Mister Kent: The shading on the latest Blood Groove looks much more defined, it's really helped your art out. Can I make a shading suggestion though? When you've done your flat colors, duplicate that layer and set it's opacity to 25% and draw on the 25% layer with a dark black or purple hard-edged brush. You could also shade using darver variations of the underlaying color (dark green for green, brown for skin, etc). I like how you draw the ladies in Lady Doom.

I always like the clean lineart of your pages, and that feel of the panels being stills from an animated feature. I also liked the dialogue. Quite flowing :) Excellent work.

Forgot to say that Wolf updated a couple of days ago with the Chapter 7 cover, which is always pencilwork. It's Zoe in a rare moment, so why don't y'all go have a look? ;)

Wolf: One of he best chapter covers I've seen in a long time! It's scketchy but detailed(I love stuff like this), it's strong enough to draw a first-time reader's attention and it makes people look back at the archives. I'm eager to get internet back in my home, so I can read the whole thing!
This time, both Telenime and Freakenburg are updated.
In Telenime, Raditz gets the hell out of the lake, leaving Katty the Cecaelia's reach. Kin enjoys Fischer's practical joke.
In Freakenburg, mariko had enough of Kasumi's nasty behavior and feels like kicking the drunk out of her place.
I'd also like to draw some attentrion for my friend's comic (I'm the one who drawing the thing), it's called MONSTERS. I've read the written version and it made me go nuts for a while. One of the best sci-fi stories ever in my opinion! It was updated a few minutes ago…

I range from loving the freshness of A-list's art to disliking the tackiness of it. If you could slowly improve the overall art without losing the wonderful sketchiness of it, that'd be awesome.

Some comics just like to throw out random Star Wars quotes (for example, "A wretched hive of scum and villainy" ) as if that's somehow funny. Other comics, like the latest Epic Adventures strip, also lift random Star Wars quotes (like: "A wretched hive of scum and villainy", for example) but then build on them towards a punchline which actually is funny …
Shame I can't tell you what it is really. But, if I did, you wouldn't find it funny any more. You probably need to go and read it for yourself. Punchlines are like that …!
**************************
No punchlines in today's update to Shades, though. Just a couple of disgruntled old super heroes and a guy who knows something they don't … Well, he is a tailor.
People tell their tailors all sorts. No, they do! They're like hairdressers in that respect … Must be something to do with not being able to keep secrets from people wielding scissors.

@ DAJB and Shades, out of all the pages you have written through out Shades, I find this page to be the most well written and insightful. Stanley is perfect to set it straight for these set in their ways old superheroes. the scene is also very symbolic for things as they are in are world on a macro and micro scale. The young running seeing the need to do something but lacking the wisdom to make the right choices while the old are filled with knowledge and wisdom too lazy or too set in their ways to move. stellar work!

At first I was like, “Oh, that's one bad mother.” Then, as I finished reading the page, my thoughts realigned into something like “ohohoh~ I see what she did there.”
Somewhere in SF updates with a revelation. Also, I fucked up on the first panel. :/

First time I've visited RYU'S KEEP. Interesting, expressive work. I'd LOVE to see it in color, especially VG-Cats type color–you might consider it…
But then, I'm a junkie for color.
At the CROSSOVERLORD At http://www.drunkduck.com/Crossoverlord/index.php?p=395218, we're also going through a prologue of sort—the gathering of some of the different webcomics characters in this “team” book. In this one a page I actually drew over a year ago finally sees the light of day…odd to note how my art style's changed…and features my character, Mindmistress, for the first time, meeting a character who will turn out to be VERY important–and being “reminded” of some old antagonists.
All this, plus namedropping-vague-enough-to-not-be-sued-by for the discriminating reader. And despite his problem with the zombiezerse, Ult-Reed is not above the occasional game of cross-continuum chess…

A-List has some nice shading. There is generally a good portrayal of action scenes. I think the girl in the panel that is duplicated should have a more frightened or upset expression. She looks too calm for the situation. Otherwise, great shading and good use of paneling for action.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I finally updated Ethereal and its in full colour. Please come see if my cg skills and background drawings are not so bad :) Drawing wheelchairs are hard.

The wheelchair looks good, also, I gotta say that teddy bear is looking directly at the reader. Not sure if that's intentional, but it adds this extra dimension to the page, a dimension of sadness brought on the plain sight of it. My only problem with the page is the photo background in the first panel. I dunno, it's just a pet peeve of mine, I dislike seeing real life photos used as backgrounds in comics.
Otherwise, great page. =)
Somewhere in SF updates with Magicaaaaaaaaaaal Coat~, which, in reality, has nothing to do with magical coats whatsoever. It does feature more 100% more debasing of main characters though. That's always good.

Ethereal is a really well-done story about a subject that isn't always easy to talk about. Harder still to try and do a story about without coming off as pretentious or preachy. allanah has done a wonderful job of making a very interesting story out of a very touchy subject.
My comic, The Path, updated today. If you've never read it before, it mixes Lovecraft with mythology and folklore with a dash of the King Arthur legend.
Edit: Looks like Terminal posted as I was typing/reading Ethereal. SF is fantastic. Everyone knows this. I don't know what I could say about Terminal's amazing work that hasn't been said (and better than I would) already. If you're not reading it already, you really should.

Crossing Death has a pretty interesting art style. I was actually rather impressed with the simplicity of the design on the character faces that in many of the strips still convey active emotion really well. I'm re-reading the storyline again to get a better grip on some of the details, so I don't yet have an opinion on that aspect as of yet.
In Pagan Zoetrope, someone gets a foot to the face.
