Description
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
Shakespeare IV.1.148-158.
I had a lot of fun doing this tiny comic! I would love some feedback. Specifically: would it look better in color, or should I leave it black and white?
Shank you

Awesome work as always!
I don't think this needs any colour. Due the amount of black you've used, there is enough contrast and it's very clear.

I. Love. SHAKESPEARE.
English student, its kind of mandatory. And that dancing potato in the info is the bees knees.

Haha I love Shakespeare too! I actually used to hate English because I read embarrassingly slowly, but my girlfriend got me back into reading and got me involved at her dad's Shakespearean playhouse, so I came around eventually.
Gotta love the dancing potatoes Β Β Β Β Β Β Β

That's so awesome that you got into it. It makes me sad when people say they don't read (reading snob, it's unintentional)

Could be interesting, but I don't think color is really necessary for this one. It stands pretty damn well as is. Although, if you did want to keep working on it, I'm sure it would only magically improve. Honestly I'm having a hard time seeing how.

Why thank you
I want to see what it would look like with color, but I might not color it solely because I'm too lazy. Also I'm trying to submit it to YoungArts, and the deadline is approaching.
By the way, are you applying to youngarts?

Dunno if I'm going to make that one, but I should be trying. Thank you for the reminder. I'll definitely plan better next year.
Maybe try coloring a page or two in Photoshop, see how you like it?

Beautiful work. I like the symbolism of the figures and the way you rendered the panel borders.

Awesome!
It would be interesting to experiment with a color version. Perhaps bolder colors washing out to more subtle tones as the comic progresses..

This is beautiful. I'm an actress/playwright and spent some time at the globe, so I guess I just resonate with this. Β It's really very cool though.

Wow, thank you! I hope I didn't botch the Globe too badly. :'D

That is amazing!!! I wish I could draw like that. That's so cool!

I have a bias towards black and white, so I think it looks lovely.

This is really cool! I like your art style!Β
It looks good in black and white, but I am interested in seeing how it looks in color too.

Oh wow, this is quite the comic strip. Β Love the imagery.

The black and white is nice! It definitely doesn't need full colour, but if you want to add some accents or something maybe go with different shades of a single colour, or like sepia tones or something like that

Yeah, I was thinking of doing a limited color scheme. It all depends on whether I can get my ass in gear and actually color it though :'D

That's always the important question haha

At first I liked it in black and white, but about halfway through I thought, "You know, this could really use some color." Not a whole lot, just a little extra, like what andiree said.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll color it lightly, leaving some parts black and white.Β

i could see something like this being in heavy metal magazine

I'll take that as a compliment. Shakespeare + heavy metal = yes please

it is. I would never speak negatively about anothers art. To do so would be in poor taste. dont you agree?

Thank you! Shhh they're just sleeping it's not that bad

Not if you acknowledge the sub text of the monologue XD
You yourself told me what it meant! Β

I'm constantly amazed by your sense of composition. I think this looks great in black and white, but wouldn't mind seeing a coloured version!

Thank you! I'm planning on coloring it, but I won't go overboard with it.

It's a really good work ! I Think it's okay in black and white, it's more sober !

Thank you! I might color it lightly, but I'll definitely leave some parts black and white.

Wooo hoo! I think it's fine in black and white, as it isβyour sense of design is impeccable, as usual, and I love all the little details you put in the people, as well as the lack of detail when it was necessary

Thank you!! You give the best feedback.
I think I'm going to color it lightly just to see how it turns out. But I'm glad I scanned the un-colored pages first, in case it goes horribly wrong :'D

haha backup's always good! It would be interesting to see your color choices for this one too, if you ever get around to it

This would look AMAZING in color, with emphasis on the faceless, completely white figures. It's a wonderful comic nonetheless.

Thank you! I think I'm going to color it with watercolors and leave some parts white for emphasis. Even if it doesn't work, I have scans of the black and white pages, so I have nothing to lose.
Thanks for the feedback :^D
