dude, I'm totally honored. I used get really pissed when I post stuff here. There's no color, no big shapes, so it gets no play from the community. It's almost like they wanna avoid what they can't ever do......tell stories. Pinups are easy, there's always little to no story involved, plus it'll get you notice quicker. But learning how to tell a story takes years and years to get.

Anyway, that wound is still fresh. Glad you like it yo, thank you very much. You aint seen nothin yet

what kind of feedback are you getting from the artists and editors? are the critiques helpful?

sorry for the late reply...umm..not so good critiques. Jim (lee) loved them, but they never got back to me. At this stage, you really don't get too many helpful critiques from editors. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever got a good critque from an editor, LOL;} at least not to my face. I've gotten a good letter from Marvel before, but that was it.
I'm good friends with Keron Grant (kerongrant.net), and Sanford Greene, as well as a couple other pros. Those guys give the best critiques. They give it to you straight. They don't hold punches. They've helped a lot. Both of the brothers also draw. Chris (Kweli.deviantart.com), my younger brother is also really tough on me, that helps.
and now, I've embarrased myself by talking too much! sorry.

Don't worry about rambling on, this is interesting stuff. I didn't realize 'Kweli' was your brother, I watch his deviant account too ~ that's cool you guys can motivate and critique one another. I actually talked one of my professors into doing an independent study class with me that involved comic book/graphic novel art but he really didn't know very much about the medium. In a way, it was good because he could simply critique my technique and the clarity of my panels ~ and being a non comic book reader, his perspective was pretty raw and honest. In any case, don't ever quit drawing, you have a lot of talent.

thanks for the advice, I've been drawing for a little while (about 20 years now!), I don't think I'm gonna stop any time soon;} As for school, that was the best thing you could've ever done. It's always good to get some outside critics. My wife and mother are the best at it. They'll look at my page, and see what's wrong with it, and it only takes them about 2 seconds to spot it! so, good job.

i know what you mean, i'm in my 30s and my wife is one of my biggest fans and is my best critic... sometimes i think our best chances for publication are actually to be SELF published and THEN picked up... really, i'm much more interested in telling the stories i want to tell, rather than have the publisher or editor dictate my diversions... this is why i am getting my degree, so that i can take a firmer control over my destiny in graphic noveling... it's not essential, of course, but for me, it helps me to be and become a better artist... anyway, it is encouraging to see guys like you on the same path, and that's what i really mean when i say keep it up... have a happy holiday jus and keep in touch!

Dood, thank you very much. I was thinking the same thing myself. But oh well, all in the Lord's timing I guess.
