I Don't need no hook for this shit!


New Jay Z album, means new quotes! I do think that this line really sums up what we're doing with BloodRed. No flashy images, no gimmicks, no hooks, just straight story. Here's a double page spread. Let this bitch breathe!

Hey Shawn, I think these are really nice pages as well. I only saw one thing that bothered me. In the final panel in the bottom right, I don't get what he's holding. Also, I think his hand is a little big in that panel.

Also, I like how the president guy is acting. No big movements. Calm, collected, and precise. Very nice.

Peace,
Joe

naw, the hand shots work great. maybe (maybe) its not obvious if you just want to take those 2 panels out of context. but its a book! these shots were set up on page 9, and set-up again on 15, before they show up here on page 17. looks like (just from the thumbnails) its elaborated on further in 18, 19, and 20. yeah, the hand was exaggerated (cartooned), but it seems like its cause its kind of important. as for the question of the final panel......lets look at page 9 again:
