Description
Hey guys,So the color on this is taking longer than I thought
So I figured I would get some feedback from anyone who cares to give it ^^
Too detailed? Or too dark? I already flattened the panels thus far, so I can't really do a quick change, but any feedback would be really helpful for page 2.
Meanwhile, I'll go work on more commissions <3

It's looking great! I'm not an expert on comic pages or anything, but its a bit too colorful for me, not that i hate color or anything

I would really love to know how you did this because I am working with a group on comics and I would love to learn that coloring style or something like it for the newest one coming up.
It looks really nice, it reminds me of the old Marvel or DC comics that would put in all the detail in their work.

WTF! OMG! UR RIGHT!!!!! KAY FEDEWA TOTALLY COPYRIGHTED AND OWNS ALL COMICS!!!!!!!11!!1!111 o.0;;
ok, now for someone who has a brain
I've got to say I do love this so far, the little panel with the feet. nice job, I can't tell if it is bear or what. but I do know it is an animal, and the one next to it, I see the little shadows of something off in the distance.
and the background is obviously not that of the woods or your standard forest. but that of something lush, but not swampy. can't wait to see more of this looking forward to it

Thank you very much, I'm really glad you like it so far. Once the actual page is up, the main species will be revealed. Right now, they're in a sort of forest in south america.
I thank you for your comment, but please keep sarcasm to a minimum. I don't think they meant much harm in the comment, so we'll just leave it at that ♥

you replied the comment to me so I'm not sure if it will appear in Lazeros' inbox, sweetie ^^

I know she would look at the pic, and therefor see that part of the comment that was for her

really? Can I ask how you came to that conclusion? I'm curious.
Thanks for your input though <3

Oh.. ya know.. the first page, where it's rainy.. and there's a footstep.. xP I was simply trying to point out that it had been done before. [link] Tell your watchers to lay off with the insults, please.

oh, lol. No worries, the next three panels are completely different <3
and people are bugging you? I'll go have a word with them |D

Idunno I just don't like to be called brainless by someone who misunderstood my comment is all ^^

I asked them to stop, sorry about that. I do hope that once the page is finished that you feel differently though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sure I will!

I think it's looking good so far! And I like that you set up the scene with all of the background work 
I look forward to more pages! You know how I love comics
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ohhh, I never thought of that! hmm, maybe I'll give that a try once I'm done with the panels. Does it look weird to switch between black and white lines on different pages?
yay * hugz*
also, how've you been? I haven't been around much due to student loan issues ><;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A little odd, which is why I suppose you may want to find a nice medium in there 
I'm doing all right. We had a bit of a family crisis on my end (loss in the family) and it left my sister and niece pretty... well, devastated really :C But, they're doing a little better, as am I
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm so confuzzled DX
Feel free to take this and draw over it, seriously XD
;^;I'm so sorry to hear about this... I know how hard a loss can be. *hugz* My heart really goes out to your family and niece. I'm glad to hear you guys are doing a bit better though. I know it is a series of up and downs that just never seem to end. *hugz*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I knew it would sound confusing
It's tough. Sadly, it was my niece's father :C The poor dear doesn't quite understand the concept of death (she's nine years-old. She understands it, but not to the extent an adult would understand it... she asks my sister why she can't see her daddy anymore, and it breaks her apart to hear her say it

I think it's wonderful! I will warn you though, the more detailed each page is the slower releasing them will be. I started out my comic very similar, in digital and with over 5-6 panels per page it took like 3 months per page! I started it over in a much simpler format this Jan and am a good way in and a lot happier! ^_^ If you can stick with it go for it! It does look great, it's a ton of work and dedication to follow through on a comic.

I think I'm going to try and keep establishing panels detailed, and backdrops for characters not so detailed. This way their location sets the scene. leaves a little to the imagination I guess.
But I also see exactly what you mean with your comics, and it makes a lot of sense.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well thanks for having a look, that's a great honor ^_^ I can't wait to see more of yours!

whoa nice detail.
hmm some inputs from my end-
(1) normally when panels are detailed, the panel formatting is simpler. that way, reader's eyes are automatically guided from one panel to another.
(2) that level of detail is hard to keep up over time.
anyway take my inputs with grain (or sack) of salt
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like your input, could you by chance scribble me a sample of a more simple panel format? Right now I've just been going by my friend's input as far as paneling.
I agree with you on the detail, since it has been rather slow going. So I was thinking of using high detail to establish location, and simpler styles in the panels where the characters are the focus
And I love helpful crit <3

[link] <-- here you go
general direction of image also helps guide the reader's eyes. what you can do is use the direction the characters are looking at to easy panel-to-panel transition. lines in the composition can help too.

wow! this is amazing! this kinda detail may be hard to keep up for a full length comic, but it's still great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree to an extent, as I said to someone else, I'm now thinking I will keep details for establishng background panels, yet be a bit more blurred when the character is the focus
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
mmm that's a good idea
Hope it goes well! (I'm sure it will xD)

Oh btw, what program(s) are you using?
I'm interested in making a comic and I have Manga Studio four.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, programs, I've been using just photoshop CS3
I really really want Painttool Sai, since it has such epic blending, but for now I'm stuck with Photoshop XD
I have no idea if manga studio would be good or not. I have a version of it, but it's only black and white.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think the version I have has some color capabilities... its got like four disks... So do you use the basic shape tool to make panels?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I love this. What a detailed and colorful comic! Though I would warn you against making it TOO detailed because that seems to cause a lot of artists to bur out and abandon the project...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm thinking I will be detailed when the background is the focus, and then less detailed when the characters are the focus. This way the setting is clear even when the panel may be cryptic.

Feedback.
Hm -- I completely envy your fantastic talent - but no criticism. It's awesome, mate.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can do it girl! Its looking great! The detail is stunning
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you *hugz* I'll try to finish this page soon
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, see.. this makes me want to read more, not think about anything else. XD
PLEASE FINISH THIS! 8D *flails excitedly*
I suppose, if you want to save time and get the backgrounds done faster, to simplify shapes and forms to silhouettes that are recognizable but not as detailed. Obviously that first close-up shot can be detailed, as well as the feet in the middle panel, but yeah.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yay ;^; that makes me really happy. I've put a lot of thought into this storyline over the last few years, so I'm hoping it works out well XD
It shall be finished! I'm hoping I continue the comic even after I've completed the novel XD
And yea, I think in upcoming pages, it will have to have a bit less details, especially since the characters will be taking up most of the panels. But overall, the whole thing feels a tad too saturated, and dark. But not dark in the way It's supposed to be XD
I'm really glad you like it so far though *hugz*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand completely.
Dark, but not dark? Maybe shifting around the contrast levels will help you out there. (I use Levels a looooot, more often than Brightness/Contrast) =3
*huuugz* No problem <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks for that, I gave it a try, and it seems to have lightened up a bit. Unfortunately, it's a tad more saturated. But I think it's better than before XD
