Description
<< ..:::.. >>I know inconsistency is the devil, but I wanted to try a new style of drawing for this comic to see if it makes the process go any faster. It didn't this time because these past few days have been busy for me, but drawing the comic entirely on the computer is faster than drawing it on paper and scanning it. Plus it looks a lot neater. Pixels may not be the highest of quality art medium, but they're also easy and fast to work with. In this case scenario, I'm choosing quantity over quality. I'd like to get these done and up as soon as possible. I'm sure you'd agree.
Some opinions would be appreciate on what you guys think.

The way you drew the characters in this "Solatorobo" comic looks really nice, that's for sure.

I don't think I wanna know how he figured that out.

Yay for sexism!

And the funny part is that Red lives with two girls. You'd think he'd be a little more open to feminism what with no guys around. Maybe he's just pissed that now he has to share the bathroom with another girl. XD

I like Elh's face in the third panel~ It reminds me of her in game look~ >///w///< and yet, your style works very well~ i like how you try to make them more feral in appearance~ >///w//<

Haha. Thanks! I'm pretty impartial to how anthros tend to look so human in anime, especially in the face. It kind of defeats the purpose. Solatorobo avoids that pretty well on its own, but I can always find a way to make them look more like the animals they are. X3

It gives Elh more "catiness" than she already has.....get it? >///w///<"

Momentarily, I was confused about the light source in the second panel, since it seems to be coming from the window the grey one is looking out and also from off screen where.. er... the main guy is. (I haven't played the game yet D: So I'm not sure of the names..) But then I see he's at a window as well. Maybe next time just pull back the view so we see a part of the window?
But in a room FULL of windows and light coming from all different directions, nothing looks out of place.
Other than that I think the panelling is well done~
And the expressions are just right. I find a lot of people waaay over play them, or otherwise it's pretty expressionLESS. The only thing that seems a bit off is the main guy's snout in the second last panel. It looks a bit angled at the top to the right of the page while the rest of his head doesn't seem to tilt that way. But I'm not an expert with muzzles, open or closed. So it could just be me.
And I think pixels do neaten it up. I think it works out better this way, but whatever works bet for you is what counts.
All in all, I'm enjoying this~ I look forward to the next page.

Hey, thanks for actually giving me an extensive analysis on a page. You're the first.
I'll admit that I did have a hard time with the shading on this page because the light source is coming from everywhere except behind them and in between them. I know I don't show it much in this page, but most of the room is surrounded by windows. I have no idea if the shading I did was right or wrong. I just winged it. X3
I also agree about Red's muzzle. It looks a bit strange to me, too. I suppose we see too much of his bottom teeth. But, again, that part gets difficult. And you also brought up a very important point that I didn't realize until just now. I'm making this comic majorly to attract people who haven't played the game yet. But despite that, I'm treating it as though the readers should already know who the characters are. I completely forgot about clearly stating all of their names. Now, Red's name will be stated in the next page... and Chocolat (the pink one) will be the page after or so. As for Elh (the gray one)... I don't think her name is EVER stated in the entire chapter. I'm definitely going to have to find a place to fit that in soon.
So yeah, thanks a bunch for your comment or else I never would have realized such a jarring oversight. I'll keep what you said in mind about the shading and their snouts. And thanks for the compliments! ^.^

Sure thing! Wow, I am? .n.
Oh no I get you. It's hard stuff. I'd have no idea how to do it myself really :'D
Mmhm muzzles are a weakness for me.. kinda why I wimp out and just eleminate them *cheap*
Alright! XD
No problem! It happens to everyone, if you know the characters so well, then everything just sort of flows even without the names.
