Page Commentary No. 54 (Patreon)

Gunwild: Things to call attention to here: One, I love the Vanaa spacesuits. Two, it's very nice of the Vanaa to put out that planet they set on fire even though it was uninhabited. Probably they appreciated it nice and liquidy.

Psu: I remember strugglign to get this page out but it has a load of things I'm happy with. Among them are the things Gunwild has just mentioned. The different Vanaa ships that look like Vanaa ships of different makes and models makes me pretty happy. And yeah, it's really nice of them to clean up a planet like that. There's no reason to except to say that they'll do their best to leave it as they found it. Not like Cassiopeia anyway.

Gunwild: She probably never makes her bed. Damn outlaw.

Psu: Of note, you can see how I tried to subconsciously make the page more relaxed. After the last wild page with panel borders going everywhere, this one goes to horizontal to very simple compositions. Even the panel with just stars in the middle, I hoped it would completely relieve the tension. Though there's a different type of tension that comes up in the dialog a little later.

Gunwild: Maybe we should try to do some more stuff like panel 4, it's an interesting one.

Psu: The silent one or the middle star field one?

Gunwild: The silent one.

Psu: In any event, lots of things that are nice. The switch from loud colors to relaxing colors. The extra sparkly stars and deep colors in that space field. The glowing horizon. There are a number of smaller failings here, like the wonky perspective in the top panel. The Vanaa are too small there, compared to Vrax.

Psu: But heck, I love that you can see the texture on the Vanaa space suits. That's supposed to help them grip things!

Psu: And scoot!
