Green Monk is a mini-comic project that I've been working on slowly for the last couple of years. My pace has picked up dramatically over the last couple of months. Here are a couple of frames I've done lately:

Big -- Thanks
Fearless -- It's no MTMS (which I love) but I appreciate the kind words.

No... defense against... flattery. Succumbing... to...charm.

Thanks Brandon. Can't wait to see more.

My wife thinks this frame and the last are redundant, but I think this adds something more. Any thoughts?

You're right. She's wrong.

You flopped the axis though. I don't know if that bothers you.

Yes! Take that honey.

You flopped the axis though. I don't know if that bothers you.

Hmmm. The axis isn't supposed to be flopped here, but it certainly reads that way. I wonder if it has to do with his placement in the previous frame.

I think that with the figure lower in the frame, it suggests his attention would go away from the picture frame as he turns his head up.

If I can establish the previous shot as more of a POV from the giant, I think it'll feel more like a punch in, than a jump over the axis.

I think his body in the latest frame should be angled away from cam with his butt closer to the foreground. so that he's looking toward screen left. Last time we saw the baddie, he was charging toward screen right. Make sense?

Yup. That's what it is.
