hmm also I think lights from the lamp to the left are wrong
Friends in Need will return in 2030, after I fix all the lamps and bad hair. u_u
Been trying this one out for a while, I'm liking it so far. Only negative is that it's *infested* with 'snicker' and 'giggle' nonsense.
Just to address this, I try to be as conservative as I can with renders, and that often means distant shots where the characters' faces aren't super visible. At times like that, I need a way to make it clear how a character feels.
Like, if Nicki says, "I fuckin' hate you," to Guy, that reads pretty clearly as animosity.
If she says, "I fuckin' hate you -
snicker," it's obvious she's just busting balls.
I've also been trying to tone down a lot of narrative dialogue. So, where once I might have written something like, "The little brunette rolls her eyes, an exasperated smile stretching across her face. 'I fuckin' hate you,'" now I just go with the more succint "
snicker."
Ultimately, I'm still kind of figuring out how to work in this format. It's a weird one! I'm expected to be more brief than writing pure prose, but more long-winded than something like a comic book. Finding that balance can be difficult.
Then, add in the fact that I have to write multiple paths at once, and it's easy to fall into the trap of repeating myself, without really realizing it.
