magnifique work my friend+5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! richard

Super work!!

Excellent work!

What a body of work. We really must get a "graphic novels" gallery here in Rendo, so's one doesn't miss any of the good stuff ;o) You really know how to keep a consistent look and feel to the pages, everything is worked through, and you have a particularly fine sense of color harmony. So I'd give you 5 or even 10 stars for the images. But...forgive me for saying this, I simply say it because I think your images deserve to be used better : your storytelling is not quite up to the quality of the images. The images are just eye-candy to go along with the text - but WHAT eye-candy, I must admit ;o) Issue 2, page 14 is a superb case : a drop-dead gorgeous image of two people talking, and lots of story, but it's all in the text. "Tides Of Fate" here starts out with grand drama - all told by two people standing around talking at the dead of night. What I'm trying to say is that, IMHO, there's a certain lack of... immediacy, if there is such a word. The reading experience doesn't quite "pull you in". Most of the story is told via text boxes, and, as the old saying goes, don't tell - show! You obviously have no problems creating gorgeous images, so I'd suggest putting a bit more energy into visual storytelling. Now, Frank Miller does use the lots-of-textboxes approach, but we can't all be Frank Miller LOL Any of Ridley Scott's movies, or Hermann Huppen's (artist name just "Hermann") stuff will teach you lot's 'n lots about telling a story with images needing little or no accompanying description boxes. And visuals of your quality deserve to be read by far more people, so you owe it to yourself to use them in the most engaging storytelling you can learn ;o)

Thip, Thanks for the feedback! :) These issues are cramming a lot of story into them, so they do happen to lose some immediacy, I'd have to agree. The next few pages coming up will have more action. I didn't create the comics with the intent of displaying them one page at a time, either, but the limit here is one post per day, so it loses a lot of immediacy there. Now, I have to agree with you on all accounts. These were set-up stories mostly. The action will be coming very soon. I have a story I wrote that will be involving a knock-down, drag-out battle between Balor demons, succubae, and a whole party of adventurers on the horizon. That will be an entirely new story without screenshots at all. I also may do some development so that it works better from the 1 post per day limit. I'm a big fan of both Frank Miller and Ridley Scott. I'll have to look up Hermann Huppen though. Sounds interesting. :) Thanks again for the constructive feedback! By the way, I loved your series. I find it a lot more like where I plan to go with mine.
