Description I should be working on art for my Flash project, darn it. This may be the last page for a while until I get back abreast of my art class. (I do not rule out the possibility of fevered late-night have-to-make-a-comic-page-now fits of productivity.)

If it seems like I'm going out of my way to avoid showing anyone's eyes - I am. It's a stylistic experiment, I'm trying to create a sense of visual detachment to match the wispy, faraway feel of the fairy tale. I have to do all kinds of visual gymnastics and I'm not even sure it works, but I'm having fun with it anyway. XD

From what I can decifer, artists block out characters eyes for the same reason some make their characters overly-simplified- Because that way, they're easier to identify with, and the readers can, in a sense, become the character they identify with the most.

...so much awesomeness, by the way. xD;

... really? I did not know that. My thought was that if we couldn't make eye contact, except at key points, it would create distance... Huh.

Thank you. XD

I don't know KH, but these are very cute. I'm going to study your page layouts too. I have no instinct for that and I need to learn.

In the anime of Revolutionary Girl Utena, there's a little fairy-tale introductory sequence with featureless shadow puppets, much to the same effect you're going for with the eyelessness.

Heh, thanks. And, uh, I'm in no way pretending to be an expert at page layouts, but I hope you can learn something useful from me, anyway. XD

Yeah, I was thinking about that! That's how I feel I'm not going totally off the track with this. *g*
