Africa page C:
Aaand Mosi. You're way too lucky.
As many of you have guessed, Mosi gets bitched by Mom a little. But hey, if your son threw himself from a 50 ft tall building, and miraculously survived, after making sure he's fine what would be the next thing you'd tell him?
That he's utterly insane of course C:
Also, doesn't the last panel look familiar? Where have I seen the same scene before? 
I kinda like, kinda hate the layout of this page, I wanted to represent Mosi falling from a certain height, but to do that, I practically had to split the page in two, and I feel that this interferes with the reading flow. What do you think?
Anyway, enjoy this page.
Coloured Pencils on A4 Paper.
Several hours.
Characters and art (c)
I want to improve, I greatly appreciate feedback and constructive criticism regarding anatomy, page flow and overall composition. Thank you!

I think the vision of this page and about all the comic it's pretty good.The originality i gave 3 stars because we know that this happens in the leopards world,but by the way,it's the same time interessing. In the technique,what can i just say.IT'S TOTALLY IMPRESSIVE!It's way to much good the way you color it,and make so such wounderful pages with color pencils in a paper...One word : Impressive.About the impact,i gave you All stars because when something happens with the caracthers,we all pray for his safety,and get sad and mad when something not good happens to him or them.I think you made a great work making this comic,and i think this is going to get far,and one day,maybe we found the Africa Comic to buy in a shop.How i just said,one word : Impressive e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Hello everybody!
Once again, here I am for a critique on this new page of the wonderful Africa series!
This issue looks very dinamic and overall meant a distention for all us who were guessing a gruesome painful death for little Mosi...I couldn't be happier than my pronostics for him were wrong!
I will, as always, disect this page frame by frame:
First frame: We have a long side-pannel here, showing just how long Mosi's fall is...He seems to have bounced against each branch the trees had to offer...that had to hurt!
The warmer tones of the closeup trees and the cool colors of the ones to the background give the whole pannel a sense of dimensionality that helps a lot into conveying this world exiosts within a deep space and not only in a 2-D piece of paper! Well done!
Second frame: Here we see Africa in a very cinematic-like approach; like a traveling cam, we follow her from close behind as she leaps forth through the undergrowth to seek for her fallen son. Her face shows great concern and the way her muscles are tense beneath her skin shows up how much stres this situation ios putting her through. We do, as much as her, hope her child is alright.
Third frame: RELIEF! Mosi is okay. The little one rolls on his back in this precious littlñe frame, as we see as his expression indicates, that he suffered no harm at all.
Leaves still fall around him knocked off by his fall, and some broken pieces of branchs lay nearby. A nice detail that gives the scene more dynamism as well as a realistic touch!
Fourth and last frame: Now ASfrica has turned from worry to anger: she sermons her cub and, judging by her furious look, Mosi should not reply to her retorts. She has rights indeed to be mad, although she could have given both their cubs simmilar attention so to avoid this sort of things happening...
Anyways, concerning the image itself, Africa's raging gestures, Mosi's terrified and cowering look, as his hairs fluff in distress, and even Binti's sad looks to the behind are masterfully drawn. EXCELLENT EXPRESIVENESS HERE!
So...that is all for now, but soon I will be here for a new critique.
Stay tuned! ^^

I'm striken by those traits of your works: perspective, choice of colors and shots!
Tough, but a good one!
But she sadly didn't...she could skin him for this scare he gave her!
You earn them every time my friend! Keep up the good work! ^^

Me encanto. Esta serie me gusta mucho!
El diseño de los personajes esta muy bien logrado! Se da a entender muy bien las expresiones de los personajes. Los detalles también están perfectos.
El escenario esta muy bien diseñado en cada uno de sus cuadros.
Los cuadros de dialogo están muy bien posicionados sin quitar mucho terreno de los dibujos y sin ser demasiado pequeños.
Los colores son asombrosos en todos los personajes.
Se podría mejorar los efectos de volumen pero la verdad es que esta todo perfecto!
Es una gran obra que demuestra las grandes habilidades del artista que la creo. Muy bien echo!! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Hey! I have read and digested every mm of every page of this comic. It is such a beautiful comic and so well designed. For the vision and originality I have to give it a 5 and 4 1/2 stars. It is so original and it has a good vision, seriously this comic can go far, If this was available in the shops I would buy it. for technique, it is a easy 5 stars. Your traditional work is astounding, and the anatomy is also. For impact I only had three stars, it does not have a massive impact so far as the story is more about the life of a leopard it does cover some of the true leopard behaviour. How giza made africa survive on her own after a while etc.
Thank you for making this I love it!

this is a truly special and funny piece. mama leopard was quite angry! I give it 4 stars for vision, because i have never seen anything like it. Originality is 4.5 stars, because it is a traditional mother's worry idea. Technique gets 5 stars because it is beautiful and truly amazing. And finally, impact gets 4 stars, because this will certainly stay with people for a long time. I was fairly impressed and this is something to be very proud of. Keep drawing and maybe one of these days you could be a professional artist and earn tons of money!

Can't really blame Africa for being harsh with Mosi. What the latter did is kinda equivalent of doing a cannonball in the more shallow end of a pool...as hilarious as his expression was, it could easily have taken a darker turn had that bush not been there.
But I digress; well done as always.

Mosi’s face on the last panel is priceless, although id probably look the same way if my mom scolded me like that xD good work

dunno why every1 has a bone to pick with Mosi's prepubescent genitals. it's like they've never seen balls before! grow up, people! it's part of the anatomy! this isn't Disney XD

That's one criticism about this comic.
If my mother would treat me like this whenever I fell from something high, I would rather recoil and stand in the corner weeping.
Africa looks like she abusing her own children rather than giving them a lesson.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for your criticism, and sorry if it came across this way
What I meant to portray here is that Mosi did not take this dangerous situation seriously, and just laughed it off instead.
What Mom is trying to teach him is to distinguish "game" from "threat", an ability which is crucial in the wild, hence why Africa comes off as angry.

Ikr everyone wants to kill Mosi's balls è_é
