She was a famous actress in the 90’s, shared screen with names you hear often nowadays. But we don’t remember her or her movies, and this next comic is about her.
It’s also, incidentally, about vampires I’m afraid. But in a very strange way.
I don’t think I’ve ever re drawn so many times a single frame in a comic before as I did with a particular scene in this comic. I changed angles so many times that I understood how the cameraman in Psycho must have felt. I hope it worthed it, I don’t know if the characters’ body language is the one I was aiming for anymore, but at certain point you must decide certain things are finished, or they’ll never be. I’m locking that layer forever, with its skewed, weird perspective. Done.
Once the comic is ready I’ll be asking you for new pictures to draw! I’ll put the final pieces in the Santa Marina e-book too, which includes a few new details about this sunny town where everyone is a bit crazy.
Currently reading / watching: The comic works of french author Joann Sfar. So good. Reading some Hennig Mankell, who recently died and really knew how to make unique crime novels where violence and murder aren’t just narrative tokens.
Also, speaking of humane things, watch that Mr. Holmes movie with Ian Mckellan. It’s a story about bees and wasps, and how they’re nothing alike.
And it’ll make you cry, but in a good way.
