"Why?" can be such a power question, can it not?
My favorite thing about this other than that is the background effects. The alarm lighting is just right, and (for some reason I also like the little bit of shading on that alien) I like the blur effect of the background. The characters have such bold and solid lines around them, so with that blur they REALLY pop out from the background. I don't know if you ever looked at any of my comics, but actually use a different medium to color the background to try to achieve an effect like this traditionally. I like it that much. The thing I don't like though is the overlapping shadows in the background. That should be happening with the foreground characters, I guess, but the backgrounds, from the way they are, I think the overlapping areas should have their color adjusted so the overlapping area is the same color as the rest of it. Perhaps the fix is as easy as Eyedropper-BuckeTool. 'Cause, like, the way the room is, it looks like it might have multiple lights on the ceiling, but on the edges of the room that effect of overlapping shadows shouldn't be there.
Well, it was your first use of shadows, so you'll fix everything. And I'm glad you check for errors.
Hmm, thanks for the advice for shadows. If I remember it, I'll try and utilise it. The shadows in the background shouldn't be dark if they overlap, hmm, thanks.
And about shadows, in general shadows don't overlap and get darker unless there are multiple light sources spread around different points in the room. A shadow may be darker in the middle and lighter on the edges, but in general, a rule should be to keep your shadows evenly dark until you have mastered them.
Also, thanks again for the advice about shadows. I'll try and utilise it on the next page.
