Looooove your use of tone, Nelson. I think the most striking panel is the one where gabe is sitting on the bench just before satan (or whoever) comes along and tunes his geetar. just gorgeous. And the transition to clean lines for the magazine covers after that scene works very well too.
There are a few small things that seem a little awkward, mostly in the talky bits, like the random-seeming leg in the middle right panel when gabe and the other male band member are talking, and gabe's face in the large panel when he's bawling blaise out for blowing the a&r man. The "we can do this"/"let's do this" sequence (I just mean the top three panels that contain those lines) didn't really come across for me either, but I think that's more because of the script. Although I can see why it was there.
Anyway those are very minor quibbles and only there because otherwise this post would just have said "GUSH GUSH GUSH". Some great compositions (particularly like the slashing panel on page one and panel one on page 2), nice sense of style throughout everything, the characters' appearances are well observed (is the girl wearing those padded trousers? Nice touch. I hate those fucking things though), and those tones.... oooh.
Big up yaself. |
