Still debating if I want this to be one of the few times in the comic that we see Ms Shepard smiling. I love that Ms Shepard's so intimidating that if she makes a vague-enough command, people /auto...

Another favorite aspect of thumbnails is that it lets me consider little visual jokes that I hadn't considered in my script. Since the umbrella didn't exist when I was /writing/ this scene, I would...

A big part of why thumbnails are so critical for me is that it forces me to recognize a bunch of stuff that I may not have thought about purely from writing the script.

I gush about it every chance I get, but I LOVE any opportunity to do something visually clever with the comic. In this case, conveying a scene to the audience that the /characters/ can't fully reme...

Establishing shots are hard.
While I doubt most readers would notice or care, I do my best to maintain continuity on where characters are standing relative to one another at all times. This h...

Another difficult establishing shot, requiring a lot of testing around. I don't know why I ever thought that ship design was ever going to get shown off well in a mostly horizontal panel.
