.:EDIT 6/16/09:. Fixed some major anatomical flaws in this one as well as a few shading and balloon problems! Thanks again to !XVideociraptorX ! .:END EDIT:.
No Tanner, of course not. She's imagining Prince Charming.
I love how Reuben came out in panel 2. You can just see his snotty stuck-up Royal ego. And no amount of angry pointing shall wash it away.

Like last time, for some of them I had to draw the rest of the character off the panel to tell whether or not I had it right. >.> But anyway, some more tips!
Try to keep the characters' weight balanced. Even when a character is walking or running, unless they're literally falling over their weight is distributed evenly. This also carries over to tails with characters that have them; if a bipedal character with tails is leaning further forward, it looks best for the tail(s) to be out further backward.
Unless the view of the character's face is completely full-front, straight-on (which doesn't usually look that good and should be used sparingly), the muzzle should be visibly protruding from the face. Similarly, when you're not drawing the nose from a full profile (it still makes a "v") you should see some of both sides of the face, even if it's just a little of it. If you don't, it makes your drawings look flat.
If a character is lifting something heavy, they need to stand more solidly: put their legs more apart, and distribute their weight a bit more. Again, make sure the character is balanced. The heavy thing your character is holding is included in that balance, too, so it can be a bit tricky. Try and think of what your body does to prepare itself when you lift something heavy.
Whew.

Hurrah! I've been patiently waiting
Haha, I really dunno where that snout thing started at for me. It's like some strange style I incorporated into it. Same thing with my floating whiskers~
Ah, but much much thanks for the advice on balancing! I'll be sure to incorporate that from now on. I'll be needing it for later pages. X3
Thanks once again! <3 I really appreciate the help! I'll get right to work fixing this page up.

I like the floaty whiskers. 
Though the problem with the muzzle thing is that it flattens out your drawings and makes their faces look very two-dimensional. If the whole comic looked two-dimensional, it could probably work. As it is, it looks out of place... more like a drawing inadequacy than an artistic decision... On the whole, I think the drawings suffer for it. =/
You're very welcome! 
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, why thank you. <3
I sort of feel the same way as of late. With the exception of some humorous scenes (where it looks more cartoony and flat) I think it would look best with at least some shading to emphasize the snout's visibility. I won't go back and fix them in chapter 1, but i look forward to experimenting with it in chapter 2.
Nah, not at all. I prefer you to be brutally honest. It helps a lot more than the sugar coated stuff some people can give. C:
Currently no other page really stands out (aside from the Prologue, but I'm fixing that myself). If I ever do find one that gives me trouble, I'll let you know though!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, I kind of don't think shading the 'flat' snouts would be enough to compensate for the lack of drawing volume. =/ You're welcome to try it and I'll talk about it then, but to be honest I'm skeptical.
For the humorous scenes using a more stylized look works. Just be sure it looks intentional and not like a weird artistic hiccup.
Haha, still, I try not to be too brutally honest.

I was beginning to sense the tension between the two groups even before this page came for some reason
Sorry I haven't commented on a lot of the new pages but believe me I've caught up with the story thus far and I'm still captured by it (:
I'm beginning to wonder if Lord Federico is really the guy everyone says he is o.o It's got me intrigued and I know that we'll have to wait and see if it's true, which is why I'm looking forward to his first appearance! xD
Anyways my favorite panel has to be the 3rd one. Poor dear must be traumatized by the rumors alone ):
π: 0 β©: 1
Pretty much D: Stuck up attitudes seem to be a requirement. Darn those richies!
Don't worry 'bout it, knowing you read it is enough for me :3
Haha, don't fret, he'll appear soon enough if all things go well. c:
Indeed. Not good, not good at all.

I like his white thingie! 
Does anyone there have a different coloured rose?
π: 0 β©: 1
Violence is always the answer--I MEAN never the answer!
There's 4 different colored roses: pink, red, yellow, and orange.
Each color represents a rank in Royalty. Buuut I'm not going to ruin it by telling you now. They'll tell it in the comic on page *thinks* 20 C:
Thank yas!

First panel. xD Looks like they could make a CD cover.
And I'm so relieved she's imagining Prince Charming. 8D

I was also thinking a white carnation. XD
You're shading is darker in this page. I have to say my favorite panel is the 3rd. Your perspectives are improving. Auron would do what Tanner is doing. He so would. XD Can I eat Reuben?
π: 0 β©: 1
lol, you always notice the shading, haha xD
I probably need to go back and see if each page has the same shading value.
Yes, yes you may. >X3

Reuben made me so angry D8< You asshole, you're nothing but a snob! 3:<
Amazing expressions and story telling, as always, Filly @.@ Can't explain how this comic interests me so much, but it has to do with the mood in this. I get all sunk in it, and love it how it progresses ( btw awesome that you submitted this page so quickly n.n ). Can't wait for Federico finally to show himself...
Yeah, must be a little piece of cotton >3
π: 0 β©: 1
He finally showed his dark side. Not cool. >:[
Thanks, I'm really glad to hear it's pulling off that kind of vibe for you <3 That's what I'm trying my best to do.
And yes, I'm gonna keep trying to submit pages as regularly as I can :'D
Haha, indeed. X3

The white thing, it's a dandelion puff. A puff I say!
Yay new page! I was surprised, indeed this is blasphemy of the blackest kind.... I like it. You should commit blasphemy more often.

Dandelion puff of major WIN.
Indeed. Perhaps I shall... mwuhaha.

I'm willing to bet that after you've teased us for another 5 pages, you'll reveal Lord Frederico as a grumpy semi-cripple.
So...are the eye markings like that of Tanner and Kailani just very common (the curly ones with three vertical dots) or are they just so symbolic that they are tattooed to the faces of youngsters? 'Cause I noticed not only them having that but also Reuben, the triplets, Callia, Brandon (Ha, didn't mix him up this time) and Jenelle were all carrying the same marking.
Tanner sure is weak - one simple shove and he already needs assistance getting up...
That last panel...I don't think it's possible to bend one's finger like that. Yeah, I tried. Of course, it's not like mine are very bendy either..
By the way, regarding your new ID - you might wanna try blending the edges of the pictures together a bit. Or make the logo a bit more prominent like Epic games did .
π: 0 β©: 1
xDDD oh god. Who knows man, who knoows...
Haha, actually, you messed up again cause...
"So...are the eye markings like that of Tanner and Kailani..."
...Tanner doesn't have the markings on his eyes. Aha. *gets brick'd*
But yes, those markings are kind of like that of a birthmark for Royals. All Royals have those markings on their eyes. Or should at least. Tanner's bloodline gives reason as to why he doesn't have them, but I'm not revealing why just yet.
The markings will be better described later in the comic. But glad to see you're noticing the little things. :3
I know, and I mean, look at him, he's BIGGER than Reuben! Reuben's like a freakin' twig. Tanner's a wimp. XP
Well, my fingers can bend like that. Or close enough:
[link]
[link]
(Had to take the pics myself so it's not the exact angle as in the comic)
Though I might have to fix Callia's hand up some since it's a bit off in accuracy.
Well, it's not meant to be prominent. The symbol is meant to be a bit camouflaged among the other pics. But I get what you're saying about the blending. i might try that.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ammnn darnit......on the other hand, I noticed that Reuben lack his eye markings in the second-to-last panel of page 15
Pffft, you've got so many secrets you'll forget half of them before you can explain them.
Eh, yeah, it get's kinda tricky not to notice if you shove them in our faces for a dozen pages.
Besides, when does this comic take place compared to Calestine Princess? A year, 5, more?
