Commentary for September 21, 2013: Drawing people shaking hands from that angle is really tricky, it turns out. Also, I would have liked to have shown Senator Neverman from the front on this page, rather than just the side and the back, but it didn't quite work out that way in the end. Apart from that, I'm not too dissatisfied with the way this page turned out, although I think I may need to rethink my approach with 3D modelling for chapter 4. Having been re-reading Sonic the Comic over the last couple of weeks, I've felt inspired to try depending less on SketchUp and more on my own skills. After all, they'll never improve if I never try, will they? Anyways, with Roma Nova, I really wanted there to be a sharp contrast between this city and Iopolis. This is the heart of the Martian Confederate Republic, formerly the most powerful city in the Sol system. It had to be overwhelmingly huge, with big, imposing, futuristic looking buildings, compared to the smaller, almost rustic Iopolis. Think of it as being like the difference between Smallville and Metropolis in Superman comics. On a smaller scale, Neverman's office in Mars Dome had to look smooth and slick compared to Caradoc's office at Jupiter House. More space age, less organic, but also grander, more opulent, despite this office being only the office of a senator, rather than a head of state like Caradoc. Anyways, I like the way it turned out. Now, originally, Chapter 3 was going to be a story about Queen Sakura (to whom Eon is married, in case you never read Eon's Comic), but I was never satisfied with the script for it. I don't think many people would be interested in an 11 page argument between a queen and a nobleman, so I decided to scrap that idea for now and focus on the whole assassination plot. However, I did recycle the news report into the opening of this chapter. News reports are great for exposition... and laying the foundations for things to come... Addendum for October 5, 2019: In order to bring the format of the earlier chapters into line with Chapter 7 onwards, I’ve made an updated version of this page, which is larger, with clearer text. Hopefully, this will make the earlier chapters easier to read. |
