Coelasquid [2009-10-08 22:40:34 +0000 UTC]

Lovin' the fourth panel with the ambly zombies coming towards her, she totally looks hard enough to smash those goofs

Little nitpicks, tho' the first panel where you see her, her eye is set a bit far back on her skull so it's making her face a little sloped. The tears in the first panel where she's starting to get misty eyed look fine, but the second panel where it's running down her cheek it seems a tad... solid and opaque. Maybe a shine or something to suggest clear, reflective water would help? Totally picky little opinion thing that you can choose to disregard, but I'm not totally sure the way you're handling the separation of her ponytail is necessary. It's a distinct enough shape that it reads on it's own, so using the white line to separate it from the rest of her hair is looking a bit like a misplaced shine mark. Especially against the strong shine on the rest of her hair, it seems to make the ponytail seem a little flat.

Can't say much about the story yet since it's only one page but I'm looking forward to seeing more! Good job!

Yeah, i had a nightmare with those eyes and just couldn't see how to fix them. Thanks for the hint, though. And I appreciate the hint with the ponytail - might start handling it like that in future, with a little highlight to accent the shape, maybe.
Thankyou very much for taking the time out to critique. I'm not 100% on the inking with this page, mostly for the reasons you mentioned, but the crits really helped me outline what was wrong so i could fix it next time.

operakitten In reply to flipsidered [2009-10-09 02:02:01 +0000 UTC]

Pooping words on a page is harder than it looks, I'm coming to realize. XD

Dude though, pixie /is/ like distilled awesomeness in a jar or something. It just gets better every time. I always think, "No, there's no /possible/ way it gets better than that" and somehow.... Poof. Better.

AARGH Cannot wait to maybe cross swords with you in this. I brought my artistic duelling banjo. And WHOO, your inks have me VERY nervous about my own position - inking's currently one of my weaker points. But I hope to see you in the contest!

The Art or the Story thus far.
Either way you peaked my interest.
Great job all the way round.
