Chapter 8, Page 8: Richard, Rasmus and Don Juan
Hey guys! Hope everyone is having a good week!
This page was originally going to be kind of bland, but I decided to do a fell body shot of Vi and Theo, and you can see just how tall Violet is. (She’s 6 foot 7 inches tall, making her a foot taller than Akila.) I don’t know why so many of the characters in my comic (mainly the women) are taller than average, but my best guess is when I came up with the heights of the characters I was in high school, and my high school had a lot of girls who were above average height, making it seem more common. In-comic, the two tallest female characters (not counting Edythe, who’s about 6 foot 4) are Katrina (6 foot 2) and Violet, both of which have in-universe reasons for being so tall. Katrina’s parents were both above average height (with her father being 6 foot 6 and her mother being 6 foot), while Violet has very long legs due to her lower legs being artificial (as shown above). There is one character who you might have noticed is taller than everybody else, but I’ll just leave that to be seen.
For other things, since I thought that one panel from last week’s page looked like an album cover, here’s a more realistic version,which is serious t-shirt material, in my opinion. (The Title “Ghost of Spring” is almost as old as the character herself, and it would take waaaay too long to explain, but I’ll give you a little hint – the first panel of the first page of chapter 8 has a bit to do with it.
*Author’s note: The font on this album cover was heavily inspired by the font used in this music video, which is honestly a really awesome song and video, with visuals take from that horror game I reviewed a while back. Watch it, it’s pretty good. I might use it in a future book trailer.
