Title: Please check out my short Web-Comic
Post by: Dodsy on 05 October, 2010, 12:54:37 PM
Hi people,

This seems like a good a place as any to make this topic.
Me and a friend have been working together on this little story (me writing and him drawing/ lettering). We've finally decided to put it online so Ifigured I'd post the link so you will all hopfully check it out and let us know what you think (good or bad).

The plot is like so:

Harry Fox is a detective. Famous for some of the cases he's solved; he's a minor celebrity. However every night he is kept awake with a mystery he will probably never know the answer to; how will he die?

and the link is here:

Hope you all enjoy.

Nice work dodsy - and I like the noir-styled artwork especially. Thanks for posting this.

I enjoyed that. Art style suited the tale spot on and despite the cast not being especially large I still didn't see the killer coming. I'd definitely be up for more of your stuff.

Slight niggle (sorry, but you did say good and bad, I don't think lettering is your mates strong suit. Some stuff early on I put down to the noir style but towards the end a couple of gaffes kinda pulled me out. His art was good though, and suited  the story, as I say.

Sorry, but I found it very wooden, a bit like wading through treacle. The fact she shot him just doesn't gel at all - "oooh... I'm so frustrated I'm going to kill you myself!".

To me, the art looks half finished, but I'm no great art critic and I understand that it is your style.

Just being honest, not nasty for the sake of it.
