Interesting idea. Originally when i first came up with the concept of this comic I wanted to do a little music widget with Eydis holding a boom box and each week I would add a new song for people to listen to…partly for the character development but mostly cos I love music. Once the time came to launch the site I realized I never learned enough flash to make it work..plus the music development stuff would only work in the beginning when she actually has an opportunity to listen to it regularly. As the story unfolds you’ll see she wont have time for music anymore… tragic right? lol

Either way, I’m still brainstorming a way to do a play list in a nice, non tacky way.

I think it could add an extra dimension to the current character development. We would know if the disconnection she feels has an impact on her taste in music.
Besides that, I’m just curious.

Right, it almost seems like if i make the animations TOO nice that it would hurt sales of a future book due to the fact that people wouldn’t see the point when they could get nice animations online. At least this way, when you purchase a book the trade off is that you get the higher quality stuff when you buy it. I didn’t think of it on the publishing standpoint. Good call sir.

yeh makes sense. personally, it’s not something i recommend, specially not if you have any future plans of publishing or anything.

The other animation I had in mind was actually the first one I thought of, so a large part of me really still wants to do it. The annoying thing is that all my animation ideas are very simplistic, yet they do a lot of damage to the quality.. so its teetering back and forth in my mind if its worth it. I do think though that, like you said, the least I can do is supply the original so people can still see the effort i put into the art work.

haha, did you actually check out the link someone posted with the Google Maps images, or did u investigate the street names on your own?

I’ve had a “working soundtrack” building on my iTunes. I personally know what she’s listening too and have thought about finding a way to post that online. Do you think I should find a way to implement that?

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate you taking the time. :]

Someone on twitter informed me that the guy who draws orneryboy actually uses flash for his animations. I'd like to do that, but i don't want to have one of those sites where you annoyingly need a flash player to even view the comic, you know?
