I absolutely love the design of this page, it's east to read but really dynamic. Man, you're really good at this…

And thanks for the link!

Thanks for the opinion. I almost feel like the bottom left is to busy for what I want. I wanted to get people past the first two panels and then over to the right side of the spread on the second page (left side). Making the bottom left dull is part of leading the eye around. But yeah that third word balloon has always bugged me a bit. I'm sure it will move before it goes to print. Thanks for the comment.

Hi Jason, About those narration boxes, maybe they need to be equally spaced apart? And there is a void in the bottom left corner that needs something to counterbalance the strong motif along the top and down the right side. The composition cuts the page into four quarters, three of which are strong, but the bottom left is weak in relation to them. Maybe darker silhouettes? Or maybe place a narration box there?

I’m sorry my site has this affect on you…but glad at the same time. haha. I must be doing something right. I really appreciate your comments.

I understand what your saying about maximizing potential. I only have so many pages of reMIND until the story is finished. My worry is that people will finally start catching on right when I’m wrapping it up. In the end, I will keep this site long after reMIND is finished. But honestly, I still see it taking 2 to 3 years to completion before I move on to my next GN which I am REALLY excited about starting.

Thanks man. I'm glad you look at this site that way. I was originally hoping it could become that and to see it starting to happen is really exciting.

Agreed! I think that's why I like graphic novels so much. They don't just keep going forever.

Drezz is right too about just moving your built up fans base to the next project then. I'm sure some wont follow but at least your not starting from square one again.

Hear hear. I've always been a believer in the idea that good stories have a beginning, a middle and an end. Things that stretch out to eternity get stale and peter out. And that's best avoided.
