I think you felt you had to get Darryl hurt at some point. That said, I may be close to think he deserves it. Somehow…
Just bein picky here, but the focus effect of the 2nd panel isn’t that great IMO. Amazing that in 267 episodes, and not to mention your two 365 projects, this is the first time I have something to say about your shooting skills and your feel for directing.
Anyway, it’s good to hear that a brand new story is already scheduled right after this one is over. I don’t think I could make it throught an entire week without my double dose of Foolish Lego for too long!
Long live The Foolish Lego!
Good analysis… I don’t think I want to hurt Darryl though. His behavior and assumptions are the cause for his disillusions and stupidities.
I agree with you on the focus, It was a last minute call and all though Amida is the most important one in this panel, the fact that her face is not in view (and only a black blob) makes it the wrong choice to focus on her. (BTW I thought you were talking about the last panel at first, if you look very closely, Dominus is a little out of focus, but I found out too late and was too lazy to re-shoot the photo.)
Well… there will be a hiatus, hopefully not too long, but the new comic needs some work… So I do hope you have some reserve to master the absence.
I also feel that the second panel should be shot the opposite angle. Hard to do though as you’ll have to place your camera over Dominus’ shoulder… And that’s where LDD is an incredible tool for my comic… Would have been sooo easy to make this shot happened LOL… Reminds me I should get back to work on the comic… Just a few pages left…
Really? I find LDD camera control to be the worst designed and most frustrating part of that essential tool. I wonder if you have tricks I don’t know about…
get working on that comic! 😀
You once asked for pointers on English terms (if I remember correctly). I think you mean “wuss” in that last panel.
I really enjoy your comic. Your photography is great, your characters are engaging, and your story is absorbing. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thanks! I changed it.
Your compliments mean a lot coming from the maker of Ballinabricky! BTW, I only recently discovered your youtube-channel, love the tour of the different buildings. As I said before, I jealous of most of your sets! Oh and because of your video I learned that it’s BallinAbricky… in my mind it’s always been Ballinbricky).
The cam control of the software isn’t very handy indeed, so I use my keyboard (num pad) to move around in every angle. As you can hide selection of assembled bricks and basically shot “through” bricks, it’s way easier to screenshot with no physical constraint compared to shooting real time LEGO, that can be tricky sometimes…
I’ll have to try that with the numbers. What annoys me is that the camera pitch angle can be changed, but not really the “plane” on which the camera sits. I can’t really move that camera up higher or lower that I’ve been able to figure out. It has been annoying when designing some of my larger buildings, and I couldn’t imagine trying to shoot in a large scene with any kind of camera versatility.
That’s interesting…. so you design the buildings with this LDD-software. Is that easy to do?
Replying to Ballinabricky
Sadly, my numbers do nothing.
Nums pad works, as the HOLD+RIGHT CLICK of the mouse. To change the “plane” of the camera, you need to RIGH CLICK a brick, who will become the reference point your camera will turn around.
See the LEGO DIGITAL DESIGNER website, there is a user manual you can download (.pdf)
I’ll check it out, but I have a laptop (no num pad, I tried key combos with the numbers). Thanks!
Oh… I’m using a desktop… Can’t help you much… RIGHT click or the mouse pad should be enough I guess
A desktop… that’s a breed of home-computer slowly becoming obsolete. I personally only use them at work. I love the mobility of a laptop… and they are so powerful these days.
I’m a desktop guy… Hate laptops. Mousepad…ugh!
