Description
Oh my great god guns, you guys -- this page. This page almost killed me. It's not even an important page and it nearly killed me. I just wanted to give everyone a bit of a break from the constant standing around and talking and have the Fowl headbutt a dude. That's all. I don't think that's a lot to ask, but the Art Gods say different.Read it lettered here: [link]
Still, I got it in before midnight on Friday, so technically it was still on time.

Thanks -- I'm trying to find the balance that makes the difference between useful detail and clutter.

I love this page, but, (and this may be being too critical) I think you may have too much cross hatching goin' on on the bad dudes in panel one. I like the idea of visually differentiating them from the other characters, but, I think it would be neat to leave a bit more white on some of the highlights and hot spots. Not necessarily getting rid of the hatching all together, but, maybe make the shapes a bit more clear to read.
Is that too picky?
The rest of the page is FRICKIN' GORGEOUS, and I'll say it again, i'm completely jealous of your style.

You preacher, me choir. That was a classic 'stache-timming mishap situation, where I kept inking and inking in hopes of somehow fixing it... they are sort of emerging from the pipe, which saves it, but on the next page I'm definitely referencing that panel as a cautionary tale.

Right on, dude. I kinda figured that was the situation.
Have you collected any of this stuff in print yet? Cause I need the Fowl on my bookshelf!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not yet! Not yet. I'd like to do a collection when I have more present-day content, to put the original stories in context. Maybe do two, one with the first four issues and another starting with the 'Killers in Blown Youth' stuff. In any event, I just don't feel it's the right time yet.

Thanks, I really like it, with just a few panels, you convey more emotion than most films do with their action scenes

But it was worth it! This page is awesome! I love the headbutting panel! and the first one where the creepy sewer dudes are charging at our heroes. I dig the cross hatching XD As always, your pages are intense and bold no matter what's going.

This is fucking beautiful. This is, hands down, some of the best work I've seen out of you in some time. Extra Krunchy Kudos, Dan.

It's not often my work inspires profane praise! Which is my favorite kind, incidentally.
