Trying something new for this page! ANIMATION, dun dun dun! click here to view (the old animation version)

The thing about character development, especially when it comes to a comic that is posted once a week, is that it can have the tendency to feel slow. I’m doing my best to push the early character development of Eydis along as quickly as possible while still maintaining the integrity the core of the story. That said, I’m working to create a really strong visual environment in which you can still hopefully get lost as I try new things along the way. Example being the 6th panel animation, just for fun times. My only issue with this, which will more than likely discourage me from doing this in the future, is that I had to lose a bit of quality in the image JUST to animate that panel. The only way to created an animated image (other than flash) is by saving it as a GIF file, which is a limited format when it comes to color; it only has 256 colors. JPGs and PNGs on the other hand, though they tend to be bigger files, maintain pixel perfect colors! It’s a drag, but what can we do? NOTHING! …that or make a new animated file format… Someone want to do that for me? In case you are interested to see what I am blabbing about, click here to view the none animated JPG version of this same strip. I’m probably just to picky and you wont even notice. Obviously when this comic goes into a print down the line it wont matter anyway; We unfortunately don’t live in Hogworts so the images in a comic release will be the only be the highest quality versions with no web fun animations.
