The MisAdventures of Winston (webcomic)

[Blitz55]

@crispalomino Oh good, yeah this is just a little thing and it could just be me. It's more of an idea than a critique but something about the word bubbles seems to really fight my eye for attention over the images themselves. Of course you want your eye to go to the word bubbles. But I can't help but wonder if the bold line that makes them might be a bit better suited if it was thinner, or maybe if they were actually hand drawn as to not be so perfect in their form and shape and sort of blend in with the more organic nature of your drawings.

Anyway, just a thought, I don't have a lot of experience with word bubbles or graphic novels, etc. So take this with a wooden barrel of salt, haha. Just something that caught my attention.

[crispalomino]

@Blitz55 Actually I have been thinking the same thing. So yes, will be changing it. I hope to put the stories into a book at some point so will go back and change these first ones as well. Thank you for the feedback.

[Blitz55]

@crispalomino Oh interesting, okay, I look forward to seeing how you work that out then.

@crispalomino I Love this!! I love Frenchies. I want a whole room of Frenchie puppies. This webcomic is adorable

[crispalomino]

@ArtistErin thank you. I love Frenchies, too.

This is the real Winston. He lives with my friend, Keith, in the UK.

[ArtistErin]

@crispalomino OH the coat! And his intelligent eyes! LOL SOOOO cute. They are seriously the funniest breed I think. Super intelligent, tenacious and spunky. And his name! Couldn't be a better name. My sister has a friend who has a Frenchie, his name is The Sheriff. And he acts like a Sheriff! HA HA HA

@crispalomino excellent work, Cris! I just started following your IG

[crispalomino]

@ArtistErin The Sheriff. That’s a great name, heh!

[crispalomino]

@Erichousel thank you, much appreciated!

Getting ready to paint this week’s Winston comic. @Blitz55, I remembered that Clip Studio Paint was good for comics and used it to do this week’s balloons. I think it works better. More control than what I was trying to use.

[Blitz55]

@crispalomino Yeah! I think that looks quite a bit better. Also, I really dig your linework, great stuff. I gave you a follow over on Instagram, I was enjoying your little dragon, especially as he trains against a marshmallow solder.

[crispalomino]

@Blitz55 thanks! I really appreciate the support! Yeah I’d love to do more dragons but between the strip and tax season, I’m hard pressed atm. But I love dragons and will do more.
