Description Holy sh*t it's finally here! The so long awaited PAGE MOTHERF*CKING UNO! And i think it's not even that good... but deep inside i know it's good enough, tell me what you guys think.

I used Paint Tool SAI for the pannels, and MS Paint for the texts... Cause we all know that MS Paint>Photoshop.

Also, on that pannel with the 2 Billies fighting... guess whose Billy's dad?

I hope this is readable.

And i hope you like it!

If this page gets enough support imma start making page 2 right now! ... or... then... idk whatever.

I also don't know how to categorize this, so for now it's gonna be good old Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Animals.

Cameos: Behemoth, by , Thyrvon by and Collard Xenoceropts by

PS: The predators weren't even hungry lol, that's why i think this first page is bad, that scene kinda felt forced... i'm not good at making comics lol But hey, i guess when you're a Billy, and you're a prey item, you gotta run no matter if a predator's hungry or not.

All in all, The first strip is pretty great thus far. I mean you established his world both fluently and quickly, you made him somewhat simple-minded yet humbly aware of his surroundings(as would be for most animals, especially coastal species), and you even added a few cameos for the daily routines of his species and other fauna(possibly foreshadowing for some of them ). The only question I have is what you're trying to go for with the comedic timings, whether they be timed or random. Maybe it's just me but i don't know, just asking here Β .

Great job in the end Rickie!

This is looking good so far! But DAMN, didn't realize that bulls would be so aggressive! Then again, their closest relative IS the elephant seal.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

RickWhitetiger In reply to Owlbaskingshark [2017-04-21 17:17:41 +0000 UTC]

Yeh! And also, yep, they are very aggressive... but only in mating season, and at this point and time in the comic, it IS mating season so the females with cubs (yes, bebeh billies are called cubs. But you can also call them calves if you want.) avoid rookeries/pods/herds at all costs, cause their cubs can get killed when fights break loose. And also, Billy Bulls sort of have a tendency to fight TO. THE. DEATH. They just won't stop until their rival just stops moving! That's why some young Billy bulls play dead when they make the big mistake to fight a bigger, more dominant bull, although that doesn't always work... some bigger, dominant bulls are smart, and know the games the younger billies play so they just finish them off when they try their tricks... damn, nature, you scary.

Speaking about bulls, guess whose Billy's dad? It's quite obvious lol.

My dad was a big guy too. I stopped visiting him when he lied to me about his tiny chihuahua pup who loved me being with her mom for a little, but in reality he sold her. how long did he keep up the lie? FOR. THREE. WEEKS.

Owlbaskingshark In reply to RickWhitetiger [2017-04-21 21:07:03 +0000 UTC]

Anyways, after contemplating that depressing moment, I wonder three things:
1: Do male and female Billies differ in coloration, as well as size?
2: Does this comic have a plot, besides a lil' Billy cub exploring the island?
3: Will Stevens (Renamed the squeaker) appear in the next page?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

RickWhitetiger In reply to Owlbaskingshark [2017-04-21 23:04:07 +0000 UTC]

A1: Yes, they differ in size, but colorations vary in age. The older a billy, the darker it's fur, the younger a Billy, the clearer it is.

A2: Also No, it's not gonna be only around the Billy (that we all know and love... like... remember the first picture i uploaded of him? rickwhitetiger.deviantart.com/… that one. Man, he has he changed a lot since that goofy little sketch )Β cub exploring the isles. It'll also revolve around a relationship it'll have with a certain character... not gonna say who to avoid spoilers, and at the same time it'll revolve around said character forming a romantic relationship with another character... it's sort of confusing but as the comic advances it'll make more sense.

A3: Yes, they will
