FINDSWOMAN!!

Wow, so great to see some truly INSPIRING and AMAZING new pieces from you!

These are wonderful!  As always, your softgoods are lovely and beautifully made.

And the Gand is exceedingly imaginative.

Wow!  Some of your best work ever (and that's saying quite a lot!)

Well done!

Awesome, Longhorn!  Can't wait to see the new material!

Fantastic!!  Great use of your amazing new diorama!  Can't wait to see that beauty in action.

I absolutely love this story and can't wait for the continuation!

Hi.

I'm interested in the AT AT biker scout (if it's the one with the flip up helmet).

let me know!

Okay, I just read up on this project and the rules!

GREAT idea!  I'll definitely have to put together something for this!!

carry on...!

DD, if you're out there, send me Pimp Daddy back so i can finish my LA project!

Thanks!

I absolutely loved MFK's cantina comic and the above example sure looks cool, as well.

In my older photonovels (no longer available on line....at the moment), I used speech balloons and captions, more similar to a comic book.  I enjoyed that style.

But then, inspired by Chewie's great pictures (the movie still format), I switched to that format for my interactive photonovel.

As visually striking as the comic book format is, it suffers from one weakness - the static facial expressions of the figures.

In real comic books, the character's faces are extremely descriptive and evocative.  More is conveyed through the art than the dialogue, in most cases. 

I went back to doing "text below pictures" in order to make my stories more "novel-esque".  Because the visuals are limited, you can make up for those deficiencies with descrptive, well-written text.  In my versions, though, the text is part of the picture, not written into the thread.

this is essential for my Interactive story, where I need to convey a lot of information to the reader about the environment and events that are happening.

However, in the future, for straight narrative photonovels (assuming I ever get the time to do any) I may experiment with a hybrid - using limited text blocks when necessary, but also trying to employ the great collage/comic book visual style that MFK and others have done.

Awesomely gorgeous, as always!!!

I don't like the use of the brand new Tatooine wave Han.  Don't mind it for the "I don't have it with me" bit, since that's what his arm was sculpted to do, but I would have used him as little as possible and switched back to VOTC immediately.

but that is a minor nitpick.  This is friggin' GREAT!!!!

Now please go make an original photonovel!  I love your work!!!
