Stairway to Heaven!

Page 14 & 15 of Inquest of Missing Time 

  As Scopia climbs up the stairs once more after feeding her darlings, she revisits her past and family history. The orphanage and the secrets that been passed down through the bloodline of her ancestry. The Immortal orphans and the countless souls and dishes that were collected.

  Scopia remembers the immortal adoption of Cebriel, the last orphan to the clan. Gifted a life that man dreams of and cant understand, for even her only daughter denies that evil plan. A truth that troubles Scopia and threatens the survival of the twelve innocent orphans of ancient history.

  When the days that are left are less what what we've had, we reminisce and try and give that moment another hand....

to those that have inspired and passed, your footsteps and like fossils to be kept in our memories intact.

Inquest of Missing Time Page 4 & 5 (double spread)

  Pages 4 & 5 are my favorite pages! Personally, I see the top part being page 4. I wanted a wide panoramic view to show how isolated everything was from the world outside! It definitely added more depth to the scene as it also implies zooming out while the frames fit in each other.
The bottom part shows the reveal of the underbelly or the hidden secret. As Scopia peels back the layers of the floor and goes down the spiral staircase, the layout of the frames are meant to feel similar to the famous shot in Hitchcock's "Vertigo."

  I put a lot of detail into this scene because I am from the desert. We do not have so much colour and I have always been fascinated by the forest landscapes. I love how the colours of the mountains mix with the trees here in BC. I kept revisiting this panel all throughout my time working on the comic. Living on the west coast influenced my desire to bring the natural beauty that surrounds me to life in the comic.

  We all have secrets kept hidden inside. the most important of them we take to graves. deep down a portal is a world for the self to explore.
