As a special treat to all our readers I wanted to share with you the process of completing a page of Bella! This is our new page, #20.
Of coarse we start with the script. We work from a full script. This helps Tiina quite a bit in getting the ideas she needs to draw the page.

PAGE 20
PANEL 1 – The Golem is all alone in the exhibit room. He hears some footsteps of someone in the next room.
Sound effect – TOCK TOCK TOCK
PANEL 2 – We see the guard consciously enter the room with his gun in his hand.
PANEL 3 – The Golem sees the guard in front of the picture of the clock tower.
PANEL 4 – This image triggers a memory of the time he was at the clock tower of Prague attacking the anti-Semites. This memory should have the wavy lines around it indicating that it is a memory. This scene should have lots of angry villagers with torches and lots of people fighting with make shift weapons like clubs and fireplace pokers. There may be a well dressed man on a horse and a sword in hand.
PANEL 5 – the Golem's eyes grow big with rage.
PANEL 6 – the guard sees the broken automaton on the ground which spooks him terribly.
PANEL 7 – The guard runs out of the room.
Tiina reads the script, draws up the page, and then sends it to me for approval. Being the picky guy that I am, I usually have some changes for her to make.
