I'd been thinking on a couple of different pages, but ultimately, this one -- from Chapter 6-2, takes the cake. Honestly, this entire chapter is filled with lots of good ones, from comic relief Karen and Maren to EvilTrace and everything in between. The mood whiplash is quite severe, and it's not until you get to this page that you'll really know how to feel.
In my opinion, Tom, this is when your artwork really started to mature. The simplistic coloring left us to focus on the mood of the moment, rather than be distracted by things in the background. The blur helps us feel the trance-like state that Flora and Trace are both in.
It's been several years since I read that page for the first time, but I still recall it fondly. Let's hope you do, as well.
Man, I have to agree with you here. This really was a turning point in the series. Kudos mudpunisher and the rest. Thanks Tom for the fun contest!
