Notes: "Gar
Dían"? "Club Mutante"? Okay, guess it's time to explain. Both are
based on a roleplaying campaign I was in at the time. For those who care
about such things, it was a Villains & Vigilantes super hero
campaign ... Guardian was the character played by my friend Kerry Forrestal
(hi, K!), and Club Mutante was ... well ... an in-game in joke. Let's just
say it was a "Studio 54" for super heroes. (I swear, I NEVER thought I'd
be explaining this to ANYONE.)
As to the page
... I'm pretty happy with it in nearly every sense. The identical-shaped
panels creates a very even, regular pace, even when two of them actually
work to create a larger single image. (There's that trick again.) There's
a very nice balance between solid blacks and open white space. The cross-hatching
and shading works quite well (with the minor exception of the horizontal
lines in panels 4 and 5 .... they don't quite fall deep enough into the
background for my taste, and they synch up too closesly with the stripes
on Droxine's shirt, creating a strange "bad blue screen" illusion). Note
the wobbly reflections again. (See? I told you I always stick with the
same tricks.)
