page 14 original (Patreon)

so this was the original layout for page 14 which introduces us to holly properly. i like the idea of giving personal stats in a very domestic and mundane setting. I feel it has a bit of an intamacy to the character.

the rough was ok initially but i chose to go with black panels with a white text instead of just having them float. it felt more solidified. putting her name and stats in black boxes had a sort of horror movie quality to me where we see the coffee pot then follow up with her name, follow up with a shot of her drinking coffee. the graphic novel "Punisher; in the beginning" used a similar setup that i found....haunting even though it wasnt the intention.....maybe, maybe not.

i wanted to do an upward shot and originally went with the back but i had a later page where we had a decent shot of her butt so i decided to do the final with her facing front. i liked it a lot better
