Description Finally I've submetted the first page of something that I plan to continue for some time.
Sorry, but nothing's really happening here, I was experimenting with shadowing and mirror effects (that I screwed up bigtime)
Note that this is many years into the future, the glasses he wears are laser or some unknown stuff. What happens in the center panels is that he turns off the glasses and put them on the table. And what happens at the end is that the levitating chair turns into a bed. Maybe you'll think this is a bit stupid, but who the hell knows what there'll be in the future?

Oh! I also made my character's hair white. The reason for this is that it's easier to see the shading on his face, and it will also be easier to see when it gets stained with blood (much later in the story).

I hope I'll be able to continue like this, don't kill me if I can't.

I also promise that the next page will be less confusing, also Benny will not be in it.


I'm seriously concidering to add ears to my characters, something I've never really done before, because the characters ended up looking more like chimps. And the only ears that actually looked good on some of the characters were the one I copied from Jhonen Vasquez's series. I think I'll be able to make better ears now, so someday they may appear.



Also note that this is the first deviation where I enable "Advanced Critique Encouraged" So please, no "omg", "kewl" or "You rock / suck" comments. But if you can't find anything else to write, then by all means do it.


EDIT: The thingy to the left in the fifth panel is a ball of drinking-water.

Depends on what you mean by "nice". It was going to be voilent as hell. But as I said in my latest journal, I'm giving it up for now. I hope I will one day be able to draw a real comic story.

I find the panel with "what the hell I am" to be a little confusing. Is hard to tell what's going on.

The rest looks great.

you need to make what's hppaing with the bed more clear... maybe next time you introduce these gagets in have him looking at a magazine.. and have an ad showing a bed/chair or something like that and your readers will slowly figure out whats what... but for this one, needs more inbetween frames showing the chair turning into a flat bed and then lowering him down... i dunno it's difficult to figurre out how to do this without being corny... probbly easiest is personfing the computer and using spoken comands..

"hal, i'm tired, make my bed."

plus htrn can have some funny dilgues as well:
C: would you like coffee sir?
B:fuck you.
C: i'm afraid i cannot grant that request sir. Would you like me to order some adult films?

Dude! You make me want to totally remake it. Especially because of the coffee dialogue. He's half demon, so he should have some bad language. But I always thought of this start as i silent part.

Do you think I should remake it?

no need too, in this case all ya need to do is photoshop in the voice command, but for the next gagget you use ya i'd suggest doing the magazine ad or something of the like, like explaing what glasses do, just a frame of an ad for em on the next page...great start of a series man! comics are hard to get that right balnce of words and drawings XD and this has it.. so again ya, no need to redo it

Oh well. I want to redo it. Also I feel that there is too many panels here, so I might split it into two. I have a better idea for the glasses, and I want to try out some new styles as well, like adding more completely black areas, mainly because the room is supposed to be really dark. The laser glasses, chair and bed ain't supposed to send out any light.

So do I. And I hope I won't screw anything up.

Usually I look far forward in the stories and then think too much about the cool things that will happen later. But now as I've startet I keep my mind at what will happen here in the beginning, so I will hopefully not grow tired of it as I've done before.
