Hello there and welcome!

Your comic is still just starting, so it's hard to give a review, but there's a few things I noticed just from the start. First, your handwriting is a little hard to read. It verges on cursive sometimes, which is generally kind of difficult to read as dialog text. Secondly, your characters look kind of similar and it's a bit confusing. One has ears and the other has wings, but other than those features their hair, size, and faces are a bit same-y. It would be a little easier to tell them apart if you kept the first character's hair dark the way it was in the colored panels.

I hope that helps a little!

I just subscribed to you if you want to comic share. I know how it feels to be brand new here, but give it time and things will pick up. If I may suggest a tip, it would to either use text for your word bubbles or write slower and cleaner as I have some trouble reading the dialogue. In time, you'll learn new tips and tricks to smooth out the rough edges of your comic, but in the meantime, persistence will pay off. I hope you enjoy your stay here. It's a friendly and helpful community to be around.

Hey everyone, I'm really happy to bring you Spaceheads! A humorous comic about four space travelers who are always on the look out for new adventure and treasure. This site has been very helpful in where I can show my work to more people that I could have ever imagined years ago. I will be having weekly updates, and will be hoping to interact with its following. If you have a few moments, please take a look at it. Thanks. ^_^ -Craig

Damn good art and story flow. I subbed yours too. When I get some down time I'll get to read more of your series. Thanks for subbing :D.

@CWCHASE

First impression is that there's something about this that reminds me of Aqua Teen Hunger Force ... in space. It's totally absurd and I love that! Favorite moment in the first episode was most definitely that little soap opera watching bit with the girl cheating on her lover with a soda pop dispenser. Also, I can tell that the art is getting stronger the more of it you draw. Meanwhile, you've got a good eye for contrast and setting up good visual gags, which is really what is going to sell this! I'd encourage you to check out a quick tutorial or two on lettering on youtube ... your lettering is mostly good, but there are a few tricks and rules that might help improve your lettering flow (which will also help you pace and land your jokes too!)

I don't usually follow funnies, but yours is too crazy to pass up. I went ahead and subbed. If you get a chance, feel free to check out one/both of my comics and let me know what you think in the comments section! : ) My current stuff's distinctly NOT funny, so I'm actually curious to see what a more comedic-minded writer thinks.

Keep up the good work!

[CWCHASE]

Thanks for the warm critique. The next issue will have some improvements as nobody is a true master of what they do, they just are always trying to do better on the next thing. I looked at yours and that's a lot of artwork there. At first I thought it was a cgi comic, but was surprised to find that it wasn't. Nice work.

[nketchen]

I read through some pages. You have good ideas and decent drawings. I'm sure your art will get better with time. Certain frames are very well done and easy to look at, while others are kind of awkward. Keep at it, man! One critique: I don't really care about your characters. The character intro page is kind of a bogus idea. Just do a silly comic. The characters are important to you, but you have to take a lot of time to let the reader get to know them and care for them. Just some thoughts. Take it or leave it.

[CWCHASE]

It's all good, thank you for the critique. It will get better over time. I also noticed, the further the pages get, the better it started flowing. I don't think anyone can avoid that, it's like penmanship.

[GerryDraws]

Yeah, here it is https://tapastic.com/series/Gerry-Draws. I'm into some comedy genre where I post some things about my life in my comic. My art style is pretty much anyway, such as manga, doodle, realistic and etc but I draw way better through traditional art. But the way I'm going now is just through digital using Gimp 2 and drawing by mouse, which is actually not bad for me, and how I think I'm drawing so far. Side not : I saw some of your panels on your comic and it seems really good, like I'ts illustration and art.

[fsarbolaez]

Thanks! I'll be keeping an eye on your comic.
