Haha guys I haven't posted in literally so long what is life. I found myself writing a lot of stuff from further into the story like scenes that haven't happened yet because I'm kind of in a block but I know what's going to happen next. Anyway, here's an extremely short filler for you all. Nothing special.
Love,

I feel like the most eye-drawing panel in the vignette is in second panel. I used was a light tunnel effect when introducing the character of Christopher. I used an effect in which the background of Christopher's portrait was darker on the edges, gradually getting lighter as it came closer to him to create the effect of a light tunnel or void. Around him, speech bubbles held insults and things thrown at him. This represents the void into which Christopher was being put, and what these boys were sending him spiraling into. I also used the tool of graphic weight, contrasting the speech bubbles with the textured background, and depth, using the light-tunnel effect to create a movement or space effect to show that the void of insults and bullying carried on further than what was written.
I also feel like a powerful panel was that in which I am stepping in to help Christopher. Here, I use foreground and background. By making my legs larger in the front, I indicated that they were closer to the viewer, as making Christopher smaller indicated he was in the background. I also believe that the stance in which I placed myself showed power and determination.
In panel eight, I also used the tool of time. Using a bleed out into the gutters of a black background and multiple speech bubbles, I sped up a seemingly long-standing argument to a few sentences. Here, I feel that the colors represent the two different people and tones being used. Ryan's color is blue, for a more cool, offhand nastiness in his tone, while mine is red, showing the fury and anger in my voice and words. The black bleed represented the dark feeling of sinking rage that infested the argument.
