Edit: SteveTony Games Angst Fill -- King of Pain Trilogy pt 1: Endless Reign

[stargraven]

I had this cool little brain flash about doing an edit to the Police song "King of Pain," with Steve's and Tony's endless cycle of angst as a time loop to fill that bingo square, and using the song title as an unconventional conception of a "royalty" trope,

It turned into three nights of editing and laying out panels, and three separate collage-style edits to move through the progression that I'd had in mind. Each of the three stands on its own, and together they function as a trilogy, covering the parts of the song that I wanted to illustrate.

I mean, I guess for the three nights' worth of work, I'm at least ending up with three fills out of it...

The full-size files are large, and even the sized-down versions are pretty big. Click to zoom, for best ease reading the text and seeing some of the details of the panels.

I really like the background on this, it works very well with the panels you chose. It's also VERY SAD.

Thanks. I did them all on dark grey initially, and then was like, ok, self, do NOT spend hours agonizing over background colors... and managed to choose some colors relatively easily and just go with them. I can fiddle with details like that for waaaay too long. Not that background colors aren't important, but at some point one increment lighter or darker or more or less saturated... just DO the thing, self. :P

The most important thing is that sadness. All the sadness. If it's sad, it's a success. Seems like it passed the test! :D
