I just wrapped up page five! Unfortunately, I can't decide whether I like the image with a motion blur connecting the girls path or not. Anybody looking at this should give me their two cents about it (the ol' wife says she may like it more or may not...not helpful).

Love the sky and the diffused light on the edge of the tree canopy. I think it is stronger without the blur lines. The 3 positions of the girl convey the motion without "training wheels" helping the viewer out. How do you get that fine detail? Ink? Cante? It looks so elegant against the soft blended charcoal everywhere else.
I'd agree with KL. Though, just fresh, not as page 5, this does look like 3 people falling from a tree. If the story up to this point makes there no doubt about what's happening, then let the stronger drawing ride...
Let me know when you've got anything to sell man, Ike's room has your prints in it now and it could still fit some more.
The old wife? Are you married? It really makes me feel out of touch.
Thanks for the help guys. Josh, please send me your email address, I tried guessing what it was based on your screen name....but that didn't turn out well.
One more thought; to avoid conveying 3 people falling out of the tree you could you do some ghosting in photoshop (like using magnetic lasso or something) to make the other 2 girls lighter. Then again, like Joshcap said, if you made it clear that there is one girl then it wouldn't be necessary.
