Tried something different here. I started pretty slowly but I got too cocky and picked up speed. As a result, I feel that it looks rushed. Not particularly proud and I definitely fudged the lettering because I wanted to finish it quickly.
Oh well, I'll most likely be hand drawing this comic from here on out. It's a lot more fun for me than digital art and I'm more comfortable with it.

I went through the small archive and I must say. This is a wonderful comic. The art is really nice with beautiful coloring and your style is pretty cool. The story is one of the best I've read on DD. You had too many thought into it and it's really great. Every page was great developing your characters beautifully. I hope you could update more and we all enjoy your great comic... I'me faving this and I'll be reading every now and then.

I'm really happy I found this comic. Again. Yup, It was one of the first things I found on DD, a while ago, but somehow lost track of it later, and now I found it again when I saw your post in the compliment thread (I'm the A Bit Cheesy guy). Anyway... I sat down and read the comic from beginning to end - and it does seem like a long story already, at just over a dozen pages. Which is good. I love the story - a concept of self-aware RPG game characters. This reminds me of an old CGI animated series "Reboot" (which also had an RPG-esque episode). What I really like is how you manage to include some serious thought about destiny and predestination, and make Gurn rebel against the rules and the system - in his own, non-violent way. Gurn himself is a really likeable character. Also, he's something fresh compared to, say, Shrek. I still hear Gurn talking in a Mike Myers' voice in my head, but he's different. Shrek is what he is: an ogre, inside and outside. Gurn is a dreamer, sort of an idealist, trapped inside an unsigtly physical form - a form he tries to fit into, sometimes (e.g. when he takes on the role of a monster in trying to scare Marie). I like the artwork in this comic, especially the character design and the colors. It's great how you caught the essence of what gurn is. He looks like a monster, overall - except the eyes, which show his true inner self. And as much as you hate digital coloring, you were doing a marvelous job there, so it's a pity you gave up on that. I'm the opposite here, it seems - the "sheet of paper and pencil" stage is always the most awkward for me. Anyway, hope that since you switched to the simplier method, you'll update more often. I'm faving this :) And if you feel like checking A Bit Cheesy sometimes, there's a new page, posted last Sunday, and it updates every two weeks. P.S. I'll be leaving some comments on some of the previous pages that are my favorite.

oil pastels? Nice stuff. I hate drawing with traditional medium (cuz I suck at it... lol)

Yeah for hand drawing! I mean--digtal art looks so polished and shiny and purty like...but there is just something about coloring/shading by hand. I don't know--I can almost always tell when something's done digitally somehow, no matter how traditional someone tries to make it look.

It is more fun, I am about to try markers myself and see how it goes.
