Universe Jumper by @RedMoonDragon

Review
Okay, traditionally done and very good to look at. The markers gives this alot of character. The story so far even within the first ten pages is well-paced and overall rather interesting. I have to admit I broke my only 10 pages rule and continued reading a bit further down the line because I was invested. I plan to put this on my read later list. Since I have other comic right now to get to. Nice.

Thanks. I get that whole jagged line complaint a lot. I really am trying to change it for the better.

Joining this on a wildcard.

I’m too awesome for you to not praise me

Finally Whispers of the Past by @Cronaj

The art is beautiful, period.
Nothing more I can say.
Its gorgeous.

Moving on because It looks like it would take ages to draw it. I'll admit I'm rather bored by pure romance generally. The story and characters have to be either dark and messed up as all hell, or the comic has to be just short vinettes so it doesn't take too much of my time. Ie one strip a week. But your comic has just a soothing start and nice looking art that I'm curious on where its going. The characters so far seem likable, so very nice.

Hold your horses. This is still closed. I would get to them when It opens up. But so far I hope everyone enjoys theses as much as I enjoy making them. I hope to open it up soon again and get to the late comers.

Any comments and cross promotion would be fantastic.

Thanks, Judith Beheading Holofernes does seem to be a popular one - I post my comics to Reddit and it's currently my best rated submission. I get the commentary on the lack of theme - right now I'm not sure whether or not it's a flaw because I'm using this comic as essentially a dumping ground for all my amusing thoughts, so it's bound to be a mixed bag for most people.

I get more experimental with my art with later strips, so I would be curious what you think of those - but I understand you're limiting how much of these comics you read to get through the reviews.

[redfrombluelife]

Hold your horses. This is still closed

What???

WHAT??
Since when has anything been closed when I arrived???

Don’t get it??

[Freemints30]

Red don't be a Karen. You will have to wait in line like everyone else.

[redfrombluelife]

So this is how it feels to be set aside. Low prioritized. To be the common amount the mass. This is how it feels to wait???

There's a first to everything.

Interesting??
But I’m not a fan of it

I believed using other free art programs can lead to less jagged lines since lines default anti-alias thingy makes the line less jagged(can be changed within the Microsoft paint program itself but the program when I last used it didn't allow for layers and other stuff). Don't quote me on that I could be wrong

Media Bang
Fire Alpaca
Krita(very complicated at first so best start of with the ones above)

Are free art programs I used to use. Media bang has the advantage of cloud storage and easy creation of panels, and krita once you get used to it has more features(text tool is not that good and it ran pretty badly on my ex-laptop but it was the last one I used before buying clip paint) and Fire Alpaca is good for animation and has a decent text tool

[Fuzzyman818]

Thanks for the info. I've been meaning to get back into the animation game for a while now. Maybe this could be it.

[Freemints30]

Your welcome. Don't be afraid too use more than one program for your comic. Like I used Krita to draw the comic itself and then used Fire Alpaca for the text. Or using one program to sketch and another one to ink and color.

Most free art programs tend to have one key thing you want missing so its alright to use multiple for one project.

[Macarenaoftime]

The "(0/5)" followed by the "(CLOSED)" is giving me mixed signals

[Cronaj]

Thanks for taking the time to read and offer your thoughts! I wouldn't say it is pure romance, haha, but I guess I can see why you thought that initially.

[Freemints30]

Yeah I get that. Its more how many comics I'm working on at the movement. With a maximum of 5. I'm not doing more right now.

[Macarenaoftime]

Thanks for the clarification. Don't overwork yourself

[But_a_Jape]

I'm curious, I exclusively use Krita for my comic and know nothing about Fire Alpaca - what benefit have you found for using both?

[ExodusGuard]

Hey, read through the reviews you posted and the feedback seems super useful. I'd like a review as well, if you ever have time to get to it.

This is our fantasy short story with 5 episodes total. It's part of a planned full series that will be coming soon:
