Day 24 - Chop

With this piece I tried out a 2+1 vertical panel layout. If you know Scott McCloud's books you know that this can be a confusing layout and you have to carefully lead the eyes of the viewer with movement or text so it is legible in the right order. Hope the result is not confusing.

@nasvikdraws Layout works perfectly for me. So well-done.

[chrisaakins]

Hahaha! Perfect!

[demotlj]

@nasvikdraws Love it and no problem following the layout here.

[Eli]

@nasvikdraws Not confusing at all, reads perfectly.

[nasvikdraws]

@KathrynAdebayo Great. Thank you,
@chrisaakins Thanks,
@demotlj . Glad you like it. Thanks,
@Eli Awesome, Thanks

Sorry guys as I am not participating in the forum only in this thread. After I finish the 31 drawings, I'll be more active.

Day 25 - Prickly

So I decided to print these in a book. I'll update you on the rest if you'd like a copy. Never done this... Excited...

[Eli]

@nasvikdraws So excited that you're doing a book! You really should--they are excellent.

[nasvikdraws]

@eli Thank you

Day 26 - Stretch

I feel this one feel apart a bit. A bit busy and is missing emphasis on the characters. What do you think?

[Eli]

@nasvikdraws I think it really works. It's not feeling busy to me at all and I think the emphasis is clear. I guess you're worried about the composition? I think it works because it also emphasizes the tension of the gap between them and how they are REALLY trying to close that gap! Once again, well done!!

[Sas]

@nasvikdraws Yes please do!

[nasvikdraws]

@Eli Ok. Great. Thanks. I looked at it again and I am not that worried about it now. The tension of the gap looks fine to me too now. Probably if it would be a color scene I could still emphasize the characters better.

Day 27 - Thunder

I did a piece with a similar idea a few months ago for the Music SVS competition.
For this one I've initially put many props into the old man's apartment (TV, cat, picture on the wall, etc.) to show how everything is rumbling but at inking it was just too much so I removed them all.

Day 28 - Gift

Almost finished.....

Day 29 - Double

After I've finished I realized how the kid grows the same way as Mario grows when eating a mushroom.

[Eli]

@nasvikdraws Awww these last two. You're amazing. I think "double" broke my heart a little...

[nasvikdraws]

@Eli Awwww. Glad you like them.

Day 30 - Jolt

I wanted to have a busy subway scene with lots of small details to discover. Hope you like it.

[nasvikdraws]

FINISHED!!!!!
Day 31 - Slice

So I finished! With a big delay so I voluntarily disqualify myself from Inktober :D. It was a great experience. Thank you guys for all the nice words and support.
I decided to continue the strips. I am taking a break for a few weeks to plan out how to return. I'll be posting some sketches in the meantime. Also, I'll be more active on the forums from now on as I was very busy working on the strips. Cheers
