Like I said, 2 pages this week, the other will be up on Wednesday. And it's a much better page than this one. The people in the crowd (the ones staring at her) are from old stories I tried to write. Starting at the left, we have Alexander York (from Death Detectives) Nemo and Dom (Behind the two front talkers) from SSDD, The curls haired girl is a random, then Annabell William (from Death Detectives), Yuki (an old version of me) and Eric Williams (from Death Detectives)
So I have a weird question for you all, do you guys think I have an original style? or do you like it? Some people I know kinda tore me apart on my style, saying it was boring and unoriginal. Also I'm planning on starting a one shot (15-20 pages) and I wanted to know what kind you wanted to see, Horror, Drama, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, if you are at all interested in seeing a one shot. I wouldn't really have it posted anywhere until December because I might get a tablet and I'll save my markers by computer inking. So, let me know what you think.

People who make comments like that about your work are just best ignored. I've always loved your style; if I were to line it up against images from other comics that I read I'd easily be able to tell the difference. Don't let them get you down :) And yay! Princess is here!

"Boring and unoriginal" in this case most likely just means "I don't like the manga influences". Do strive to be yourself, but pretty much what DAJB said. It does help to look widely for influences from what I've been told by some of the best artists I know. Expose yourself to a lot of stuff. But Japanese comics are a perfectly fine thing to be influenced by.

My advice would be to ignore comments like "boring and unoriginal". Very few people have a style which is especially original. Most manga conforms to one style. Most western mainstream comics conform to another. By all means put as much of yourself into your style as you can, but what matters most is that the style suits the story. And, in your case, I'd say it does. Keep at it!
