The way you crop the images in your panels is, I think, what I love best about your work. It makes all the action feel so immediate. I really feel pulled in.
Years ago I could spend hours on moving contents of a panel a millimeter here and there to lock it right. It's true how the casual or formal compositions lend to a completely different sense and mood while the content stays identical.
The dynamics of this story continue to blow me away, Rami--to convey so much in such a constrained way, the quietude of nature in the beginning constrasted with the fight scenes and screaming...great job with the loud/soft rhythm and pacing--when the action happens I really feel my pulse quicken, the tension you create here is amazing.
Thanks, Tim. Yes, these sequences are imagined and drawn over and over again until the right rhythm takes form. One of the best examples of this pacing is Ryuichi Ikegami of the Crying Freeman series. It's masterful.
It's gorgeous, Rami. Your spaces, perspectives and gestures are amazing. And I love the images of nature. Everywhere something is happening, simultaneously we move forward these various stories... looking forward to what's next...
