Fantastic, buddy, really great colours and layout on this one!
I think though that in the centre roundel some of the white high-lights on the water (specifically in the top left of the panel, above the chimneys and the left-hand diving craft) are creating the illusion of the boat having sideways diagonal movement (left to right as you look at it), when the rest of the break/waves are suggesting it is moving forwards. Probably not important, but I only mention it as it's your focus panel for the strip.
Awesome though, man, very inspirational work!
Lorenzo!

I actually didn't plan on it when I drew the thumbnails. In fact, when I penciled the original idea, I wasn't really feeling it, so I actually went back and erased a day's work (first time I ever did that, I usually just scrap the comic). The only thing I left was the big circle panel, but I changed the boat design. For the first time in a very long while, I went ahead and drew the whole thing without knowing what the characters were saying, and then added dialogue later. As I was redrawing everything, I noticed that the sub's porthole could reference the big panel and so I drew the panel on the bottom left to make the connection. After working so long on such structured and planned out projects, I have to admit that it was pretty liberating to work like this.andrewwales wrote:I love the panel layout with the big circular panel in the middle. The circle theme is repeated in the round windows of the boat and sub. I wonder if you planned it that way, or if it just happened.
Thanks for the comments and input, everyone.
