Unfortunately for me, (or fortunately, depending on your point of veiw) the chapter I'm working on right now (chapter 2) has a bucketload of narration. I really hope that this will be the only really narration heavy chapter, but the fact that we have one only two chapters in does worry me a wee little bit. SO although I get pages where the only drawing is this man on my right, it also means that the entire left side of the page is filled up with text. Oh the words are alright, full of usefull plot background info ( of course, none of the important stuff) but I'll be damned If I know how to make it look good. When you open up a webcomic, presumably you want to read a comic, not a novel, and god knows I love to skip over heavy narration sections.

But practicality rears it's ugly head. To add more illustration means that there is less room to  put that lovely text that needs to get in there, which means more pages, which throughs the balance of the scene out of whack. I'm a total sucker for symetry, so when I've got this image of Lewis Wong, I have to balance it out with another similar one of his rival. If the Wong family gets a narration free page, then their rival the Walters must also.

What does this mean? I'll be damned if I do, except that somehow avoiding work gets me more work in the end . ALso, that I can't draw debonair housecoats worth a damn.
