Re: Best Visual Format for Showing Growth?

Let's take a film-making perspective. If you are keeping on a single shot and want to show subtle differences, then the CGI is the way to go. That effect is sometimes replicated on 3-6 panel Before - During - After progressions.

Typically in comics though, you have events happening and action and plot, not a single take where you savor the image. Seeing the progression in one go and being able to hop between them and compare differences without flipping pages has an appeal.

Does that make sense? If you're open for commissions I am getting back into that game, appreciate your style

Re: Best Visual Format for Showing Growth?

Pretty much what Qzar and LK said go for me too. I've seen some comics that combine single page with panels instead of each panel being bordered with white or what have you, they are arranged on top of the single page image as not to obstruct the subject of said image. In the case of growth something like a few panels of the "major" body parts moving up the background, or a few bursting clothes. Arranged over the image of the finished growth.

I find that with image sequences if the narrative is paced properly with the images it can be a captivating read, but I have seen some where particular points in the sequence are drawn out and really throw off the flow of story.
