Comic #682: Calligraphy (Patreon)

I had trouble initially trying to figure out how to fit the Krom running in a circle into a single half-panel. Sometimes the info I need to get accross simply won't fit into a half-panel, and it ends up making the final comic very large.

I wanted the image to be half panel, not just to save space, but I wanted to have a panel on the left of Krom running, and a panel on the right of the tortollan's response repeated three times. If the running panel was a full frame wide, I would have had to either make the response panel a full frame as well, or come up with a second panel per run. I don't like the idea of adding unecessary story just to fit a frame, so I was pretty commited to making the half frame format work.

So I decided to just draw the image at full width first, which had the tortollan in the middle, with Krom making a full circle around them. I then cut it in half, and moved the tortollan over slightly so they would be more visible, and thankfully it still worked.
