Good Job Anginess, One of the most awesomeness story tellers on the sight. I like the subplot with the Mom issue, looking forward to finding out more on her.
Art wise, I like your pen an ink stuff better, but i understand if you want to go digital it takes awhile to get use to drawing that way, and you are definitely improving... huzzah!
Your grasp on the perspective issue has much improved, i can tell it's still frustrating at times... but it feels much more natural now... great job, very proud of you.
The only thing that struck me odd was panel 2 page 12, When Julia hugs Angie, and i guess because both shirts are red... it took me a minute for my brain to disect the line work, I think if you would have not connected Julias are all the way around, and left a small gap around the armpit it might have distinguish the line work better... anyway just me nitpicking...
Oh yeah the other major complaint from me is that.... sniff... whimper.... No more art from you until next year....

Penryn88-glad you liked it! Yeah, I noticed that on the faces too, it seemed to happen a lot on overhead and quarterviews, I'll try to work on it.
Wolcik-thanks! Yeah I think in the future I'll try and incorporate some more blacks to try and make it not feel like there's as much negative space. It's a bit harder to get much detail in this style but I'll see what I can do

Angie, your BB and battles are always fun to comment somehow
Art wise I know that there isn't much going on, and whole visually it doesn't get boring thanks to changes of "camera angles". It's yet much more simplistic in comparison to all your recent Battles and BB and that's very visable with backgrounds and shading - it's not bad, but it seems weaker to me, but that's because your coloring style is very impresive for me and I'm super jelous about that XD
Story wise it went very smoothly. Expressions showed what characters were feeling at times and you could go with a journey with them. The whole relationship thing wasn't movie like, but that's probably because you tried to make it more real life like. I liked new scar thingy and it was a good development for their relations.
I'd say that things that don't click now will have to fix themself over the process of you drawning more - practice is everything.
Thanks to seeing you express your thoughts about such minor things in Angie's story I want to spend some more time drawning my BBs after I got beaten in Tournament.

I really enjoyed this, everything seemed to come together to form a great product. the inks, the simple colors, the layouts, the story, and mood, s'all good! i think the only crit i got for you, is your proportions on some you faces were a tad off, but it was nothing major. good work

Glad you guys enjoyed it I'm a huge slice of life fan so I always love getting the chance to do more slice of life comics. It makes me happy to see Void being receptive of those kinds of comics
Drawdan-thanks! Yeah, that kind of stuff was always really fun to read. haha And oh god those first comics are pretty horrible but I'm glad you've seen progression and improvement in my work.
Orange-glad to hear it! The ending gave me some trouble so it's good to hear it was successful.
Dr. David PhD-thanks! Also I'm glad you were able to understand the comic fine, I've been working on making it easier for people to jump right in without reading prior comics even if it's just through recaps. So it's good to hear that a new person was able to get it fine

the concept with the whole hole + window into the terrors of the digestive system was pretty awesome, i enjoyed that idea [and the rest of the comic] thoroughly. cool colors too, especially like the 'nighttime' scheme you had going on the last few pages. also from a story standpoint, you did a pretty good job since I am coming into this comic pretty much fresh-faced and i felt like i understood what was going on!

Hey, nice job with this. I really enjoyed reading it! It was cool to see some regular-day interaction type stuff going on here. The ending was my favourite part (no, not because the comic was over >O! haha) because of just how well it tied everything up from the comic.

Its always nice to read about normal stuff, not just the fighting and the conspiracys and the assisnations etc. This is a sweet little slice of Angies life. I always remember getting more into what was going on between Clark and Lois over Superman and Lex, and laughing at all the problems Parker ran into when he tried to juggle his Spidey time with Mary Jane time. Thats what youv got here and its good stuff. I like the way your style has progressed as well Angie, I recently went all the way back to your first comic since we started our talk about a collab and read Angie from the beginning. You have come a LONG way since then and I really like where you have landed. Great stuff!!

I think your style is really evolving. I always think you're great, and now I see some subtle improvements. Your body language for example is really fluid and believable in this comic, very natural. Also the whole comic has a nice clean and graphic style to it that I really like. And I love Panel 1 on Page 10 - disgusting but well designed. Keep the great Angie comics coming!

It's nice to see Angie have to deal with regular relationship stuff after a lot of all the masked men skulduggery. You did some nice stuff with angie's different expressions on this.

I wasn't initially going to do this comic since it felt like not enough really happened, but there are some things in here that'll have significance later and I was getting bored waiting on pages from some clients so I figured my as well. I tried to make an effort to do at least one panel per page that used perspective, I didn't always *succeed* at making it happen but I wanted to get more practice in. I will say that holy crap, doing a comic that largely consists of two people sitting next to each other for a large portion of the comic is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
Anyways, good times. Hope you guys enjoy, this is the last comic I'll have the time to draw for the year.

Yaz-glad this is one of your favorites now! I wasn't certain how it would go over since there's not much happening so that's good to hear.
Alberto-Thanks! It's quite an honor to be called one of the best story tellers on the site so I really appreciate the compliment. I'm glad my perspective seems to be improving, I tried really hard to get practice in on this comic. And yeah, that panel caused me some problems, I wish I'd put some solid blacks to help break them up some.
