4.1 - Follow-up on Blade of the Immortal
OK, I couldn't stand it any longer. I went into Photoshop and rearranged the panels on the second BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL example to see what I THINK (emphasis on that THINK!) the original panels looked like. [ edit ] There's confirmation in the comments that I got them right. I r so smrt!
First, the panels the way I think they looked like in Japan. Read from the far right over to the far left.
And now ... hey, there's a very definite path of action! You lose that nifty effect where the arrows lined up on both pages, but in return you get a very clear flow of action throughout the page:
Sweet!
Index to the Series

I think the idea about all the lines leading the eye around is important, even when it's a pinup or a still picture - an artist once told me (And it might have been Brian Stelfreeze, but I don't remember) that when he did a picture, he was in complete control of the reader's eye, and he composed the picture to reveal things one-by-one as you looked around it. It might have been Brian when he was doing that Harley Quinn picture at AggieCon a few years back - it had Harley lounging in a pinup pose, but as you looked at it, you gradually realized that the patterns behind her were actually the Joker's legs.
