TM535- Notes and Comp (Patreon)

I haven't been deviating too much from the 2007 version because I still agree with a lot of the choices I made at the time. But, I changed the architecture of the fortress a bit. One thing I see talked about in storyboarding tutorials a lot is being aware of spatial arrangements, which is what I also try to do in my comics... I ended up placing this scene in a darkish hallway instead of in an open room like before, just to make it feel a bit more den-ish? Threatening? But that meant changing around some of the wall hangings and furniture, and limited the size of the pictures on the wall. Originally Phe's portrait was very large and allowed for a dramatic swivel like in the original first panel, but now I'm like, stuck in this little hallway and having Luca make a 180 degree turn made him look like a ballerina or something, haha. So I changed the action to be a slower swivel that started by focusing on the hands, which removed the necessity of the three middle panels, so I just funneled the composition nto Hyla's face instead. 

I also thought he looked too immediately confused/ abashed in the original instead of angry, so now he mad.

As a side note I hate the stupid pages, I hate the rocks on the walls and the lack of a good strong light source and the dull colors, it all makes me want to throw my computer through a window. GIVE ME BACK MY JUNGLE haha.
