Stigmata by Lorenzo Mattotti and Claudio Persanti..
I picked this book up at the library on a whim because of the cover art. It's about an alcoholic dude who wakes up one day with stigmata. The storytelling is great and I am crazy about the Expressionist influences it's got going on.

Hey! I dig how all your story & setting seems to be completely well thought out, It's got a certain feeling of earnestness (earnesty?? words = hard). Your sense of pacing and narrative is good.
I think you could really push it to the next level if you study a bit more on how figures sit in a space - often it seems like your characters are floating in space rather than being grounded - for example you have two characters on the same plane of distance and facing similar angles at the front of an image with only 1 other plane of depth - see page 3 and page 4-panel 1. They are flattened out compared to your other panels. This can usually be fixed by changing up the angles. Try taking note of how people are positioned next time you watch tv - make sketches! It will help.

Hmm! I'll try them next time. I got a hundred business cards printed free from a place called the online printer, but that's New Zealand only.

Is Vistaprint actually any good? I've always heard that their print quality is awful and steered clear of them.
Also you missed writing up a contract - this is super useful:

Don't think that it's only little guys who will try and stiff you. Big companies are pretty capable as well

Thanks man! Yeah the outline stuff is purposeful for those but now it's a habit of mine it's gonna wreak havoc in my comics where there's actual depth n' stuff. I gotta keep that in mind for my new comic I think.
Or maybe rock the superflat

"Flown from around the world". Well, at least the USA has added Canada to their idea of the world now. 
I don't like reality shows or penny arcade, but I also love Erika Moen...I'm conflicted.

Actually nevermind I gotta pull out.
I just remembered I am moving at some point soon, and that means no internet/other unexpected dramas. Soz guise.
I'm keen for doing collab stuff sometime though!

I'll bring Moss 
(or Tod Zombie if you prefer a nonsense character)
Who wants to be my bro-in-chief! I can draw or color or anything in between.

Hey man, good to see you're still cracking on since we battled.
Just seconding what JETSTER's already gone over really...
My technique is to get a mirror and do some studies of your own head - take your time to look and visualise what shapes your face is making. Do measurements by using a pencil to scale. Using the basic shapes that other people teach is all well and good, but unless you get an understanding of their application, their usefulness is still limited.
A good rule of thumb to keep if you're trying to make an accurate drawing - spend at least 50% of your time just looking at things. It sounds like dopey art zen but it pays off, I promise!

The recent forecast from punk land is..
Used to be - Have Nots - they've got their album for free on Paper +Plastick as well. So good.
Under the Phantom Moon - Ghoultown
Ultra Twist - The Cramps
My absolute favourite song right now is called FearTheCat by the Glasgow Glam Bangers from a Scottish punk comp, but it's not on youtube.. I am the hipsterest.

There should be more comments on this
For me, I think you've proved that you're good at drawing the ladies! Do other stuff!
Weak point you're showing so far is rendering - Your soft colored painting stuff is great, but you can take it to the next level by keeping in mind that what makes the soft bits really pop is hard edges within the drawing.
Also the solid blacks - don't forget that eyes interact with shadows as well.

Thanks Pocketmouse!
You're absolutely right, Crumb, Clowes, and all those other depressing types are my influences, though I've not mustered up the patience to go full out on my linework. I am planning to get into more arty comics soon, once I fix up my writing/planning skillz a bit!
And because I can't not post more stuff..
Moss's post-Marked Guard ref sheet; I lazied a bit.
More soon! I have a bunch of stuff laying about post-mid year reviews that I'm finally sorting through.
