Hi,
No it isn't

Cool Danbo, I like it

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it.

I can see lots of good advice on how to improve. The photo reference stuff certainly is too obvious, I think I've always been influenced by 2000 AD artists like David Roach, Arthur Ransom, Glen Fabry etc who have a realistic style (not that I'm anywhere near as good as them!) but it's something I need to work on.

I also definitely need to work on being less static and storytelling. (BTW: the confusing diamond panel is meant to be just a blank panel in the script where the characters are transported to the alternate dimension, but I should have made all black as it just looks empty as a "white flash")

Thanks everyone

Hi, I've got an Epson A4 scanner that works pretty well. I can imagine A3 would be really useful but if budget is an issue you can use an A4 scanner to scan bigger work. I usually draw on A3 but scan it in two halves, they halves overlap slightly. Then I combine them in PhotoShop etc. as two layers, blending out the overlap. Usually the finished scan looks fine.

Really cool. I especially like the shark

Hi, Some great work already posted.  Here's my latest inspired by Dune:

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. It was Sylvester McCoy, I used him for the priest throughout but only one panel ended up looking like him :-) The photo reference comment certainly does identify one of my major shortcomings.
