Ten pages of dialogue between two characters who just stand and talk to each other would normally have me running in the opposite direction, quickly. The Example was different….

SAM

Early Sketch of Sam

Sam seemed more knowledgeable, more in touch with her surroundings, and I saw her as having a very definite look.

The final version of Sam

CHRIS

Early Chris, a bit too ‘Clark Kent’ so the glasses moved to Sam

Chris is more the everyman. Generalized, your average businessman, at least visually… slightly old-fashioned.  Giving Chris that hat was my idea… the world needs more characters with hats….

THE PANELS

I’ve never drawn ten pages of dialogue between two characters before.
The challenge was to make the story as visually interesting as the
dialogue demanded.
