Synopsis:  

Aging telepath Evil Overlord Xander has traded his youthful dream of joining the US military and using his superpowers to benefit humanity for over-the-hill cynicism, self-imposed exile on his private zoo-for-crazy-people Eynhallow Island, and a serious case of May-December midlife crisis.  And technically it's only kidnapping if she tries to leave.

Has Xander ever been in a romantic relationship before?

Surely he can find someone in the local hemisphere with currency manipulation knowledge and tap that brain, right?

Thank you!  I love the freedom my 3d environments give me to think in terms of camera tracking and stuff.  It gets a bit more of a cinematic feel. So much fun!

Ruani In reply to chateaugrief [2017-05-23 00:47:02 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I struggle a bit with changing the camera angle to the right position. You seem to do well on that. Got any advice?

chateaugrief In reply to Ruani [2017-05-24 19:11:43 +0000 UTC]

I plan my shots like I'm filming live action, so I usually stick with the 180 degree rule, (broke it last week, that was fun) looking up at something makes it look bigger, looking down makes it look smaller.  Sometimes a character should be boxed in by the camera framing, sometimes not depending on what feel you want to convey.  I read once that if you don't have a full length figure on every comic page, your shots are placed too close, so I try and vary my distance a bit for either regular conversation or for particular emphasis (like next week).  I don't know, whole film schools revolve around camera work, I have no idea what I'm doing, except I try and think of it as live action.

Hmm, some interesting advice to keep in mind! I didn't know about the 180 degree rule until now... I'm currently reading through the rest of your lovely comic. :3 Have you published it on any other website?

Let that be a lesson to Evil Overlords everywhere, don't kidnap your love interest without being comfortable with what that says to your minions about the seriousness of your feelings.  Especially when you can read their minds.    

Thanks for the encouragement!  I love putting those backgrounds together!

Superpowers don't seem to help you decide what to do with your email every day.  Then again, he can always light stuff on fire.  That should feel good for about ten seconds.

So true, on both counts. The fire would certainly be the more entertaining of his current options.
