reentry -1-

Reworked along the lines of the previous page, featuring an upside-down Australia for complementary flavoring. This keeps the segue while ditching the song lyrics, and has the added benefit of effectively filling space created by scaling the panels for width instead of height. The oz planetshot is a bit dark - I have no idea how that's going to turn out in hardcopy.

Earth note : Normally I love rendering the planet against stars (it's pretty), but in this case having it just hanging there against black really makes the composition.

20070724 : Text rewritten for continuity.

Edited 20050607 : A much more effective transition from the previous page - done at the same time as opposed to a couple of weeks apart.

Yeah, I could have probably given it some more thought and busted out something a lot more appropriate, but I just got done redoing huge chunks of the previous scene, I've already tweaked parts of this scene, and despite my issues with the quality of the work, if I redo any more of it, I'll wind up completely redoing the first two chapters from the ground up.... which isn't where I want to be going with this, really.

So. Given the order I've done things in, barring typos, barring any snap decisions to rework dialogue, Chapter Two edits are DONE. Which means The Dualist is a mere seven pages (five new, two redoes) away from being effectively Halfway Done.

I really, really suck at exterior shots. It's definitely an area I need some more practice in, obviously. :|

Chapter Two Section Three is now, as you can plainly see, rolling. I'd like to wrap before February is over with- mid March at the latest. We'll see how that goes.

In the meantime, off to do laundry and work on filling in the gaps in the script. :)
