Art change?

<< < (9/13) > >>

AprilArcus:
My fanwank for this is that Tai used to wear a binder that goes down to her hips, but stopped sometime in the last while. Maybe it's too hot and muggy in the summer to keep up with it?

My favorite art is from around the 1600-2100 period. I thought it would be fun to rank my favorite strips and talk about them a little:

Number 1983: Opening at the Guggenheim


This is a great example of a strip that only works because Jeph goes for broke on the art. The render-happy background in panel 1 instantly sells the space. The stylist's joker grin is brilliantly unnerving. The way she is all up in his space in panel 3. The art fan quivering in a fetal position in panel 4. Marten's priceless facial expression in the punchline. The way panel 6 just hangs in mid-air while you scrape your chin off the table. Perfect.

Number 2301: Big Pimpin'


It feels like the camera has real mass as it decelerates through its push-in to Claire and Cosette. Another lush, one-off background. Nice sketches of Faye, Marten and Hanners' personalities in panel 1. Panel 2 just blows my mind with its quietly daring visual storytelling. The contrast between Cosette and Claire's body types. Cosette's glance-scrutinize-react through the last three panels. Claire's adorable character design on full display, complete with shoulder freckles and crimson blush.

Number 1964: Guten Abend


Generally great composition and pacing. A door closes. Marten's eyes darting around in panels 2-5 sells his inarticulate disquiet. A door opens. Crunching his beer can in surprise. Cliffhanger.

Number 1599: Dancin' About The Past


I just love these poses so much. This page practically radiates joy.

Number 2018: 2d10 Falling Damage


This is the best QC strip Jeph has ever drawn and I will fight you if you disagree with me.

Carl-E:
I respectfully disagree; 



The glow of the lamp, the evening sky, the pure snow, and the look of absolute glee on the face of someone who so rarely experiences anything of the sort... I mean, she's grinning so wide we can see her back teeth! 

This was the comic that drew me back into QC after several attempts to read it from the beginning.  I started following it here, and worked my way backwards from it as well to watch the story re-fold and figure out how it had gotten to this point.

So be it! You have chosen... the path of pain:

Carl-E:
You're looking a bit squirrely...

AprilArcus:
You're going to need to do better than that, my friend!
