finn comics

there’s just nothing pretty or pleasant about a break-up, especially for a long term relationship like what Finn and Elle had.  from the excitement of starting a new relationship, to the routine of an established relationship, and now to the end of one, i believe Finn has grown so much from it all.  and i think that’s the mark of a worthwhile relationship – one that we can grow as a person from.  i’ve always believed it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.  even if it hurts.

i really liked how this strip turned out, from the scattering of panels to the fetal position image of Finn.  i was worried that in panel 5, Elle didn’t look attractive enough.  but then i thought, who of us cries pretty?!  i tried to pick background colors that sorta represented the mood of the panel, from the angry red shout to dark gray in tone.  then the upside side Finn, curled in fetal position, with the audience witnessing him from above.  i wanted the audience to have a bird’s eye view of Finn feeling the effects of his entire world shifted and there’s nothing he can do about it right now.
