RE: Damn it! / Verdammt! - Original Comic [English/Deutsch]
Great! Just saw it on my phone :) The top frame solves the landscape perfectly!

Glad you like it! I guess, it's different from what you expected (as it differs from what I expected myself), but as you told me: I just tried to jump in!
Like me you draw in many styles and with a big variation, so I did not really know what to expect... but it is recognisably our lines :)
The good thing about working with stories is that you sometimes just have to draw things you never would have thought about. I think you learn a lot by doing it. For example it is ages since i drew cars...
Yes, it's really challenging. Usually I do not think about the layout or different point-of views. I also seldom think about what I want to say with an artwork. This is completely different. It cost me quite some energy and concentration.
It does. I think that it is one of the most difficult media I have tried. In film you only have to consider one shot at a time... and time is running it's own course. Comics is a bit like a puzzle.
I was really into puzzleing when I was a small boy. I guess it was oneof the reasons, why I become an editor later on. So I'm quite used to it and completely lost at the same time;-) Thanks for pushing me in that direction (again)!
Yes, it is the planning and moving around and the fact that each frame shall be part of a whole that is just a thing for puzzelers.
I have been reading some of the classics to see how they did, and I got the idea of having 3 slim panels in the lower half from reading Tintin (The Calculus Affair).
I've to admit, that I've read comics very sporadically. Lot's of Disney in my youger years and then some "Heavy Metal" stuff while being in college. But I totally will dig deeper into this stuff. Fortunately we have a very interesting comic-exhibition in Bonn at the moment, that I will visit soon.
So much more to discover:) I love when I suddenly finds a whole tradition of music or art hat I didn't know existed. Blues and traditional music from Mali in west Africa for example :)
