Not much to say about this page, except.... look at the first panel in the sketch, and compare it to the final page, here. Go on, I'll wait! 

Yeah, quite different, huh? 

As you can see in the script page, it was planned as this. But when the sketch was done, I was unhappy with it. It was..... boring. 

I needed that panel, to show Delilah arriving at the apartment complex. But the building isn't interesting, theres no dialogue, it's.... boring.
This is where having a writer is so convenient. ^_^ Despite the panel not needing any words written, it was my writer, Peculiar Changeling, who suggested we zoom out more. I was hesitant myself. I felt people wouldn't know WHERE she'd arrive, but Pecu pointed out that even if that didn't make sense to readers, it would be revealed in the next panel anyway.

The city view is helpful in several ways. We see more about the city and building Jenny and Delilah live in, and I was able to create more atmosphere, in showing it was twilight. The passing of time will be important later on. So.... Pecu was right, and I changed the panel into quite an elaborate pic, especially for someone like me, who dsilikes doing backgrounds. :D
Then again.... it saved me from drawing the motor bike AGAIN. ;-) 

In case you wonder how an artist like this creates these sort of perspective shots: Google Earth is your friend. ;-)
Pecu actually managed to capture a shot of a panoramic view like this, which I just needed to change into the right building (the building was shown before in chapter 2, so it had to match that). I added and changed a lot, you won't find that panel anywhere on (Google) Earth, but it did help out in establishing the perspective grid. ^_^ 

I could have calculated it... I dislike doing it, but I know how to. But it wouldn't have looked this good. ^_^
