Description Woohoo! Finally some new concepts up. Not the funniest things in the world, just playing with the style. I need TONS of critique on these since I'm gonna start using this style in the comic. Thanks for your time!

The ears are fine staying the same size, but you could make them a little bigger, too. I wouldn't make them any smaller.

Ooooh! I love it!

The lettering is much, much better, and the added attention to detail really holds it up. I really like the way you've done the rabbit, now. He doesn't look like a lightbulb with ears. However, I'd watch out for the top of the cat's head-- the forward ear and the section between it and the other ear. That looks a little bit funny. On the bottom picture, the big thought bubble, I'd watch the size of the... erm... ridges (?) on the cloud. They look like they should be bigger. You don't have to make them as big as mine, but they look a little scribbly like that. A really small thing, and it's only a style issue, keep it if you want, is the shoes look too round to me.

This last thing isn't really something that looks funny or off or really good, but it's something you might want that will add a little to your comic: space. This kind of reminds me of Garfield. There's very little spacial sense in it. You could try adding a horizon line, or a floor and wall joint. It might add some sparkle, it might not. I think it would be worth checking it out because you look like you could certainly handle it very well. If you don't know what I'm talking about, tell me and I'll throw up an example.

Aye, the ridges on the bubbles can flatten out a little. I'm thinking of more of an ambient background to match this comic. Maybe just a little shading to give it depth. (Cigarro and Cerveja anyone?)
I'll keep working with Samson (cat), he's been the hardest to improve so far. Do you think the ears should remain the same size? Or just change the shape? I have at least 10 pages of Samson sketches now, and it's starting to bug me muchos.
Thanks for all your help Jenny!
