Ok so lately I have been thinking about wanting to make a comic book …
that led me to attempting to make the absolute best art I possibly could regardless of how long it takes to finish a page . I think I'll do this as a web comic too. This is the first attempt at doing it really right and I wanted to get opinions on it so let me know what you think , btw this page took about four times as long as my usual pages do but I kinda surprised myself in the fact that it actually came out like I pictured it in my head.

Thanks , I really did this as a sort of exercise in technique , it is one of my older comic ideas though . I am working out a sort of system for getting the look and result I want . Not over realistic mind you but better and more consistent than what i have been doing, that's why you might have noticed my experimentation lately. This is done on mixed media paper instead of watercolor paper and I used a new type of pen , watercolors , and sort of knocked it up a notch with colored pencils at the end. I feel like this is what I am striving toward. I was happy with it so I wanted to share it with others to get their opinions .@ El Cid appreciate the honest constructive criticism - that's how I'll get better!😀

Really eye-grabbing, love the colors and semi-toon look of the wasp-waisted swashbuckler. Critiques: For a cover, could probably use more detail with the hashing/textures, like the dragon's scales and the stitching on Sword Guy's pants. Overall it looks fantastic, though.

Very nice advert illustration :D! Good luck with this potential new comic project also if you plan on do it :3.

Thank you , I am going to keep going with star knights for sure , but I am going to up the standard there as well , I might wait till the next chapter to go all out like this one though.

Really nice work! I'm still trying to find that tough balance myself: perfect art and long delays between updates, or lots of updates and art that feels rushed. Personally, I hope you continue with star knights. I think the premise of that comic is really unique.
