Chapter 6 Page 4
Remember that interview I mentioned last week? It got published this week! The easiest place to read it is on the Seattle Public Housing blog: http://seattlehousing.org/news/releases/2011/coiled-web-comic/index.html
One of the things I am still getting used to when writing for a graphic novel is to think visually. A great example of this is Shankar and the General, who are trying to figure out the virtual world using very limited tools. As I write the script, I am constantly thinking of what they could be doing to make something interesting for Amanda to draw. Hence, the General makes a map out of silverware. Shankar attempts to put an electronic headset on a dog. Right now, I’m working on a scene where Shankar is working on building a giant pyramid out of chairs.
To date, today’s page is my favorite page that Amanda has drawn. The dog treat panel was her idea entirely.
