuz they’re usually background heavy). But with a decade between them and me, I gotta say. I love all of the transitions in this chapter.
Will this revelation change how I feel about using them in Book 2 or The Verdant Deep? Unlikely.
Elliwiny: The transitions are important to Opportunities and I 100% stand by them. I mean, if I’d done them again now I’d use the space more effectively, but I’d do them. A writer who wrote a lot about Opportunities (Timothy Cramer) once praised us for putting all of our cards on the table, and it’s a quality I keep wearing like a badge. I think clearly showing where everyone is really makes scenes like this one work.
Transitions are good. Jack is grumpy, Kyan is suspicious. Too bad Jack’s aura is so out of place, compared to the rest of the crowds, it gave Kyan something to focus on :{
