Originally, I had visualized the bar being more dark and seedy, but then that felt a bit too derivative of the Mos Easley cantina from Star Wars. So I opted for a nicer bar with lots of glass to let the light in. Plus all that glass made for some cool opening shots in the next issue…
Other than that, I just thought this made for a nice simple moment between Roka and Cember.
Whoop, there it is! Cember winked! So he CAN clean his eyes. They sink into the stalks from time to time (off panel or when we only see the back of his head) for nice cleaning. Or so that’s my theory.
I like how he winks with (I’m assuming) half his eyes… it makes sense, I just never really thought about it so I was like: cool!
I never really thought about how Cember would wink either….until I got to this page. 🙂 But yeah, I thought it would make sense (and look funnier) to have all three eyes on one side of his head wink simultaneously.
