Do I Need A Rating For This?
Latest page up on Stone Above:
At this point, I'm not sure if I should be putting up some sort of "hide your children" rating. On the one hand, I've got violence and *gasp* nudity! On the other hand, well, "Beware! This comic has full frontal nudity and people being ripped apart like a bucket of fried chicken!" is kind of misguiding. "Animals dying like animals" is somehow not the same thing, even if the beasties are people themselves.
I'm still fighting with how the birds look. I know I want them to contrast as very alien, in this story, but for various reasons I want that to be somewhat stylistic and open to modification. It's easier in the flashback, where I can use effect I won't apply in standard mode, but still...they should look almost like paper cutouts here, I think, but I've put in way too many details. If/when I redo these pages, I think I may just *make* paper cutouts, and skip the details. This is supposed to be a very subjective story. I don't think I realized that when I started, certainly not soon enough to change my art. But hey! That's what practice is for.
In other news, this page took for-frickin-ever to do in Photoshop. So yeah, the birds gotta change.
