Feedback on My Comic: What Am I Doing Wrong/Right?

Trickster511 2018-02-08 23:28:20 UTC #1

Hey everyone, Dexter here! I've been in and out of this community for some time (mostly because of lack of stable internet) and I've read some awesome comics on here! I don't have time to read all of them of course, but I read enough to point out some flaws on my own comic.

But to heck what I think! I want to know what YOU think about my comic! Is it interesting? Is it confusing? Is it inconsistent? Is it too elaborate? Is the artwork ok? I need to know and I love hearing from you guys!

So please if you can take the 10 minutes out your day to look at my stuff and give me your feedback, I'd really appreciate it, thank you. Side note: I'll make sure to read more of you guys' stuff as well when I get my internet back and when I have time, I swear!

UPDATE: You guys' feedback has been wonderful! I edited the first 5 pages so you guys can read it better with a few minor tweaks here and there. I tried my best to make it as clear as possible. Also, starting on the 20th, the panels will look much better for your viewing pleasure. Thank you guys so much and if there's anything else I can improve upon, let me know!

First impresion is really important in a comic, and your first page is really bad, but it's not bad because the drawing or the story, is bad because the letters. It are letters for ants! It are so small! It's hard for me to read the first page in a PC, imagine try to read it in a cellphone. For that reason I did not read the page, I just saw it.
Another thing bad is the panels are separated by a line, that looks ugly, it would be better if the panel are separated by a space, look another comics in tapas, all have the panels separated for a little space.
That's all.
PD: Sorry my bad english, I try my best.

Thanks for your feedback! This really helps. I have a question, do you think I should go back and redo those pages or just continue on and learn from my mistakes?

At least the pages with letters made by hand you should redo. the letters made in computer are easier to read.

I agree with @susurro, and I think you should learn from your mistakes too

I kid you not, Mr. Karupt's design is based on Mr. Krupp AKA Captain Underpants! Great eye! Also, thanks for the feedback!

You need to work on your layout. In your two earlier comics, it is confusing what is the sequence in which how the panels should be read. You want to direct your reader's eye in one quick glance (top left to bottom right) instead of having to dart all over the place. Try to limit the number of of speech bubbles per panel. If you need to add more panels instead of trying to squeeze so much in the available space. I hope any of this helps.

Thanks so much for your feedback! I'll have a better layout in my future pages with better looking panels and better bubble placements. As for my earlier pages, stay tuned for an update!
