I'm sorry I missed this comic when it first went up! I love Blair so much. She's got such boss babe energy, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her badassery. I love how much you vary your angles! I think everyone else pretty much hit on the crits I would have given, so I'll just leave it at that for now! Adding her to my hitlist ;)

congrats and getting in and finishing your first comic project. You have a solid fundamentals. Listen to poeple's crits and do some practices of gesture drawings to work on the stiffness in some poses. also try pulling out the camera some more and experimenting with different viewing angles during action so we can get the whole picture. Good luck and i look forward to seeing your future projects.

Any crit I had was already covered by my peers, but I gotta say that was a pretty tense fight scene!  Good job in getting your first coming on the site

Welcome to Void! I am going to skip on the crits since everyone else already pointed out the same stuff I noticed.  The glaring one is def the page size. I use 1000px wide for mine normally. Anyhow, I am a sucker for Femme Fatales with a dark side [sideeyes Raven] so consider me interested! Looking forward to more comics and your first battle :)

 Thanks to everyone that took the time to give me some feedback! From what I understand the size of the page is an issue and that is my fault, my original idea was to work in a bigger canvas and then re size it to the standar size most folks use here, but it looks like I forgot about that one...

 Speach Bubbles shapes were a gamble, I thought that if I draw them by hand I could get a less stif and more "hand made" look on the general look of the comic, It seems I was wrong there, I will use the elipse tool in the future.
 
And the elephant on the room: Blair's drawing style and all the men in the comic. I agree 100% with this critic, Blair seems like almost an Anime character and I used normal proportions for men when for Blair I made her with normal human proportions but with an Anime like head. I was scared of the comic looking bad cuz I wasn't happy with how I draw men in an animesque style, I should just tried anyways and learn from there.

Again, thanks to everyone for your feedback and I will flip my canvas more often! (I hope)

A very auspicious intro comic for ya!

You definitely have a very clear vision when it comes to laying out fight scenes. You've got some fairly wonky and stiff anatomy in some panels, but other times it's pretty good, so I've got no doubt you're naturally on the way to fast improvement, and I can't wait to see you make your way! My biggest problem is I can't take the circle eyes on the main villain here seriously u_u and all the men in general, when they're not in close-up, there's a big stylistic clash between them and blair, and I think it's all in them not having irises.

Welcome aboard the crazy station wagon! 8D

I already gave my two cents in your approvals, so I'll just second and third the great feedback you've received so far. It's clear you got comic chops, and I personally can't wait to see you take the tips and crits you've received and apply them to your first battle. Cheers!

Cool intro! You're coming in here with a clear understanding of some storytelling basics, a lot of potential, and a lot of room for improvement. I hope to see more comics from you this year. If you take criticism with an open mind and apply it, you could go far.

Some things:
This is good but I didn't end up finishing it because a lot of technical things distracted me.

-Flip your canvas to check for anatomical errors. When it's drawn on the face it's extremely obvious and glaring. The teeth was a big one.

-Be sure to resize your pages for monitor viewing. I'd like to think 1048 is still middle of the road for most PCs nowadays. I haven't checked it on mobile but it probably would have shown up fine then.

- This last one is a bit high concept. Your cartooning is fine but the men don't seem like they are drawn in the same "world" as your main character. Im willing to say that their silly stylizations strike me as more interesting against a stock anime character. I guess the main issue here is that the "world" you construct can stand to be more cohesive.

Again, This is really good packaging so far and I'll definitely read more.

Welcome to Void!! I'm glad to see this character in action. In addition to working on your speech bubbles, I'd suggest to double check your page size the next time you submit a comic since what you have now was a bit hard to read. The standard around here is anywhere between 800 to 1000 pix wide.

I'm also hoping to see some more character development with Blair as time goes on. How much of a pacifist is she? What would trigger her more violent side to come out? Is she a social person? Hopefully we'll get to learn more as we go along!

Welcome to Void! This is a great first comic :) You clearly have a good grasp of anatomy already and your linework is lovely and clean. I would suggest using the ellipse tool for speech bubbles in the future since the wobbly edges kind of clash with your clean inks. I also had to read Blair’s bio to figure out what was going on - I thought she was possessed by a demon or something since she converse with other Blair in her head. It might be helpful to read up on Dissociative Identity Disorder to write this kind of character.
