We're in the middle of the longest running scene in the comic so far. The scene starts on page 96 in a video game and then follows the characters out into the street. The point of view is then handed off to the current set of characters. We wanted to contrast the orange fall feeling of the street with the cold wintry blue of the inside of the art dealers. There's still 2-3 more pages left to go before we switch to a new scene.

that last frame is pretty cool, nice. The style (faces) looks familiar... don't know where I've seen it before. _________________ Derelict Studios|Godwin's Space |

There's definitely something familiar about the style. I might even call it a tad generic... A big factor seems to be the eyes, that whole straight lower eyelid, curved upper eyelid thing. The exaggeration in size doesn't really add anything in my opinion, It just makes it look comic-y in the garfield etc. sense. That doesn't seem to be the style of your story.
Also consider doing the text by hand, it would look so much more alive.
Your backgrounds are pretty solid, and the visual storytelling works well. The compositions work and the page layouts are good. |
