So now Hal and Nobu have arrived at Braeden Stronghold in the Abysmal Region, the major territory within Nobu's world.
The names actually do have meanings. 'Abysmal' means 'appalling' and 'Braeden' is an Irish name that means 'from the dark valley.'
I really changed things up in this strip. I decided that making each comic 6 panels was a little more practical, and plus, it takes a little longer than 12 seconds to read/take in.
I also worked fairly hard on the background, and even though it doesn't look *amazing* I'm still proud of it!
I decided the text bubbles could use a little more spunk as well, which is why you see the nifty colored outline around each bubble and a new style to the tails.
While kind of a mundane detail I think the difference between the screen on screen off shades of blue considering your first two main character are blue I think ya need to keep the variety of blues up even in small background details.
Also subtle (doe to the unchanged angle) of the different distances in the different panels. Enough to visually shake things up w/o being distracting. Helps makes the emphasis on the punchline found via the mad dash to the rest room have more visual punch and emphasis.
