There should be a modified version of Page 007 posted.

It was showing the old version for me for awhile. The new version the gun is a lot bigger and she's smiling.

Why'd you remove the odd fellow with the lute?

Bigger guns are always good, but why is she smirking? It doesn't make as much sense in that context.

MSperoni · 03-28-2011, 08:16 PM

I think it makes sense. She wants Liz to come out shooting so she has an excuse/justification to shoot back/kill her.

I felt it made less sense for her to look the way she did before because what she's saying didn't really fit her serious expression. Besides, it's Kit, getting into gun-fights is exciting stuff to her (more on that later).

EDIT: Also in the original ORIGINAL version (Which was never posted. The page 007 that's posted is actually version three of this page) she wasn't saying anything in that final panel at all. Her blank expression worked more then. Actually at the time I drew this page I had no idea who she was going to be encountering in that shack. Nor could I even decide. I eventually relied on random dice rolls. I rolled for number of occupants, gender, hair color, occupation, etc etc

That was a lot of fun but I don't think it's a good idea to leave your writing up to that kind of chance. I only did it cos I felt I was hopelessly stuck

Liz is a product of a random number generator?

I... I think I need to go lie down for a minute. Everything I knew about character development is a lie.

MSperoni · 03-28-2011, 10:23 PM

Well she was created randomly initially. And then things just kinda "went from there".

It was a very useful way to free up writer's block

And everywhere in the world, writers are cringing at the sound of their profession being defiled by mr. Speroni's writing practices.

I'm not! At least there are original names! I tend to create dreamchild characters, born straight from the aether of my mind with exotic fully drawn histories and futures. Characters who will rock the world they have been set in, twist fate and reality to their whim to get what they want, and who are entirely contained within their narrative's background without being a mary sue!

And then I name them Jill. Or Bob. Or Dave. or Rawte, because I named the piece Eternal Warrior, and couldn't think of a name so I just took the Et and the War from the title, put them together, and reversed them.

....Pyros cries himself to sleep about things like that.
