So the review went great and I’m so pumped about comics that I lost all motivation to finish my homework orz
I showed the editor the first 24 pages of Roomie as well as this thing and this other thing.
According to him:
Things I’m doing well:
- Clean linework, especially in Cursed. I think he really liked the clean and refined look of it.
- Solid page layouts, always a good thing
- Some of the characters looked really round and three dimensional, mostly Leo and Winn from Cursed
- My hand lettering is good (except as of now I never hand letter my personal projects so I guess that’s not so relevant)
Things I need to work on:
- Things can get too wordy, especially in the cancer comic and Cursed (which kinda makes sense because the former has a lot of narration and the latter has the walking-word-vomit-character Archenhaud in it).
- Cursed was a little too monotone as far as overall shades of gray, which I noticed upon printing it and totally agree.
- Apparently I need a more unique style? Or need to get more comfortable in my own style. Or something. I think the point was to be mindful of setting myself apart from other indie creators.
- Some other characters didn’t hold up as well to looking three dimensional, particularly Mary and Arch from Cursed (something about tall angular faces???)
But most importantly my work is in a good place and I’m ready to start frequenting conventions and selling my stuff. In other words my work is starting to be on a professional level :’D
Soooo…
Time to figure out how to print and assemble minicomics.
