hooboy that was a doozy of a subject. So what do you guys think? am I on the right track?

The page once it has text will have the guy with the gun talking shit and my character watching his eyes...when he blinks I shoot him. The last pic is of him opening his eyes but they are filled with blood. In the next page I will show what it looks like without the blood.

The guy with the gun is a 3D model head...his torso is a pic of an action figure I took. THe gun and me are real. I am the one with the gun being pointed at my head.

it's really nice, but it is allthe same color/tone which makes the action look a little weird... try maybe coloring each charecter diffrently to represent their two sides.... allso, the last cell, the movement was much better in the full sized version from before... it lost something when it was moved to this version

and the eyes scare me....

the only thing that bothers me about it is the gun is pointed at one part of the guy's face and he's looking at the guy about to shoot him, then the gun is pointing in front of the victim and its the same picture, so the victim is looking the wrong way now. did you mean to do this?

Pretty cool.

i think that there should be one more sequence in the eyes closing maybe inbetween the open and slits although that might look like the guy is closing his eyes slowly so nevermind i guess.

Do you have more of the story? If so post it all. Nice stuff.

Thanks all for the comments...they really do help me alot. You guys are like my editors. Here is an updated version...I tried to address some of your concerns as well as jazz it up. Once I add text though I know it will really tie it all together.

stick with the first one methinks

the arrow stuff doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and most comic book readers don't want to have "instructions" on how to go about reading them. PLus the red rusty texture was whack

Oh and ditch that googly eye thing, it detracts from the piece

i disagree entirely!('cept for the arrow remarks) i think this one kicks the first ones ass. better colours, and i love the blood smears/spatter effect... that in contrast with the pistachio greens works great... this is gonna be fuckin rad. i would so buy this off a rack...

i say use the layout from the second one, but lose the arrows, and add the redness from the first...
