Hey guys, ive finally decided to restart the comic i was doing before dd crashed some time ago. Ive been studying comic drawing stuff and hopefully i have improved by now. :roll:

The story revolves around philippine mythology creatures beliefs and stories and 7 teenagers who get entangled in all of it. So if you're into myth stuff, maybe you'll like this one too.

I have initially uploaded 5 pages and would be updating once or twice a week if i can, please do check it out. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Alrights, alrights.

I really love your use of perspective. That's my greatest love about your comic. Especially in the first page of the chapter and the third page. Absolutely insane.

I also like your art style and coloring. The coloring might not be as complex as other coloring styles, but it fits the comic and the art style very well so all is good.

It's a bit difficult to understand without reading the authors notes, which I find a little disappointing. (I'm a big mythology comic fan) I would recommend trying to work a bit more of this info actually into the comic.

Even so, I think you are doing a marvelous job and I can't wait to see what happens next. ^^

artwise your comic is awsome, I still don't understand the plot, but I'm quite sure it'll start to make sense in a few strips.

Also, I suggest darker shadows. This is a bit of a preferance thing, but your colours look a bit flat to me.

Why are you like, not promoting our site? : P

I like your comic very much, although some things in it do look kinda wierd or misporportioned. I look foward to seeing more.

Hello I know I'm new here and stuff so I feel bad instantly whiping out comments but that's why I'm here.. just saying what I feel

Art:
Your art is definitely far above average, your anatomy is pretty good although like Lunar mentioned somethings look slightly misporportioned but I think it might be a part of your own style (style as in the length of certain parts of the body)
I'm not sure what program and tools you use but I think you can make it look better by putting more variety to the thickness of your lines. I think you do it a few times, but it could be more.
For example on page 01-03 the last frame, I'd make the outlines on her eyes a little thicker/stronger so they stand out more. I think that's the main reason to use different lines/brushes/pencils, is to make certain parts of the frame stand out more (because theyre closer or because you want to put more emphasis on them, or simply because they are of different structure). And the guy leaning against the tree, could use some different thickness of lines too, to make him stand out more, and the detail on the tree stand out less. I like how you detail stuff though, detail is good I think

But like I said.. do you use a tablet? Because its hard to apply pressure difference with a mouse..

You seem to go for an manga-influenced style? At least a little Try putting slightly more detail in the eyes and thicken up the lines of the outlines of them, it'll make em look better I think. Also giving the guy thicker eyebrows will make him more a guy (more difference between guy and girl. and with thicker it could be a thicker line or two lines forming the eyebrow) unless he is supposed to be a feminine guy.

Also try to play with their eyes and eyebrows to make their emotions stronger. However, right now they maybe are supposed to have a very neutral, sort of staring look on their face? Dont be afraid to add more detail to the face to express emotions.

I like your shading but like somebody else suggested try make em a little darker so they stand out more

But good art overall, keep working on it!

Story:
Someone mentioned an author's note? Well I didnt see and I too didnt understand what its about but I think thats the whole point. You're only a few pages into the story and we're thrown straight into the story which isnt bad at all. the point is I think to catch our interest through the mystery I think there are very few stories to understand right from the start, the point is to write a catchy intro which I think you did pretty ok. Im pretty sure you're going to explain more (in the comic itself) as the story progressing. I think generally, if you dont understand the gist of it after one chapter somethings wrong So plenty of time.
It made me curious but I'm into this kinda story.. not sure about people who aren't. But they woudlnt read it anyway.

Flow:
Too little pages to really say anything.. but from what I saw your flow and framework is pretty good! Your pages don't read dully and they're easy to follow too, so keep that up. I like how you get away from too many straightforward close ups on a character's face. That can be hard. Good job.

Say.. did I get carried away.. maybe this is a little much.. err sorry ^^" Hope its useful. Good luck with your comic I'll check back sometimes once you got more pages!

Pretty nice job. The quality of the artwork seems to vary throughout, but for the most part it's good. Attractive arrangement of speech bubbles and page layouts, as well.
