This page reminds me way too much of Alien 4. I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing. Though panel two looks pretty cool.

Edited 20050515-16 : More fucked up pheertits. Go me. Didn't realize I'd channeled the assend of Alien 4 until I was well into the inks of the final panel. This page killed both my 01 and 03 microns, so I'll need to restock before I move on to the finale. If the redux doesn't sit well with you, it's a page you might want to skip.

Then a breather before I get into the polarity edits, as I'm feeling the burn, or something. Could be hangover residuals or some such - I would have been better off playing Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory for a few hours last night instead of going out, for all the good it did me (this would've been up well before midnight if I'd quit with four points in heavy weapons, but I went for a four in signals as well.). Enough boozahol to get the emotional and vaguely flu-like side effects, but otherwise... I'm realizing there are better uses for my money.

I realized yesterday that it isn't clear at all what's going on with the legs and half attempted to solve it with panel two of distortion -6-, but it didn't come clearly. I could probably make it pretty damned clear with an extra couple of pages or after a few drafts of layout, but I'd rather not stretch the scene out any longer than it has to be - this stuff's unsettling enough as it is, and I've found that I'm rather enjoying the "think out the layout on the bus, execute it as soon as I'm unpacked" methodology I've been using with the redux.

If anything, the scene will likely make even less sense to readers after this page. No matter- it will, as I've said previously, clear up en route. :D
