I'm back from FC and that means it's time to get back to work on the comic! You can see why I wasn't able to get this page done on time when I got sick the weekend before I left; this was a pretty tricky page!

I thought it would be interesting to include the photo references I used for this page, since I changed so much to make it into Dis. I am usually kind of skittish to show off these sorts of pages when I heavily lean on photo references for backgrounds, since I feel like it's kind of "cheating" to shortcut perspective this way. But it's not! I know how to do perspective, but it's hard and I don't want to and I have a deadline to hit, lol.

Fun fact: the first photo is from Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a place in the Ozarks with very interesting architecture. And a very haunted hotel.

how is using images make a comic page different from using anatomical knowledge to make a beautiful statue?

It's a good thing there are three of them there. Otherwise they might succumb to Dis-pair.

That is really cool! I love these behind the scenes tidbits, comparing the references to the final version

I love the details you include in the backgrounds, to ask someone _not_ to use any references for anything (especially backgrounds) seems really unfair, especially when deadlines are concerned. Thanks for including the reference photos, they're gorgeous :D always interesting seeing the process ^^

Woah, neat! Very cool shots indeed. I wonder what's going on with the train of Michelle's shade-cloak there in shot 1?

Wait until they walk through the Dance Hell. It's polka night and someone is playing the dis-cordian.
