Question Re: The ShadowStone Gang

Alright, I've decided that a second post should have bios, whereas the first should have the actual comics, to prevent too much length.

so:

Warning! Image Intensive!

Okay let'S start with the art:
I think a little more variety in the expressions would be useful, also if you just moved the eyes of each character a little more in the direction they are facing it would stop looking like they are constantly staring at the viewer.

And last but not least the bad guy's tattoo is absolutely out of place.


As for storytelling: It would improve if the characters were talking a little more. Something that makes you realize why they are walking around and where they are going or even just some small-talk that let's you get to know them better.

Here's a little honest criticism:

In my opinion, this comic has nothing that sets it apart from the thousand OotS clones in the fan comic subforum. A story about a bunch of guys killing things in a D&D game world is something that is absolutely overdone. What I suggest to you is invent a decent plot and try, minimise the D&D references and make the character something other than race and class.

Haha, Noted. I do have a very large plot ready, but even for the first 30-or-so strips of OoTS, they didn't have much Character, and NO plot. But, yeah, Comic 4 will add a bit of mystery to the strip.

But they were original way back then, that's the difference.

point. Sell, I'm still working. So, It'll be a bit faster. I was looking back at Failing Saves. They didn't really have very much plot either, Although they did have more. Well, just be patient.
