RE: Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes | Comic Update #5
Yeah, it sure is a pain in the ass to have to deal with all those layers of clothing and laces every morning and every night! I had never before thought of a woman doing all this alone, as in movies the whole process is usually depicted to be done with the assistance of servants, etc.
If I may say so, the previous layout works better for me. I know it is used a lot, but I like the layout where along the panels there is a constant subject (the bed & woman in your case) and a "moving" one (the ghost); it gives a sense of movement and increasing tension. Anyway, the new layout is good, too -- no worries!
As for the names:
- Everett is a good one (Victor is too similar to Victorian Age, seems a bit cheesy).
- Ira
- I have always found the names used by Lovecraft in the Dunwich Horror very mesmerizing, and have a Victorian feel too: Ephraim, Lavinia, Wilbur and Obed. Also, Augustus, Madeleine, Camille (Camilla).
Great work with this comic, I am eager to see more!
It's crazy to research how they used to dress. And yeah upperclass women usually had servants to help them out but, from what I interpreted in my research, the fancy in-style clothes were modified so that the everyday woman could wear them and dress herself.
Yeah, absolutely! Everyone has their own take on things; I think I stay away from setups like the original because I used to do things like that a lot in college and my art professors would always make me change it. But in the end, it's art and art is subjective. So no two people are going to interpret the same piece the same way.
Okay, so far that's two votes for both Everett and Ira! And those are all good names, I'll definitely use some. I love Camilla.
Thanks so much for reading and for the feedback! It's always appreciated :)
