BLOG : WEBBLEDEGOOK
inkyBlog

This blog began in 1997 as a single news page called Nucelus. In 2005, during a long wait to move into a new house, I decided to learn some php and MySQL and write my own blogging system, which became inkyBlog and which now powers this, my own Webbledegook blog.

Thank you to my brother, Murray Ewing, for help with some of the more challenging aspects!

MAP ROOM
Mon 28 Aug 2006

Something I put a lot of work into in Rainbow Orchid is attempting to make the environment 'real', to give the story a sense of place and location. This is easier in outdoor views than indoor areas, especially when it comes to handling a sequence of panels that take place in a single room. In some cases I will sketch out a little location map to help me keep the views consistent. I'm sure it's not really noticeable in the end (and I don't always follow the plan exactly, artistic license is very useful) but I do think it makes some difference, perhaps subconsciously. At least, I like to think so.

The numbers indicate the reader's viewpoint in each panel.
