I haven't done a black and white comic for a while, and while I normally stick to a very grid-based panel layout, I wanted to experiment with a bit more of a free-form layout for my pages. I specifically wanted to have a non-white character, because that's a default that I find myself falling into a lot, and it was definitely working my brain a bit portraying double-lidded eyes, which is something I've never done before.

I can definitely see the experiments you took with panels and flow, and I love it. It really drives the emotions down pack. Adding on to that, the fact that you picked ice-skating as the sport of choice adds on to that message your giving (how things get in your way before you even have a chance to try):

It's dangerous, it's risky, and things might not work out for the better. And then the story ends.

The story is tragic. But it's not just tragic because of the broken leg. The weight of the words, and the flow of the art kinda adds to the lingering implications.

Are you thinking of posting this to another site? Like Twitter? Or maybe even adding it to a portfolio?
