These pages took WAY to long to color. Especially the last spread because I kept changing the panels on the right. I must have tried 4 different coloring passes before redrawing it and then about 2 coloring passes before I finally got it. The lightning was completely last minute too. I painted it in and it worked so I left it. I'm super happy with how these turned out. The text is still temporary too. Also I still haven't decided if I should spell her name Vonna or Vana. What do you guys think? I'm favoring Vana because I like the way it looks and it make sense being it's short for Nir-vana. Anyway, thanks again for all your support! See you soon! Jason

I love the colors here. As for the name, it depends on how you want it pronounced. Vana is going to sound like Van-na or Vain-na where as Vonna might be pronounced more like the second syllable of Nir-vana.

Jason Brubaker

Maybe I could use the accent marks on Vana above the first a. I just don't know how to do it. haha.

Here in Scotland, the final syllable of Nirvana <i>is</i> pronounced "Van-na"! We don't have the long 'ah' that's a bit like an 'o'. Wouldn't be the case in England, though. Although "Vonna" loses the connection to "Nirvana", that is the case with some other shortened forms - like "Alec" for "Alexander". As we know it's short for Nirvana it's probably obvious how it's pronounced, however you spell it. Nothing like as bad as Victuals!

I like the tracks in the grass of directionless wandering round the parachute. And the over-saturated colours you get in that kind of weather. And the lightning's definitely right.

Jason Brubaker

Yeah, changing the spelling for the shortened version kept bothering me so I think I keep leaning toward Vava. I will just let people read it the way they want. :) Haha. Yeah, Victuals is still the most confusing name ever. Thanks for your help!

I say go for Vána!

I'm in awe of the coloring here. Beautiful!

The long drawn out Daddy should still have two d's, I think?

Peter Westlake

Stick with Vonna, I think, because we're used to it now and it's a plausible shortening.

Martin Brubaker

I agree with Peter. Vana for some reason seems forced now that we are used to Vonna.

I think I like Vonna more than Vana. Nicknames that are from shortening names aren't always spelled exactly how they would appear. Awesome pages, love the coloring. The rain seems almost like you had this painted then scratched off the paint to make it look like rain.
