Panels? We don't need no stinking panels.  It's all just free-form movement. The background are the sickbay renders with a radial blur and then put through a filter and viola! Movement lines.  In Interstellar Blood Beasts (or was it Mask of the Aryans?) I started blurring the backgrounds on fights to magnify the movement in the panel. That is what action is all about. Movement and dynamic poses. I read an article about posing figures for scenic dioramas and it said to put the figure at the full extent of an action to get the most dynamic pose. So that's what I try to do within the limits of the figures. Sometimes I go beyond that in Photoshop or add multiples of a limb to show where it came from.

I want to do a comic with more action. Just fights on top of fights on top of fights.
