I decided to go for a splash page here, with text as dense as this at least there's some eye-candy to balance it. I try to condense the dialogue as much as possible (well, actually, it's more in the way of making it as efficient as possible, but you know what I mean), but hey - I'm not making picture books y'know :-D

The scenery was inspired by the images that lingered in my mind from the recent attack on a toll station in Serbia… because of the Kosovo conflict. The reason I write fiction is because it can do more justice to reality than nonfiction (although I may deny the truth of this statement later on).

I drew this page while staying in Austria for a week, far far away from any 'net access. The compulsion to check for comments and mails never really goes away, but it's still veeeerrrryyy relaxing every once in a while.

BTW, I forgot to take my rulers with me, so the fact that I didn't have to draw panels was quite convenient!

REPLIES:

trevoramueller: Thank you! I also think the composition works quite well here, even though it's more of a coincidence, and myself following my intuition :-)

Midge: Thanks, that's great to hear! I'm always trying to find this delicate balance…

cda: Thanks!

DAJB: Thanks, tell me once you've decided ;-)

Fitz: Thanks a lot! Let's just say we have different strengths, all right? :-) With storytelling skills as remarkable as yours I wouldn't worry about not being able to achieve certain things… and it seems like I haven't seen the Clive Owen movie you're referring too.

Nepath: Thanks a lot.
