Hi there,
The first thing that caught my eye was the matching word ballon style you picked. It really complements the lineart style and strengthenes it. With your lineart also being somewhat cubic it completes your art.
To come to your style i am no expert so i will just state what i perceive. Its clean, neat and "Your", distinguished.
I cant tell what they are talking about so i will again say what i feel about your story telling. it seems that they are discussing about past event and the guy is kinda caused the guard/machine explain himself kinda defending himself.
both figures postures being relaxed and non threatening one can only guess of the subject e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
also great shading and black and white balance. the eye doenst wander around the page and directed to each panel easily.
anyways thas how i saw it e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
great job e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

awesome stuff! really love the art.
i see a bit of j Hewlett / Chris Cunningham and allot of blame! in this.
storytelling wise, there's not much physical acting here, just talking. so its hard to tell if its good / efficient storytelling.
while not knowing what the dialouge is, it feels to me that there are too many word balloons in the one page. (im a fan of silent panels and visual story progression)
the clean art style implies that it wants to be read fast. while too many words would slow the scene...
that said, i love this, and would love to see some action scenes.

Thx a lot. I started this page as an illustration (first panel) and then I decided to add panels and text balloon without knowing what they talking about...
Thx,
Pat

This as a very good assessment of the page. I LOVE this page. I agree that it is too balloon heavy, but again I agree with Shambolic in that I too prefer few (or none at all) when it comes to text balloons.
On the other hand, I DO get a sense of importance in the situation with the talking going on and no real intense body language or dynamic action. Since McWolf has amply demonstrated his ability to portray dramatic action already in other works, I give him benefit of the doubt & assume that he has chosen for this page to be a writer's portion, possibly as a vehicle for dialog to impart crucial information to the story. All the while providing beautiful visuals to support this text driven segment.
Whatever the intention is, I still can't get enough of his stuff or Shambolic's either. Both these guys rock and serve as excellent teachers to refer to when I need to study pages and action and storytelling.

Nice page, the mechanics on the robot look like it was just scratched out with a needle or something, but at the same time it's very precise. Great shading too.
