Haha, this is probably one of my favorite pages for some odd reason. I can't say why. I just really love how the whole thing came together so cleanly.
The first of many punches to come!
KAILANI PUNCH.
I'm trying to make Kailani look a little less anorexic like most Ambivians seem to be. Especially since she has Lanian in her. I don't want her to be fat or chubby or anything, just big-ish boned. But not too much so cause I still want her to have a curvy look.
lol I dunno I'm just experimenting.

Favorite panel: 8/last Least Favorite panel: 6 (I reffed with a pic of myself but it still looks weird) 
Personal Crits (ones I'd prefer you not mention): -The one-take look of panels 3,4,7 & 8. Cause I made it that on purpose. That's always how I imaged the scene in my head. C:
Constructive Criticism, pointing out flaws, and spelling/grammatical help is DEFINITELY helpful!

Confused at seeing another hybrid... riiiiiight. >=3
The way you're drawing the muzzles now looks a lot better. 
On to crits... It looks to me like you're using blue to shade with? That's a good technique and I'm not recommending you change it, but when you shade Tanner's eyes, the blue shows up in the white and it makes them look like a part of his face. You might want to consider using black/gray or purple when shading about the whites of his eyes if you want to avoid that.
In the last panel, Tanner's left (closed) eye looks a bit too far over and should be a little closer to the muzzle, and in panel three, his spine/rib cage don't look properly centered. Other than that, the art's lookin' pretty good.
...As for the perspective, I'm having a lot of trouble with it because I feel like I don't have enough information regarding the dimensions of the room, especially because panel two is blocking view of the corner. Would it be possible for you to upload that first panel without panel two in it somewhere?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
PFFF IT'S TRUE ;D
*cough*
Many thanks! Glad the muzzles are working out a lot better now.
Actually I do use black to shade. xD; Though I shade my eyes using the burn and dodge tools (lol I know, bad habit). So I'm guessing that's due to the burn tool. I'll have to keep an eye on that next time :0
Oh! But wait, do you mean the whites as in the part behind the iris or the little white-glare-like-thing part in the pupil? If you mean the whites, well, I don't use white I use a pale near-white blue for all my aliens
Ooh, I see! I'll have to change that! Thanks for pointing that out!
Well, there's nothing defined (inked or colored) behind that panel, but I'll try and get the rough draft of it and send you by a link C:

You're welcome!
"If you mean the whites, well, I don't use white I use a pale near-white blue for all my aliens. 
...Oh. That's fine, then! Carry on.
Don't worry about making behind the panel look pretty or anything. As long as you can see the corner it works.

Is Madame Zamora deaf?
I see some kind of hearing device in her ear...
Keep them pages coming!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes! Indeed she is deaf! The headphones allow her to hear. Glad someone noticed to question that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I notice stuff
It drives everyone else insane when I notice the small stuff.
They're like "Shut up!!" or "none of your business!!"
Cool comic!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Jeez, they have problems! xD Unless it was something obvious like "OMG SHE HAS HAAAIR" and it's like "..uh.. yeah. She does. O.O " then I can see how that gets annoying, but other than that

Hey! I just had an idea.
Do you think you could have a band play there?
If they have limos (that was a cool moment though), they should have guitars and stuff like that as well.
Since it's your comic, you should choose the band that plays there or make up a name for one, I'm just hoping I could see one there.
I'm not begging you, just asking.
Now if you don't mind, I'm going to sleep.

Haha that would actually be pretty awesome!
I think I might add that in to a later chapter...
Ok, I'll spill a little something that'll be said later. Pretty much, the Royals of the Royal Palace (where the event is taking place at the moment) were too snobby and stuck-up to allow all the people to go into a nicer room. Because they were afraid the rotten kids would "mess it up" so they told them to do it in this little crappy room. That's why the room is pretty boring looking. It's basically a left-over room that no one uses except as a "backup" room. This is also why the tables don't even have stinkin' drinks on them or food. Cause they're butts
Haha, but yes, it's not cause I'm lazy, it's because it's a PLOT DEVICE oh mai!
But later on in the story they return to a, nicer, room in the palace for a party. I think when that comes Ill put in some violinists or something to make the party fancy ;D That's a nice suggestion!

YES IT IS!!! I LOVE MUSIC!!!!
Since this story seems to have pretty modern technology, why not go all the way?
And I did notice that since I'm such a fatass, I was like "Hey, where's the food?"
After eating something (cause thinking about it made me hungry) I kinda figured that there had to be a reason to be in such crappy room if that's a special occasion.
Thank you for not turning me down!!
(I was so worried you wouldn't believe it)

Not at all! 8D
I love suggestions for things like that. Helps make my job easier!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why can't there be more people you like you in the world?
Exactly how does it make your job easier?
Are you having trouble coming up with stuff for your comic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it's not that itself. It's just that sometimes I have trouble coming up with the little things like that, like scenery and extras and the like. Suggestions then come in real handy for me! Also with critiques. When people critique on, say, my anatomy, it helps me to go back and fix it and to furthermore improve. If I, for example, made my arms too long and someone pointed that out, I'd know that from now on to make my arms less long.
So it's really helpful!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it shouldn't be too hard considering what you have shown so far. (With the technology they use & stuff)
I will admit that it's not easy coming up with stuff.
There are lots of concepts on how to make a comic feel like a real story that you can't always get everything.
I know, cause I have a comic I want to start but I don't even have a fixed plot to start it, just some characters.
But your doing great so far!

Stoopid, stoopid, stoopid. Never hit the back button before you send the comment <_<
Damn, I'm slow. Most of the things I was planning to say about the perspective have already been said.
On thing I didn't see noted though - in the lower right corner is a single Royal. Her head size and detail level make it seem as if she is the same distance from the camera as Kailani and Tanner, yet she looks 20-30cm shorter than they are.
I know most people love the last panel, but 5th panel kinda gets me. That look on Tanner's face...it's almost as if he's planning on poking Kailani (can't believe that I spent two minutes trying to remember her name) to see if she's been violated.
Also, do Lanians/Ambivians wag their tails when they're irritated? 'Cause that's what Kailani seems to be doing in 7th panel.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes, I just noticed her recently. I'll probably be removing her altogether from the crowd there.
But what else should be changed? All the things I mentioned or...?
You're like, the perspective master so I've love any tips I could get from you. xD
Haha what? You mean he's trying to get in her head or something? Or he's literally wanting to poke her? I'm not sure what you mean. (I got a funny image in my head though lol)
Yes, Ambivians flick the tips of their tails when agitated. Much similar to how cats do. The Queen also did the same thing in one of the pages she was in if I recall...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pfft, perspective master...all I know is BAWWWWWing about other people's errors and then realizing that I've made the same mistakes in my own pieces
But the other thing was first and foremost the room itself as the curtain line and floor line are nearly parallel. I'm not sure which is off more - Garin/Zamora or the crowd. Technically you could fix the perspective by changing either of those...I think. In all honesty, you should first try fixing the room itself before trying to fix the people in it. If the room is correct then you should have a better idea how to place stuff since you can draw perspective lines as a guideline.
Oh yeah, now that you mentioned it she really does do that. That was an unexpected detail. They flick the tips of all their tails?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Naw, usually they just flick one of 'em. They don't really have that great of movement in their tails since the nerves and muscles in their tails get weaker with every new tail they get. Some old Ambivians who have around 10 tails can't move them at all

lololol Tanner! Some people don't like being so blantent. I love panel five.
Nice motion effect making. It's the win! 8)

Surely! I suggest mainly just start out referencing until you learn the basics. Then start experimenting. Here's a good place to find guides: [link] (in the description)
