Oh gosh there sure are a lot of people following this blog…. Hi!! I haven’t posted in a while so here’s a scribble of my furby babies Batty and Clover that I did quickly in procreate!!
I think these panels are best displayed next to one another. Tim Sale’s use of tight cropping only helps to accentuate Scarecrow’s tall and slender figure. He focuses solely on Jonathan’s hands for six panels before giving us an extreme closeup of his long face. Then in the third illustration, he pulls back and gives us a full body shot of Scarecrow from a high angle before tightly cropping their figures once more. Sale sure knows how to cram a lot of visual detail in just a few panels, notice the the skeleton in the corner of the third page, the many oddly shaped beakers and flasks surrounding it, and every close up of Scarecrows mask features many subtle cracks and creases. It’s amazing.
