Yet whenever I try to do it between pages, I often leave readers feeling like they missed a page somewhere. The solution? Have the change take place on a single page rather than between them!
It's admittedly not a perfect solution. Not for me, anyway. I try to close each page with something punchy if I can, and instead the final panel is taken up with the task of saying "okay, we're over here now." Not exactly punchy, but the hope is that I've managed to cultivate some suspense as to what will happen next in place of that.
As always I'd love to hear your input, and I hope you like the page!

…or water board him by using his head as a dildo?

Hey thanks for the feedback in any case! :)
Reinbach
Possibly! ;D

I did consider that. The fact is, every single non-canon pic I've ever done of Switch over the last eight years, she had the piercings. It just felt wrong to leave them out at this point, even if they don't make a ton of sense.
Reinbach
Understandable at this point!
Reinbach
:O
Reinbach
Quite so atm! :D
Reinbach
;D
Reinbach
Well put! XD
Reinbach
We'll come back to them at the end of the chapter! ;D
Reinbach
Thanks!
Reinbach
Great! That's pretty much what I'm going for.
Reinbach
Noted! :)
Reinbach
Thanks!

If you know Switch from the game, I'd say you know her well. In her debut comic I was still figuring out what I wanted her to be as a character. She didn't really become the Switch we know until the game.
Reinbach
XD
Reinbach
:O
Reinbach
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind for next time.
Reinbach
That is indeed shown to be within her power! XD

Thanks for the input! :)
Reinbach
Thanks!

Interesting idea! :)
Reinbach
We're about to get into that! :)

These two will both be alive when next we see them! XD
Reinbach
Glad to have the hype! :)

I think a sudden transition between scenes and pages works pretty well when the comic is being reread after the fact. Especially in PDF format when you're just scrolling through. But for the week to week delivery having the jump on the same page is likely better. Personally I think the former is more effective unless the latter is going for a comedic juxtaposition. But that's just my two cents, I don't think I've ever been confused by a sudden jump so I might just be the wrong person to talk about it lol

Did Switch just get dumped?
Graci
hmmm that sudden transition to Liz, it's not foreboding at all.....
Deano
Where exactly did an otherworldly entity like Switch get her nipples pierced?

I don't like this guy. Not a single redeemable thing about him.
ShadowSkill
Seems like the simple solution would be to conduct behavioral reprogramming by hanging him on chains and hooks like Pinhead from Hellraiser, while Switch goes to town on his ass with a Switch sized studded dildo, while also clockwork oranging his eyes to Lifetime cable tv or Oprah or something.

Dude's a prick

That cutaway has me cooking up theories
KaijuWhite
Oof. I could HEAR the music build to panel four that then just . . .change. That boy is in deep trouble.
Slaughterbug
Sooo. Is this just a cut away? Or are we going to see what she does to that shitiot?
HungryOuroboros
Switch looking amazing on this page, love me a powerful woman. Also I think the transition does work better on the same page rather than between pages :)
ScuzzBucket
Wow, Liz looks hella-pretty there. A very "normal" expression, too. Kind of fits how "off" she might be over whatever Miguel said to her.
Jon
Not gonna lie. I hope he does get his comeupins. I'm not prudish enough to particularly mind his antics, but the fact that he really just does not seem to care about about the aftermath makes them less hot in retrospect. So uh yeah. Comeupins.
GregD
Well, he did say he wanted to feel something...
NKL
Perfect transition.
NKL
Suitable, considering the cliff”hanger” :)
SpectralTime
The thought occurs that I only actually know Switch from the video game. I may not be entirely aware of who she is as a person, which honestly was part of the climax of the game. But then, you have successfully characterized him as enough of a douche canoe, I believe is the technical term, that I can’t see I’d be too broken up if that transition cut covered him coming to a sticky end.
KnightRider007
… what a monumental dick. And not in the good way.
Squid Hills
...And when we finally cut back to Vincent, he looks like Jason Issacs' character from Event Horizon...
Mac
maybe have some of the chains break the panel and keep travelling down to help with the transition visually some more? but switch looks fucking great
Taylored Printers
It's all fun and games till switch makes him flaccid for life unless he does what she tells him.
Daniel S
Dude fucked around (also literally) and is about to find out (also possibly literally)
Alex
It's a good choice. Could've added a small panel of Vincent screaming to help ease the transition, but this works better than sudden transitions. Needs work, but better than the alternative.
MAR
Also, the transition works great!
MAR
She’s beautiful when she’s angry. All the time really, but wow, does she look good here. Hopefully Vincent is about to get a whole lot of other people’s feelings and memories. Seeing things from his former lovers perspective might round out his point of view. Adding incidental victims like his brother could drive the point home.
Lord Washington
I’m worried about Liz more than him.
Jariah Synn
*Claps hands* Switch is becoming the monster i knew she could always be... Excellent
Eric Shepherd
Somebody about to get hurt
alex baker

Kyman201
Ooooh dear. Switch is LIVID. *Gets popcorn*
Kherbellos
Oh boy. Switch is gonna get ballistic...
