Basil + Gideon #9: A View
I’ve been feeling a little burnout by my beginning of semester workload, but seeing the sun these past few days has really healed my soul, so I took some inspiration from the weather for today’s page. Also it’s a landscape spread since I’ve been feeling the urge to change up my layouts recently, next week I’ll probably be back to something more standard though. Hope everyone gets a chance to grab some sunshine, while it lasts!

Intensiv Deutsch Eins (comic)
Here’s a throwback to my first post for anyone who’s been reading since then .. German is definitely going better than Vietnamese so far. And a little bit of vocab for you all as well!

21 January 2020 (comic)
My girlfriend’s apartment is right between two sets of train tracks. At night, when we catch one going by in the dark, it feels like magic.

Basil + Gideon #8: Ghost Diner
I’m trying out this 3 row page layout instead of my usual 4 row layout. I’m still fairly new to comics so I want to test different strategies for storytelling and figure out what works best for me. Not sure about this one yet, I might switch back next week, but first impressions: 3 rows means I make less panels overall than the previous layout, so the visual narrative needs to be more succinct, but I can put a little more time and detail into each panel. If anyone has a favorite comic layout or suggestions and would like to share, I’d love to hear it!

Basil + Gideon #7: blizzard
We’ve been having really mild winter weather, so far, but every time that I walk outside and it’s snowing it reminds me of that one scene in Fellowship of the Ring where they’re scaling that mountain in the snow. I realize my experience probably isn’t universal, but hopefully that clears up what the inspiration for this comic was.
