Panel 1 [Brutality curls one hand against his cheek, looking over at Barzillai]
BRUTALITY:
Got nothing to say? Probably wise.
Panel 2 - 7 [Brutality walks away with a wry grin, holding his guts in place as Barzillai looks over his shoulder to watch him go. The scene is cut up by a descending series of panels of the same shot of Brutality walking, but the ‘camera’ is panning down towards his feet in each one, and each panel is getting darker until it’s just a black narrow band for the last panel.]
BRUTALITY:
Wouldn’t want your crew to see you talking to yourself, after all.

The way he’s holding his own guts! Like a handkerchief, or like rosary beads – extra level of unsettling to that, nicely done
Silas
Yeaaaah he’s gross with his own guts!

I caught up but I wanted to second Casey’s comment. What a detail! What a ghost!
Such a wet slimy guy, yet with the context of the following pages, he feels like a threatening drop, not even close to the most powerful and terrifying thing in the sea
Silas
I really like thinking of Brutality as like…even though he’s Barzillai’s total nightmare he’s such a little irrelevant guy in the scope of Ocean Terrors. ‘I went down to Davy Jones Locker and no one there has ever heard of you’ levels of irrelevant.

Oh I LOVE the framing of the moon above Brutality…Your paneling is very well done!
Silas
Thank you!

I like the panel-breaking effect. It gives me the impression of the ghost walking away slowly, to twist the knife a little. I think I recall a similar effect in 2001 Nights.
Silas
Thank you! That was the effect I was trying to do!
