        Steve, Alberto thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it, Steve I steered away from what I was originally going to do and I think I will go back to that, thanks that was very helpful.

        Alberto, thank you for the suggestion, I do my comics in watercolour, so I do my inking on watercolor paper. It works out for me, but I agree, if I were scanning and coloring digitally I would use a different paper!

                      Very nice work, has an "old timey" feel!

                        Thanks, I feel like I could really work on my painting skills, they never turn out how I want them to.

                          Yes...terrific! Your color choices and handling of the media are well done.

                            If I were to add one point of critique is was for me the crossbow in the first panel. I couldn't really tell what the character was holding at first. The bow seemed to get lost in the figure/clothing. In the second panel it is much clearer that the character is holding a weapon which clued me in to the fact that there was the crossbow in the first panel.

                            The dog is very well done!

                              Love the traditional medium and texture. I would suggest cleaning up the gutters and making them pure white. As is, it's hard to read the panels as 3 separate images.

                                Rob, do you think I need to tweak the value on the crossbow? would that help it stand out more?

                                Shannon, Thanks I see that now I will make those a little more defined in photoshop!

                                Thanks for your feed back very helpful!

                                  This looks so awesome! I would read this whole comic, you do beautiful work. One tiny thing--I don't quite see one of the eyes of the character in the first panel, and that may be why the gaze seems to be going off to the right rather than at what is being pointed at. I'm not sure if that was intentional, I just thought I'd point it out.

                                    Ooh, nice! Love the style. Could there be a bit more variation in the clothing and dogs? I think for the person farthest away, the blue would be lighter.

                                          Really great work, I thing digital retouching could really add a bit of polish to your images.

                                          Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

                                            I think the value of the cross bow arms and the characters hood are so close that I'm losing them. Take for example your second image (which is very well done!) the crossbow arms really stand out against the dark value of the green trees. Great work!
