I recently took a hiatus from Issue #3 of Beyond the Great Chimney for a while to do a few other things.
-Comic Con San Diego 2005 (working vacation)
-Teaching a class at the ZEUM (currently)
-Needing some income flow, working at Alcatraz
More info on these part of my life can be found on my News and Notes section
But sometimes not thinking about a project is as good as thinking about it for hours.
Last night I was ridding BART to visit a friend and drawing in my sketchbook. Now BART is great place to get ideas and work done. And a lot of time thinking about the opening of issue #3 all paid off, I found a new way to show it. I changed the POV.
Originally it was a flashback to the day when the family that had raised Ducelot officially adopted him into the family. And it was longer then I wanted and awkward, but I still felt there was something there. The whole scene was to show the villains Agacon’s (Ducelot’s biological brother) motivation and cause of the story itself. But it was not working.
So now the story is told from Agacon’s POV. A figure who has no connection to the family that raised him after his parents where taken from them at a young age. Here are the thumbnails for the page:
