Description Sirian and Lyra are welcomed into Oddjob Records to try to help Lyra puzzle out her current mind fog.

I was given the opportunity to do a flashback series of Lyra's progression and fall as a rock star, and thought that the image of shattered glass was appropriate for panel shapes and effect.

Lots of little details in there as these were small panels to begin with, and I hate to have to lean on color to help bring things out, but this was pretty much unavoidable, and hey, you know what - at the end of the day it's a team effort and it all comes together on the finished page, so here I let go a little.

Pacing out the scenes and working out the layout seem like they'd be half the battle with these pages. Is that something you've had to practice to get good at or is every story its own challenge?

Yeah, you're right - at least half my time is spent thinking through the script to get the layout nailed and roughed out. And yes, every story is different, each with it's own mood, tempo, and emotion and I try to do little extra things here and there to reinforce the reality I'm trying to bring to life. And, as with anything else in life you want to be somewhat decent at, practice, practice, practice

Figured as much... I'm no artist, but I've been trying to teach myself to do scipts based off my prose. It's nice to know that the struggle is pretty much part of the process. Would hate to think I just suck at it.

Thanks Levi - the page kind of forced itself into that on its own
