Tag As FavoriteComment		Page 20 of my comic, 'Steampowered'. This is before I moved to the standard comic book page size.

The webcomic, wich contains all the word ballons, narration boxes, and whatnot that are missing from this is located at http://steampowered.net.

Also, I have recently been playing around with a much better way of handling word balloons, and plan to go back and redo all of the word balloons on the finished pages as well as correcting all of the typos.

Monty Python! Yay!
You really know how to show expression! Though, it would help if you used captions.

Doesn't seem very linear.

Well, I have to say that you have a stylized art style and that you are well developed in that. I only see that you should consider with composition of the cells, or frames. It seems uninteresting as the way their layed out, and a bit undynamic to intrigue the viewer into the action. I would try to layout a dozen or so different sets for each page and then step back and try to see which one would catch and interest the eye the most. It most important to remember that no matter how good of an artist a person is, its all based in the foundation of presentation and composition. Keep up the good work. -Oob

:-) Christopher J. Snowdon replies: "Thank you very much for the compliments, and I quite agree with your comments on the page layouts, however I am unwilling to spend too much time per page on this specific project for the same reasons that one would notice my colouring and illustration work is not nearly so strong as in my single illustration work. Being a weekly webcomic, I'm on a set schedule for updating pages, once a week, every Saturday. I am determined to be late as little as possible. I also work a full time job, and maintain a fairly active social life. I see this comic as a weekly drawing and Photoshop excersize, geared towards keeping me active art-wise, and generally making my pages better in as little time as possible. Now, if this project were much smaller in scope, with more time, then I would definitely put that time to use on the composition of the pages. I do agree that I need to work on that aspect of my sequential work, and I do have several shorter comic projects in mind wich I plan to spend more time on both the artwork and the composition."

I like the style... the colors.. the black between the images But the only thing I would add is the text so we could get a better feeling of the picture itself.

I must be missing something here, 'cos it doesn't remind me of Monty Python at all...as in no way..
But it's aa excellent style! Like it a lot, congrat's for the mods! ^^
*off to see the rest of your gallery* =P

Nice job . Glad to see someone else likes doing narrative works. Good luck with the webcomic. Have been interested in doing one since I saw what the people who did broken Saints created (Brokensaints.com). I highly recommend checking out their site. By the way your style reminds me of the animation from wings of Honemaise (hope i spelled that right)

...Is that the Skool backgruond from Invader Zim?

:-) Christopher J. Snowdon replies: "Actually, it's the School background from Steampowered."
