Daily DeviationGiven 2008-03-03"With a stunning use of angles, lighting and facial expressions, The Last Days Of Pompeii by *artofneff evokes a strong sense of danger and action in a masterful comic strip, which relates to the well-known phenomena of the eruption of Mt Vesuvius. Couple this with the flawless anatomy and the well-paced plotline, the effort and skill that has gone into this art is obvious to all." - =GoredGuar (Suggested by =GoredGuar and Featured by `misskittyoooo) CommentsMy favorite panel is the one where they're looking at each other after the earthquake. It's just one of those delicious moments that makes the situation real.
(I don't know about the one where she's catching ash in her hand though. It looks a little casual somehow, like "oh look, the mountain's exploding". Maybe just the viewpoint, or maybe the woman's pose.) The clean detail in the explosion is absolutely gorgeous! And I love the huge view of it covering the sky at the end, as well as how those last panels are arranged. Fantastic details. Amazing display of emotion. I caught this on the DD and I am impressed. I could -hear- a story as I looked at it.
The panel of the full town in scramble, and the one child in the middle that looks like s/he is crying just absolutely broke my heart. I'm afraid of sounding too... generic in the praise. =/ But you really deserve it. Wow... I think you captured this perfectly! It brought some tears to my eyes... so sad~!
-- Wow, that first explosion is just brilliant.. The textures, details.. The anatomy, shades.. Simply swept me away
