Man, it's a good thing we figured out how to quickly do a chain-link fence. I totally forgot about this page; I figured "eh, might as well give it a shot," I didn't realize that if we hadn't figured it out then, we'd be fucking screwed when Arc had to climb one.
On the subject of making things harder for me, Arc in the script is described as not carrying guns, but briefcases with guns inside them. Those would've been way easier to draw but things just sorta wound up with him carrying the guns themselves in the last page. I think because having to scoop them into his arms made him look more pathetic and frantic. Also, even though Martin told me to put them there in the script, I forgot to have any tiny boxes or briefcases so there was nothing he could pickup and bolt with.
Am sorta embarrassed about it, since just briefcases would've been cool and pulp-fiction-y, plus I feel bad when I go off-script like that. Swear it's not on purpose. Carrying guns does lead to a really cool shot in the next page, though. ^^
Impression we're trying to give is that Arc's kick didn't really hurt that much. Yeah, think that's all I gotta say. Martin?
Not sure what all I've got to say on this one admittedly, particularly since it's not the only page of this that's a chase - the next one will also have that going on in a bit more dynamic of a fashion.
Actually, short of just feeling unnatural to cut straight to where the next page goes, it's kind of an unnecessary page honestly. I guess that happens though, and it's not like I'm unhappy with it, just kind of a nothing one. I like how it came out at least, even if I sort of wish for the panel with Arc climbing the fence we'd gone into more detail with it. Looks sort of weird.
Anyway, yeah. About all I've got, but we'll be getting the first bit of dialogue from Arc next week. We hope you enjoy this page and keep reading!
