Oh yeah. The old panel layout really left a disgusting taste after you guys pointed out how confusing it was.

I agree. I work better with a collaborator. I do not like every piece of sequential I did alone haha!

Also you didn't post the thing in it's entirety until the end...so nobody could give you feedback on the clarity part of the story

I also think the arbitrary change in reading direction didn't help your cause much. I like the idea of reading direction changing with a major life event, but perhaps the flow needed to be much clearer.

work on your scripts first then I guess and get feedback at that stage?

It's harder for me to do dialogues. I'll spend forever on rewrites and the panels will never stop changing haha!

No worries John, thanks! there were some in the chat who read it that way, but yeah Clarity is so important, but you took on an even bigger challenge without text so awesome work!

@Mech: That's tough.. It's really hard for me to keep the ball rolling.. I used to draw during late at night just to have that kind of peace. But your solution of drawing early in the morning works out best.

@Amit: The domestic violence scene was supposed to be the main character in her bed crying while the fighting was going on. The gun scene was a random robbery. Oh god, I was cringing while you guys were taking it apart. Those two panels really broke the narrative.

I keep trying to set a 11:30pm cut off but it never happens - then I have to get up at 6:30am.
