    This is such a silly question, but what is the monetary value of three silvers?

      about 50 bucks i figure. i never really worked it out, but it’s not a lot of money. it goes iron, copper, silver and gold. the way i figured it, you pay for a cup of coffee with iron, rot gut whisky with copper, silver might get you top shelf, and anything in gold, if you gotta ask the price, you can’t afford it.

      i never came up with an exchange rate though. it’s all just to perpetuate the vibe that the economy has collapsed, and even money has to have some inherent value. as opposed to credits or dollars, which only have value cause we say they do.

    Like many, I very much adore what you do to backgrounds, normally… filling them in with detailed buildings, etc.

    And then you go minimalist, like with this page… and it works. So very well. We don’t get distracted by the eye candy… nope! Instead we hear and SEE the drama between these two, and can not miss the emotions scattered about like leaves in the fall: too numerous to count, but if you were there, you’d ~smell the antagonism going on…. (if we were lucky, it’d have the lovely-tho-decaying scent of those very same leaves….)

    But prob not on a roof like this 🤣

      minimalism serves 2 purposes. sometimes it saves time. i say sometimes, cause other times, to get the perfect simple look, you spend a lot for time, back and forth, adding details, only to kill them later. the other thing is that going light on detail sometimes is far punchier. it grabs the eye. i’m still working on doing it right, cause it is a skill. but you’re right. you don’t want the art drawing away from the tension, cause that could happen if you went crazy on a panel that didn’t need it.

      yeah, no leaves up this high. we’re far about the trees. haha
