Howdy. Please Review my Comic
waru \| 04/13/2008 @143 \| edit post

Hi, I'm new here, but I just finished Chapter 1 of a comic I've been working on.

I'm heard mixed things about the layout- what do you think? How about the characters' anatomy, etc. and general style?

Thank you in advance. Any feedback is very appreciated.

The explanatory flow is a bit stiff, too much text explaining too much in the boxes across the top, but overall, this is VERY good. You've broken down the storyline in such a way as to make me eagerly click to read the next page, you've put some good humor in there, and the dialogue is pretty smooth.

I'm looking forward to chapter 2!

Great, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the humor and that it made you want to keep on clicking. I actually haven't had such a positive response so far, so I'm glad to hear it!

It is rendered in a somewhat flat, stylized manner, which a lot of people are probably focusing on, telling you what you already know, you have painted it flat. I beleive I came across a panel on another forum, and read the comments. But, by reading the entire chapter, I can recognize that the flatness is a deliberate thing for this piece, and so then was able to look past the surface rendering and comment on the overall execution.

Don't be persuaded to add shadows or other depth effects to this, unless YOU feel they are needed. The storyline is good, and you've put some very good effort into consistency and flow. It's fine.

Thanks. Don't worry, no one was gonna persuade me to do any shading I didn't want to!

That's right mate, say NO to the threedimensional lie ¡damn Reinassance! =@

I think Marvel and DC editors wouldn't like your comic but I do, it's very engaging and fun to read and that is hard to acomplish. Keep it up!

I know, "perspective" and "using light to show form" are SO overrated.

But seriously, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for looking.
