It's spotlighting the focus character, while dimming the lights on everyone else. More a stage lighting technique than a comic colouring technique, but still.Nice coloring, but I dunno, it needs a little tweaking:
- I still don't like the gold. I dunno, it needs some shiny or something.
- Millie being darkened gives the impression she's behind Ozy, but she's clearly supposed to be in front of him. It's a nice effect to use for a "silent panel" like that, but given the positions of Ozy and Millie in that panel, I don't think it quite works right there.
I had meant for the Millie in the third panel to have mood coloring, as she is reading a map that is utterly useless in her eyes...It's spotlighting the focus character, while dimming the lights on everyone else.

No, I've had a few strips post 2000 that have white-tailtip Millie in one panel, but black in others. I'm pretty sure its just one of those 'whoops, forgot that' moments we all have.I wanted to have this one on the site, but Caigan made me blacken Millie's tail...
I thought it was a reference to Millie's tail pre-2000, when it was white tipped...
