WE'VE COME A LONG WAY! layouts, draft 2, pg1

A second pass at the script today, this time stretching it out over two pages.

It gave me more room to move. The main addition was a bigger picture of the fish like creature moving out of panel 2, overlapping into the other panels.

WE'VE COME A LONG WAY! layouts

 

Here are layouts for a story I'm drawing from a script by Mike Sedakat.

It has seven panels over the page, so it was a bit busy but was working out okay, until panels six and seven. Here the text became just too much to fit in, even after a few attempts which got panel seven to work. Six became pure text!

I asked Mike if he could cut down the text in these panels at all, and he suggested making it a two pager instead. So I will have another crack at laying it out tomorrow.
