@p4blowl Hi There! Welcome to Tap & the thread!

Since you didn't post a page, I went through your comic. I like the energy in your line work. Your lettering is inconsistent in a few areas (watch out for Crossbars on the I's being used in the middle of a sentence) and overall balance of your text within the bubbles. Also, I realize that English may not be your first language, so I understand that some things may get lost in translation, but some sentences don't sound natural as it may be in Spanish (maybe have a translator?)

As I said before, I think that the art has great energy, but I feel story wise, it's holding my hand way too much. Everything is explained fast and not left up to the reader to discover-- which is fine if that is the type of story you want to tell (telling, rather than showing, over explaining I guess). Some things are confusing, like the hamster-- while cute-- and obviously Rocio's pet-- she seems a bit distant from it? Little things like that. Overall nice comic. I'm not really getting into a real critique of the comic itself, just some things I notice as a first time reader. Welcome to the thread!

(Almost done with the first chapter!)

@agentfink Seeing as how I'm already a happy subscriber to your series I'm gonna try and avoid commenting on the series as a whole (spoiler: it's awesome) and focus on this page in particular. It's hard for me to find anything that stands out as negative and that I can give constructive criticism on. The flow of dialogue is excellent, you get a sense for the characters just from how they interact and talk with one another and their expressions. The artwork is clean and for me personally inspiring. I find a lo of stuff to improve in my own work when looking at yours. I also love how you manage keep every panel detailed yet free from clutter and distraction And how some use simple backgrounds compared to more detail. I'm dreading and looking forward to the last page of the first chapter (dat rock).

In today's Voidchild, we get to talking about fathers as well as mothers!

Oh! The poor guy! I really enjoyed the dark humor in this comic, and I like the comedial expression on the guy on the 2nd panel.

Here's the latest page from my comic, The Chronicles of SolLuna

@GFalconDX I really like the way your panels are shot. it has great rhythm you've created by alternating close ups and shots from further away. Balanced colors too!

@Damatris nice water color look to the art work and line variation (something i admit i'm bad at)

today's Talesfromswipecity

far too much to explain but always happy for new subs..

My newest page is about a mystic fish. I got the idea just from sitting around. All my comics are just the thoughts i have during the day, and this one is no different. This guy goes on a journey to find the mystic screaming fish, and he finds it. he asks the fish what the meaning of life is, and the fish just screams, as expected. THE ENDS!

I love the structure of the comic, and the watercolor is simple and neat. I wish i could figure out watercolor XC

@marcoalexandroparra I love you color choices! So fun and hilarious! I really like his facial expression! It's gold! XD

Here's the latest from Whetstone:

@jessicasurline THa's a very intense page. And I love the use of dynamic backgrounds and tilted panels as I feel this enhances the intensity. Your characters look solid and there's nothing to add there but nice work. Also, you make drawing cloth look easy. I'm might go study your stuff a bit so I can figure it out.

I'll admit that I'm torn on the method of your coloring. I'm not sure I have the vocabulary to describe it, but it feels a bit "grainy". Zoomed out, I don't even think about it. But when I get closer it catches my eyes. I say torn because on the one hand, it lends itself to a non-traditional style and is probably very subjective.

I'll add in that her expressions are remarkably well done. Another thing I might look at your stuff to copy. =)

The latest page of Voidchild!

Oh man, this has such a cool layout, that's the first thing that hits me about this page! Solid, tight focus on the characters with an increasingly grim sense of foreboding going on. I really admire the angles, too, totally effective segways with the dialogue (that last line against the transference is incredible!). This simplified value scale pushes the mood even further and amps up the blue glow of the character's eyes in the second panel excellently! You've got a terrific sense of establishment and pacing, yo. All respect to your work here!

I would like to share my most recent page from There's No Such Thing as Jason -- I.T.~ Just as Jason curls up at the base of a stop sign in self-existential woe, the owner of the very number he's lost shows up. What luck, right? X]

I've commented on a few of your pages by now but I never get tired of getting the chance to! As usual, it's such a treat to look at and your style still makes me melt. I think of all the pages I've gotten the chance to comment on in this thread, this one is my favorite. It's such cool and unique lighting and I really, really love the mysteriousness of Jason. I'm definitely intrigued! I'd say keep up the awesome work but I already know you will! Can't wait to see more!

Here's the latest City of Blank page, which happens to also be the last page of chapter 3! Onward to chapter 4!

agentfink 2016-05-22 00:20:49 UTC #703

@Riko Okay, I gush over your pages whenever I happen upon them-- giving you crit here and there in regards to how you execute your art--- I'm not gonna do that (but the page is good!) Instead, I am going to gush over the shoes. OMG-- I love the shoes! I have this thing about well drawn shoes! I love the form and line work on men's dress shoes and boots... so your page is border line shoe porn for me! Love the page

The last page for chapter 1. Going on hiatus for a bit!

wow, I must say that is a pretty good page, u have good balance of the light and shadows, nothing much to add, u even have a bird in it,
and now im looking at the page 1 xD aaand suscribed... :v

my latest page is from my comic Roc Vs, this part im doing is like a regular comic, but the normal drawings are simpler but with animations in the middle...

Dingbat1991 2016-05-22 20:00:53 UTC #705

Hard to tell what the story is because it's in the middle of a battle. However, the line-art is nicely detailed and the way you divided your panels also adds a level of dynamism. May I ask what tablet you use?

Here's Lento. This strip is in the concluding phases of the Arts & Crafts story arc.

Kaos_Comics 2016-05-23 06:44:23 UTC #706

LOL that guy has no respect for art...

Today's Juvies for ya!
Sorry, for some reason it's not letting me upload the image here.

TheVoidchildProject 2016-05-23 13:05:20 UTC #707

@Kaos_Comics Your art is always very clean and crisp. It reminds me a lot of "Garfield"-type comic styles. The fact that it is so crisp makes it very easy to get pulled into one of the pages. As for the humor, well it seems appropriately juvenile and what I'd expect from a comic with the name "Juvies".

In yesterdays Voidchild (I couldn't upload either), someone finally mentions the name of the comic!

donathinfrye 2016-05-23 22:03:39 UTC #708

@TheVoidchildProject

You just keep getting better and better with every update. The shading is great here, and you've really made the lack of much color a stronger and stronger aesthetic as the comic continues. The paneling is very effect here, and you've used a nice variety of perspectives, which gives the sense of movement. Since there's not much literal movement in this page, it works to evoke the emotional stirrings rather nicely, if that was your intent. Your lettering is also getting stronger. The last bubble in panel three gets a little messy at the bottom when the text breaks away from its diamond shape, but that's a super minor thing. I really enjoy seeing you continually push yourself ... and it helps that you're building a very compelling story with a very compelling protagonist. Great work.

This week, instead of sharing Atonement, I'd like to share what was a rather tricky page from I, Necromancer! So that's what I've done above. : )

GFalconDX 2016-05-29 14:34:47 UTC #709

Really like the dark mood of the comic. It really sets the tone for your story.

Here's the latest page from my comic.

TheVoidchildProject 2016-05-29 14:46:27 UTC #710

@GFalconDX I really like your coloring/shading and making use of the panel layout (the over/under style) makes the page more dynamic yet stil symmetric. Big compliments on your hands. I hate drawing hands! But you've made it look easy. Not sure what's going on in the page exactly. It looks like she's about to drop something onto a street from high above, but I'm not sure. Either way, well done. =)

In today's Voidchild, Mary gets an offer she can't refuse or I guess has to think about or something.
