Looks like a texture and color overlay, possibly with an added film grain filter. Not saying it wasn't a cool idea, it just needed better timing/better reason to be there. XD It'd be a cool thing to see as a lead-in to a more action packed or dramatic scene. It's a good tool for jarring the reader, snapping them to attention.
Hm my understanding of that scene is that Boek's crying is either so annoying or so loud that it's just really obnoxious to the point of causing reality to screech to a halt. That's my guess though...actually....was I right? I think the ambiguity of that scene means it could have been a bit more tightened up but I did find it kind of cool and I'm really curious how you did the static effects. I mean I'm guessing you had a transparent layer with some sort of effect or something...
I'm a tad confused by the bit in the middle with the cut-away and PLEASE STAND BY. It didn't seem to lead to anything and felt very "just thrown in there."
Otherwise, this was a fun read. Your colors are very pleasing and poses energetic. I loooove Wizzie's face. The little glisten on her lips makes me think she's wearing lip gloss, it's a super cute touch. :]
I love your style here. The use of color and expressions really help to bring the characters alive. I also like how you do your backgrounds, a lot of loose painted strokes that come together to give the background a personality as well.

I love Wizzie's facial expressions. My biggest problem with this comic was that the font was too small. Also, the replaced art in the 4th page was a bit jarring, especially since a chunk of Wizzie was missing in one of the panels.
Also, I was very confused as to what was going on when Boek started to cry. I'm guessing that it's Wizzie's magic causing interference.. but with what? Is she being watched by someone? possible the same person who set her up with an apartment and job? Hmmm... CALLING IT
Thanks for the crit and the advice! I would be confused to as they're in the wrong order so on my forum art thread I've placed the pages in the CORRECT order if that'll be any help to you http://entervoid.com/board/index.php?topic=11724.15

I just want to warn everyone that this comic doesn't show my full potential yet, it was a learning curve and I've learnt FROM this comic and what I can acheieve, it's not exactly action-packed and more dialogue driven. Alas - excuses, excuses.
We're all learning, all the time. I failed miserably the in my first battle, but I learned that I could pump out lots of art in a short amount of time (I did 10 pages in 3 days).

A new artist submitting their battle finished - AHEAD of time?
Jolly good show.
When it comes to deadlines, I'm pretty good. But as this was my first, I did start pretty much straight away.
Thanks Six!
