dolariI've been rather quiet lately, mainly because my right hand REALLY REALLY hurts. It's been hurting for a few days now. I dunno what I did with it, but one day I woke up and the right three fingers just hurt like crazy. When I went to pull the covers off me, a muscle in my forearm said "No way" and the cover slipped from under me. This was prolly Thursday or Friday. It doesn't hurt near as much anymore, but it's pretty painful. I have a feeling it has to do with the Fed Ex processing I do at work, since it's usually an hour or two of repetetive motion, which just recently doubled.
Inking the comics was a LOT of fun... :P
I'm also a bit down...mainly because there's some AWFW stuff I need to figure out before next week...
Mainly, the ending that I'd been pushing for since I started can't really be done now. Originally, Andrea fell off the tower saving (insert whatever draft's most hated rival's son here). I'd been aiming for that until Zaecus mentioned that it looked more like Andrea was being too much of a martyr: She was saving Tobrial not because she wanted to save HIM, but to kill herself to BE an angel. This is DEFINATELY not the idea I wanted. The idea was for her to simply not care for once, and save someone for the sake of saving.
I've come up with three non-martyr solutions, but I'm unhappy with all three as well:
The first three panels will all be The Father not wanting to let go of Andrea AND His Son and Andrea saying "If you want to save your son, Let Go!"
Solution #1: Andrea wiggles out of her shoe and flips down, hanging off the edge of the tower. Dad lifts his son, comes back to Andrea, who is trying to pull her way up towards the observationdeck. She makes it most of the way, where Dad almost reaches her. She sees behind him a number of shadows, reacts and falls. Don't like this because it means involving the shadows a bit early, and means I'd have to "deal" with the Shadows much too quickly when she hits the ground.
Solution #2: Andrea wiggles out of her shoe and flips down, she miscalculates the drop, and completely misses the lip of the tower. Don't like this because it makes her look stupid for not realizing she couldn't hold her own weight while flipping, and holding onto a small handhold.
Solution #3: Andrea wiggles out of her shoe and flips down, hanging off the edge of the tower. Dad lifts his son, comes back to Andrea, who is trying to pull her way up towards the observationdeck. She makes it most of the way, where Dad almost reaches her. He is then knocked over by shadows. Andrea can't hold on any longer, and falls. Don't like this because we NEED Andrea to see Dad and realize who he is as she's falling.
I'm aiming towards #2, since we can be told she has a plan for saving herself, but it doesn't pan out. But it sure looks stupid of her to fall after telling Dad to "let go."
