Description
Firstly - SORRY FOR THE UNGODLY FILE SIZE. This was designed for "book format" and I didn't want to upload each of these seperately. I might break it up into two pieces if there are complaints.From the last semester. Hate it now. Except for a few panels. Might do over.

I think this is pretty great. But I totally understand the self-criticism thing; it's easier for the artist to find the 'flaws' (usually little more than a line that is out of place, but otherwise unidentifiable) than for the reader. Nevertheless, I quite liked this.

That'd be cool. You gonna get it printed?

I'd like to but since I haven't started drawing it yet - it's a little soon to think about that.

Concept is beautiful, it has warmth and it's very authentic. Very likable!

I feel like this every time I come to Richmond, too.

Yeah. :/ Frustrating. How is school going?

It's going okay, I'm pretty stressed out. @w@ How are you?

Much better since I'm graduated and away from the stress of college.

Oh man, I can't wait to graduate, myself; I'm so envious of how you guys are out in the 'real world', doing real world things... Does that even make sense?

Yes I get you but the job market is pretty crap right now so it's not Alice and Wonderland out here. It's more like "Oh thank god I don't have any assignments to turn in but boy I wish I had something else to eat besides Ramen noodles and a label-less mystery can from the bargin bin at Save-a-lot."

Yeah, that's true; I hope that soonish the economy and job market starts to turn around...
Beware the mystery can! XD (It might give you magical powers.)

oh noes!
it's an adorable fable, if a rather abrupt ending. you should be proud of it.

This amazing! Very very cool. Well done, I love the colors.

:3 Thanks. I feel like I do digital too much and really like the result of watercolors but digital is just so easy!

Oh, also, the last panel puts me in mind of Quentin Blake, who`s illustrations I have loved since I was a little boy.

And I looked up Quentin Blake. His art looks very familiar but I don't know why that is. I can't remember reading anything he's done. I did find this ----> [link] on his website which was really cool and a mood booster. Thanks for alerting me to him!

Blake was one of the people who really turned me on to creativity. I was raised on the Roald Dahl books and I honestly can't say if I was a bigger fan of the art or the words.

What a perfect metaphor. I was a country boy and ended up in a tin can washed down the drain too.
But the good news is, you can find magical things in the sewers and they will return you to giant size and send you back out to the country.
The artwork, I think, adds something for it's water-colour imperfections. Far too many stories are told in big bright Technicolor these days and sometimes that works, but sometimes you just want simple colours and innocence.

I still love the idea of this. Your dad making giant eggs and bacon is still my favorite panel XD

I shall re-make it with the better ending I think you suggested.

I'd like to think of this as such:
Your old trash, is my new treasure!
The first three images are my favorites. Damn ear owls! So annoyingly cute.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol Thanks. The proffessor I was doing this assingment for kept harping on me about why I was drawing the owls and what was their significance and I finally had to tell him "I just want to draw owls damnit!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not everything has meaning. 'Just because' is good enough!
She's in the forest, owls live there too.

I like it! The art's not up to your current standard, but I love the idea. It also scares me slightly, because I'm goin' off to college in a year, myself. I've actually been looking into VCU, coincidentally.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Ah and PS: If you have any questions about VCU I'd be glad to answer them or link you to some other people on Devintart who did. There was ALOT of stuff I wish someone had told me before I went.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! If any occur to me, I'll definitely ask.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Well my issue was more urban vs. rural than anything to do with VCU. When I got to Richmond I was like "Okay. I've gotten on to this public bus but I don't know how to get off of it."

Gah, that sounds terrifying.
