Yeah this one got a little too James Jean in terms of style. Thats something that I've been slowly getting away from in my work. Dave Curd pointed out something interesting awhile back that it seemed like I was working on the frosting rather then the cake. So in taking with Dave's advice I've gradually been working in the direction of a more realistic look rather then the stylized approach. Trying to iron out all the kinks by sketching a lot, so I can eventually become my own voice.

Hi there!
Yeah, although I favourited that one from all your gallery, I agree with Briteshine, the white HELP letters don't seem to be quite right! I dig the graphic stuff you put on your images, like the lighting clouds on that one or the exclamation on the Superman!
Haven't got the solution though...I'll keep analizing & watching!
Bytheway, your colour palette it's premium!
Cheers!

Not sure if I've mentioned this on some of your other images, but your drawing style is very reminiscent of James Jean, one of my inspirations, so naturally I love your works. This is very well done.

Well, I can't say it's not obvious, but it's certainly not a bad thing. It could be in time, however, if you don't experiment. To mimic such talent, intentional or not, requires serious skills in the first place, so you've got those. Your work is great!

ha yeah, this piece is just a weird taste thing. I'm still trying to figure out how to effectively use text within an illustration.
Kind of weird my teacher kept saying how the (white HELP) looked like a hotel sign and that he hated that and liked the red little helps. I was just all wtf a hotel sign?

The thing I was always told by teachers when considering type is that hand-written text almost always looks out of place unless it's really well considered. Typography's a tricky one though :/ I was lucky enough to live with a type-obsessed graphics student, so I always asked her advice XD

Very formalist sequential art. I'd love to see the other two parts, because this one's gorgeous.

oohh man, wonderful!
love it, although i hope you dont mind me saying but i'd say the words are little harsh on the image,
the words clash with the subtlety of the faces and the hair.
I should'nt really crit, your work is too crazy awesome. Ack i hope i'm not being disrespectful.

haha, Rob you should always give crits man, i hope no one would ever take them as disrespect. But yeah i hear what your saying man. This piece kind of just comes down to bizzarre taste issues. My teacher complained about the white HELP but loved the red ones. haha oh well.
