Description Pencil, gel pen, marker


My first ever comic! ^_^ It was inspired by a conversation I had with `RadicalPuppy4 about the Christian bookshop in the high street putting up a job vacancy sign

I know that there are a lot of ways this piece could be improved; for example, better backgrounds, better onomatopoeic words, maybe a better panel layout etc, but I guess I can work on that ^_^; I'd also like to develop my own -unique- style; as this is very anime/manga-based. (Not that that's bad, but so many do it...x_x )

That's all for now really, hope you enjoy!

It is pretty chibi-ish. But there's a little of an individual style in there too, the panels are pretty good, mine are just lazy. It might be fun if you continued it with you working in the shop.

Actually, did you apply for the job?
I hope you did . . . and that you got it of course.

Yeah hehe, recently I've adopted a more cartoony style! ^w^

And I didn't sadly!! Although, I now have a job down the road to it in a video-game shop ^_^

Awww, it'd be fun to see you working in a christian bookshop. I ought to get my blatantly hippy ass to work in a bank or a butchers or something to make up for it.

Hehe, thank you very much! ^_^ It was based around what I usually wear when performing with my band; although I don't have the horns or wings lol!! (sadly!! It would be so cool!)

You could make yourself some cute lil wings I made some using umbrella skeletons and ribbons...cept they got trashed at the party I made them for (too much whiskey )
What kind of band is it? Heavy metal?

Yuparoo, I have photoshop on here! ^_^ And that's good thinking!! I can try that next time I make a comic, I have a few ideas already but it's choosing which one and then finding time hehe!

Don't be sorry, as it gives me tips to consider on how to improve!

Thank you, and Merry New Yeeeeeeeear!!

LOVE IT!!! Can't wait to see more of the series!!

For your first attempt, it is wonderful! The style you have done is refreshing, as it has that anime/manga feel, but it isn't done heavily. Love the Mortiroth character! Keep up the great work!
