We all have to start with something and noone is born a master. Maybe find something beyond MSpaint.
A good story can make up for not so good art (although, the big figures presented in spoilers already look nice enough for me). When in doubt show less background and more PCs (e.g. Anti-Heroes has very plain backgrounds but is excellent nontheless)

It's always good to see Eberron stuff

A few critiques on the revised first comic:
When resizing text, hold the Ctrl key to make sure it stays in proportion, otherwise the text looks strangely flat or thin. This was sorted out in the second comic as I wrote this message
Also, I'd reccomend not using the .jpg format for your work, or if you do, reducing the level of compression. The compression artifacts really harm the comic as it is now - .jpg generally isn't good for OOTS-style work. I reccomend using the .png format, or .gif (which is what the Giant uses).
Finally, I'd modify the size and proportions of the eyes somewhat, to make them a bit more like the OOTS eyes. Simply making them thinner would work.

The writing is excellent, though. Indeed, good work all-round
Bryn is online now

Thanks... i noticed that the eyes don't look right :D will fix in future comics. And I use .JPG for space-related issues.. I'll try .PNG hope to get better results..

Can always use some constructive criticism :) Thanks

Just so you know, I'm pretty sure that banner doesn't fit in with the forum rules. A banner can't be over 120 pixels in height.

Just a note: Failing Saves' banner is over 120 pixels in height...

You could always put the banner in a spoiler.

I had a look at comic #3 and just wanted to say that the art is getting better, keep it up and get some more done

Does every protagonist get a brief two strip intro, I wonder?
