Art Comics

[Guest Steelfang]

I have a webcomic of my own and would like some input on what y'all think and what I can change. Here is one of the comics. Tell me what you think about it.

[color=darkblue][size=1]In the future, it'd be a better idea to bring this type of stuff over to the Manga Workshop. The name might throw you a bit, but we talk about webcomics and the like over there, and how to improve them. Thought you might appreciate a bit of specific guidance. ^_~

Anyway, as far as the comic itself goes, your art style is good and you have nice paneling. You may want to focus a bit more on your speech balloons, spacing and punctuation, however.

With speech balloons, you always want to leave a bit of white space all around the text. Not too much, though; about three-five pixels is a nice range. Also, you may want to consider trying to find the Digital Strip font online (you can usually find it at 1001 Fonts for free). It's pretty standard for professional-looking comics online. Not to say that it's the be all and end all font; there are plenty of comics that use different ones. It all depends on your preference. I personally think the text would look better in Digital Strip, but that's just me.

In the third panel, I think that particular speech balloon didn't have to be a pointed one; a speed-lined or regular one would have been fine. Again, just my opinion.

Also, punctuation is just as important in comics as it is in any book. Just give your copy the once-over before you flatten your layers, heh.

That's all from me.[/color][/size]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Well, I'm guessing this is the first page, so I guess it isn't too big of an issue, but I think a chief problem here is that you didn't cover much ground. We see that this dog dude is walking through the mall and he finds a game store, but that's it. There's no punchline or thought. I'm sure there will be some in later pages, but if this is anything other than a daily comic, your readers may get bored.

Your art style is very cool. The backgrounds look good as well as the charachter, albeit slightly on the dark side. The revealing of the game store was a little confusing because at first it semed like it was decending from the sky XD but overall, I think you did well, just need a little improvement is all.[/COLOR]
