Here is another batch of writer notes on Sorcery 101. If you want to read ahead on these got ahead on these head over to my patreon.
Title page
I was trying to do something more designed focused. So the negative space silohette of Kayla I thought could work but I donno. I think in general I need to work on title pages.
page 865 – 870
Quick scene to give the audenience so minor exposition. Like this is the first mention of Rebecca going to school which she started that year. I also figured the fact that Brad has the job should make it clear not that he bit Kayla. It was vague before but I didn’t want to have him come out and say it. I like Danny clarifying that it’s metaphorical tail between legs comment.
And Kayla is introduced for real now. I like doing awkward tongue tied diolog a lot.
page 871 – 877
Mostly Q&A scene to mostly giving werewolf info. The place they are getting lunch is based off a restereuant in my home town. I wanted to address that Brad definately can’t answer everything but like I said earlier the January werewolf stuff and everything related two it is something I wouldn’t put in if I was writing it now. I really like how the down shot that’s panel 5 on page 873.
page 878- 892
It’s hard to tell cause I didn’t do the best job drawing it. But Brad is offering to drive because Jeff’s car is parked up on the curb. I also like that Brad and Jeff have basically nothing in common. Also, Kayla’s “What the hell” game is cause a lot of the time girls get stuck being the responsible careful ones. So I wanted her to be more reckless and goofy. Plus, I wanted it to be clear that she’s younger than Brad. Also, she was in the hospital for being in a bad car accident. So now you know why.
Jeff’s just got his liences and has been worried about being prepared for car problems. He has just been wheeee driving. Also, Kayla asking Jeff to write her is again I wanted to more into the goofing around stuff. Basically, to figure out how Jeff ruined his car I looked up “Why won’t my car start” and picked what is from just neglect. So remember to change your oil guys.
Brad gives some exposition about why no one finds local demon city. I really liked drawing the snowball fight. I think I like drawing snow in general.
page 893 – 398
So this whole last scene is basically to make it clear what this chapter is for. I slowly wanted Brad to get less grumpy about being a werewolf.
