The dynamic duo (trio) cross paths for the first time!
It's always fun to see these long running characters and how they began some of their long storylines, especially when they're some of my faves.
Also I see Ancelin has a habit of dressing Regi up even still.
Thanks, shen! You'll see much more from me, for sure! On the other hand, I'll be taking a break from coloring for a little while, so, uh, sorry about that :) I figure I could use some time to focus on the stuff I'm not quite as good at, like inking and drawing faces hahah. See you next week for the next installment!
oh my god you guys I just LAUUUUGHED! These were hilarious, truly! Gregly, you left off on such a cliffhanger, I hope you have a BB or something planned next! It does look like you ran out of time a bit but I always do like how easy your lines are to read, even in pencil. Bobo, all the cameos, the ending, so fantastic! And I like your colours! I hope we see more!
gregly, I still loved your comic even though you had to rush it. I know you had some trouble thinking of what to do at the beginning, but I thought you pulled it off really well! I'm a huge fan of your cartoony style, especially how much movement and personality you can get in with just a few lines. I'm also impressed at how every single one of the characters you draw looks very different from each other, despite the simple style. I'm impressed! And you played Ancelin's personality really well! So, uh... keep it up, and hopefully you have more time for your next comic!
Everyone: Looks like I'm gonna definitely be working on backgrounds! I wanted them not to stand out as much as the characters, so it looks like I accomplished that, but I'll work on balancing just how far away the backgrounds look. Also, reference photos! XD The funny thing is that I actually made a conscious decision to skip those this time, thinking I could just make stuff up that looked okay. I'll put a little more effort into those next time. :) Thanks for all the crits and comments, guys!
Gregly, I love your style, and I think that the layouts in your comics are working really well and nice to read. I would say backgrounds, but it looks like you had time troubles. Do a 4 weeker next time!
Bobo, your character art is really strong at the moment compared to the rest, for me. And the cameos, oh the cameos - I do like your interpretation of Moss :P I would work on backgrounds - while you've obviously put good effort in them, I feel like you could still do more - the ones that are the most effective are the ones that have sharp edges all around (like the scene with Xia), the less are the ones with more visible brushstrokes, because they are a bit jarring with your flats on the characters. You could also take a look at city photos and add some more detail to make it more convincing as a living city - they give me the feeling of an abandoned space, despite all the characters you have. Keen to see more. :)
Oh man, both of these comics were really funny.
Bobo, you obviously put time into yours. The whole thing is fully colored with detail. You have some anatomy problems, but nothing practice won't fix. I also enjoy you switching up the perspective to make things interesting; it's nice to see.
Gregly, you know how I feel: you're funny and I love your characters. I don't mind the pencil scans, but I like when you ink them/fix them up in some way.
gregly: I liked your little storyline! It was different from what I'd expect. A very fun read, and your pencils - only style seemed to fit nicely to give it a slightly more childish feel (in a good way). However the pencils only also gave it very unfinished look, with some erasing marks visible and all.
All in all, you have very nice comic style, I really like it! But you should also try to ink your pages to make them more complete.
Bobo: Ahh I loved the cameos! So many. And toro joe.. oh man, that was somewhat creepy. I liked your story a lot too and you used colors well, even though you could've added some lines to the background when your characters interact with it, otherwise it looks like her hands/other limbs are floating because the background seems to be far away.
