So here we have Roka and Bennesaud finally having it out. Ever since the revelation back at Free Kespa about Bennesaud’s past connection to a mob boss, I tried to sprinkle in a few moments of Roka throwing verbal jabs at Bennes and giving him a bit of the cold shoulder. Not sure just how much that came across, but he’s definitely made some snide remarks while looking directly at Bennes.
As for Bennesaud, I really love the design I came up with for the character, but I do find him hard to work with as far as facial expressions go. The biggest issue I have is that the structure of the mouth always makes him look a bit smiley, and in scenes like this one, that kinda diffuses the confrontational intensity that supposed to be coming from him. Overall, I guess it’s not a huge deal, since I think the dialogue actually gets the emotion across. It would just be nice to really nail an angry facial expression to clinch it.
I didn’t realize about the smile, like you said, the dialogue do a fine job to hide those technical issue.
Cheers!
Umm Roka? I don’t think it’s the smartest thing to antagonize the guy whose on the grew because of his size and fighting prowess.
mmmmm, “smile” never crossed my mind.
While reading the text “smiling” never crossed my mind also, but if you ignore the text and just look at the pictures I can see why there is concern about the smile always being present.
Don’t worry. Like you said, the dialogue does an excellent job of getting the emotion across.
In fact, I can hardly wait for the next page. I want to know what Roka means too…
sharks smile all the time and never lose their menace. It’s kinda like being smiled at by Sher khan the tiger. A good time to run.
What’s wrong, this page’s strip is gone! It doesn’t load…
Disregard my last post, my Ad-block addon was blocking the image for some weird reason. A friend suggested it might be that, he had that happen to him in another comic.
