Can we please get back to the story now. PRETTY PLEASE!
I thought this WAS the story...
Not a big Crest/Suspiria fan, Ronin?
No, I think they're perfectly cute together. (Although if we're
shipping, I'm clearly a Crest/Maytag fan, or perhaps a Maytag/Umber fan.
)
I just get impatient about 4 or so strips in a row basically featuring senery, is all.
Nothing agianst you, you drew them beutyfully, I just prefer charcter development. Or at least plot development. Establishing the setting is... well... kinda boring for me. (Not to mention that it's pretty obvious by now that this is a creepy,
creepy motel. I mean, the two main characters did just get
kidnapped! ) Take this latest strip. Well done!
It's
darned adorable! And It looks like Crest might just take the plunge, YAY!
Edit: So I went back threw the last couple of pages and I think I missed a crutial update. You know the part on page 9 were they disscuss everything? Suspira says what they're about to encounter is physically impossible but Crest remains open-minded?
...
Yeah, kinda missed that page. That would have done a great deal to establish tention about what would happen in the next few pages. Without it, I was like "YEAH YEAH, WE KNOW THIS PLACE IS SCARY AND UNIQUE AND DANGEROUS! CAN WE JUST CONFRONT THE BADGUYS NOW?!?"
But re-reading through it, page 9 adds a whole new (
for me ) character dynamic that makes the action in the few following pages a lot more worthwile. Like, Suspira is supposed to be the expert with magical stuff and these things don't jive with what she was taught. Crest dosen't have those preconseived notions, so he is less shocked about the nature of the place. For a minute there, I was thinking you were just trying our patients with Tolkien-eqsue scenery porn. But you kinda wearn't. My appologies. I feel a little awkward right now.
Great JOB!
