This is one of the most important scenes to me.
Loss is a difficult thing.
Often times the mourning process is pushed aside in storytelling so it doesn’t get in the way of the plot. I didn’t want to do that for these characters. I didn’t think that would do them justice.
In this scene, I really wanted to drive home how difficult mourning can be on all sides. Now that they are out of danger, Keyli and Clumsy have no part in driving they story forward, so I left that to Zona and Lye when talking with the Giants. If anything, right now, Keyli and Clumsy want nothing to do with anything. They just need to be alone.
Icari on the other hand, feels a great deal of guilt for not being able to save Sno. He also feels awkward approaching his friends because he knows they are suffering more than he is. Even for those of us who haven’t yet lost someone, I think everyone has felt what Icari is feeling. Wanting to help, but helpless to do so.
In other news, I’m experimenting around with some process videos. This is my first one, showing how I sometimes do my pencils. I’m going to be doing this more often and will probably be doing some Google Hangouts so make sure to follow my social media sites for news on when I do.
PS. the sound isn’t very good on this one so it might be best to have it on in the background while working on something else.
