Family Discussion

I’m sure the discussion on this page makes a lot of readers think of “The Incredibles,” since a lot of the argument follows a similar pattern to the one that drives that movie.  I’m a huge fan of the Pixar film (although I’m a little worried that the sequel won’t live up to it…) but I’m trying very hard to not tread over the same ground as the story develops.   I think any story involving a superhero family is going to be subject to comparisons to the Parr family, and all I can say at this point is I’m planning on taking this tale to a different place, but it will take a little time to get there.

Open Concept?

Open Concept?

It wasn’t until after I had completely drawn, inked and colored these pages that I realized that the layout of the family house was a little strange.  On page one you’ll see there’s a staircase just outside the dining room, while on page two, there’s a long hallway instead.  On page one, Emily says she’s been upstairs in her room, but when she storms out on page two, she’s heading down the long hall to her bedroom, and the stairs are nowhere to be seen…

I’ve managed to convince myself that the first set of stairs is actually just out of sight around the corner in page two, and Emily is heading down the long hall toward a different, second set of stairs to get up to her bedroom.  The family house has gone from a simple, modest dwelling to a pretty large, sprawling home.  That would be OK, but then I find myself wondering why their dining room is so small….  I guess I’ve been watching too much HGTV, but haven’t learned much about home layout.  Although I understand that “Open Concept” is a big deal.

Of course, dad is a Science/Tech Hero guy.  Maybe he designed his house so that all the walls move as needed?  Or maybe not….
