Page Six
Okay, sorry about skipping saturday! I was feeling pretty sick, so I’m afraid I spent the time I normally work on the comic asleep.
On the bright side, this page is probably the PRETTIEST thing I have ever, and probably will ever draw. IT’S ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE. :/
Hey, notice this topwebcomic vote beg above here? If you click it and vote you get to see a picture I drew of Dr. Schtein almost exactly one year ago! He looks funny!
This is a really lovely page, art-wise. Content-wise, I’m not so sure Schtein would agree. That prison looks nasty. Vultures are a nice touch! I don’t expect you to keep up this level of pretty-ness for the whole comic, but it’s sure good for setting the scene :)
It’s really impressive. The landscape, the sky… everything look great!
WOWW I love the colors on this page. It looks amazing!!!!!
Awesome page! The glass effect looks great!
You know you are convicted to a rough prison if the vultures are already waiting for you just outside…
What beautiful colors and textures! There are storm-clouds a-brewin’.
This prison looks really welcoming, I hope Schtein will enjoy his stay :D
The sunset is beautiful !
Love the colors on this page!
The sky looks gorgeous, I love it~
Plus, the scratches on the window glass and the little gears working the prison gate are really nice, detailed touches :D
Maybe you should always skip Saturdays then. JKJK. But this page does look gorgeous! Makes me wanna visit Nevada. :D
I think only portions of Nevada look like this. To be honest I haven’t been there myself. I’m relying on photos. I hope no Nevada people show up to explain to me that I drew it all wrong.
I love that prison. XD
The scratched windows are such a goood awsome detail! And I love the sunset panoramicy first panel. I just love htis page, very atmospheric.
I love Schtein’s expressions.
Also, the scratches. Yes. The scratches.
Nice.
Very beautiful, all of it.
I don’t know how to explain to you how excited I was about the new page. I pined for it for a creep amount of time. ADDICTION IS BAD, MMKAY.
I felt bad about not making a page for saturday, but not too bad.
Nice to know that people miss it when I’m too sick to update. Warms the heart. :D
thank you very much
I hear you, I AM CHANEL. It’s embarrassing how often I check this comic, waiting for an update when I know new pages arrive on Wednesdays and Saturdays. *facepalm* But now I get to say, huzzah! THERE IS NEW PAGE.
^___^
Concurring with everybody else who’s already commented, this is a great page. The colors and details are great, and the “enjoy your stay” at the bottom of the sign is priceless. Poor Schtein gets to see the inside of a prison, and not as a visitor, either.
(He breaks out, right? ;_; Right?)
Just kidding. It’s your amazing story, and I’m glad you’re feeling better.
I positively love the first panel. It is beautiful. I also enjoy the detail on the bus window as well.
Found this earlier today and instead of doing a paper I read the whole thing haha thanks a lot.
This is really, really awesome though :)
Haha, wow. Thank you.
Schtein wasn’t looking all that impressed about the whole going-to-prison thingy, was he? xD
The purple/orange colour range in the first panel is really beautiful. Actually, the general purpleness of the whole page makes the little warm details (such as Schtein’s eyes) stand out much more.
I can’t stop looking at the last panel. I can almost feel the loneliness and isolation under the cold dawn. “Enjoy your stay” = that’s the kind of details that give a comic much more depth. And the vultures… are they real, or just props? I don’t know what would be worse :D
Okay, I’ll stop sucking up to you.
(Um, I said ‘dawn’ because I personally felt it more like a dawn, but it would be more like a sunset, wouldn’t it? ^_^U )
Schtein has a reason for looking a little blasé before he saw the prison.
The vultures are real. The american southwest is just COATED in turkey vultures, and that sign’s probably pretty sweet real estate for snoozing.
True fact: I almost ran over one of those birds with my car once.
Oh such a pretty page. But did we miss Schtein’s big trial? I would love to see him try to defend himself.
no, you haven’t missed it. It’ll all make sense in the end. :D
This IS a pretty damn page. This is quite possibly the prettiest picture of someone being incarcerated EVER.
I challenge you to make his escape EVEN PRETTIER. I dare you. G’wan.
For Christmas this year I asked Santa to make Sctein blow up the jail. The irony would be so sweet.
*crosses fingers*
Evil has now pay the price so for now
GET IN THE CAGE YOU….
But who’s going to take care of his cat now? D:
hmmm probably she will take care if the cat :D
I’m getting to that. :)
Gggggg, on the one hand, Poor Schtein, it’s prison, etc, but on the other, why doesn’t he check out that sunset instead of focusing all pessimistic-like on the vultures? Man!
well, the sky’s probably just a big mass of greys to him anyway. Not very impressive when you remove all the colors.
There are plenty of turkey vultures in Austin, Texas, as well. Out here by Bee Caves there are about 100 who spend the winter here in a handful of trees. It’s fun to watch them ride the thermals from my back deck — they do it all day.
The evening roosting process takes an hour and is very political — lots of hissing and jumping from branch to branch. It’s better than soap operas.
I see some here by Round Rock, but never up close. Actually, I’ve been getting a red tailed hawk in my yard lately. Must be a lot of field mice or something.
The fact that it actually LOOKS like Nevada makes me sooooo happy. <3
Oh, thank goodness. I was looking at photographs to try and make sure it looked like Nevada, but I wasn’t sure having never been there myself. I just know it irks me when people misrepresent my own state.
I just found this comic and im smiling so much my face hurts!
owowow the fist panel is soo o o o pretty :DDD
That guy next to him on the bus looks super creepy
BEAUTIFUL sky and rock formations in the last panel!
Man Schtein squishing his nose against the glass
So cute
That first panel is E V E R Y T H I N G! Wow just WOW. I can’t stop staring at it. @o@
