Hi,
I'm Dean. I just posted a new comic written by my friend, Lash, with art by me. I'm brand new here and would be happy to give crits as well as receive them. I'll make sure Lash knows about DD too.
Thanks!
going away - Hey Everyone Look What I Did!

Your characters are very expressive. I'd like to see bolder lines to better suit their extreme expressiveness. Especially on the speech bubbles. The speech bubbles could definately use outlines.
Your coloring's neat and fairly good quality. Nice perspective and interesting panels... none of the 'talking heads' here... I think given a bit of time this'll round out into a great, high quality comic as long as you keep at it.
It's very good for a new comic and if this is your first, even more impressed! You've got a good handle on sequencial art and I wish you good luck. ^_^

Thank you, Metruis, for the comments!
I do have some experience with sequentials, but not a lot.
I debated about outlines on the speech bubbles, but I really didn't think they were neccessary. I may change my mind.
FYI, I go straight from pencil on paper to color in Photoshop - no inking phase. I wish I had an inker as I don't care for the job myself.
The first scene of the first story is written by Lash. I'm now penciling it.
Stay tuned!

Hey Lash!
I just posted the cover to #1. I only have a tiny bit more work to do in order to be able to post the first scene....

Hey everyone,
I updated Starsearchers the other day. So, what's the best way to get really involved here at DD? I still feel really new around here.

Um... it looked like the pages weren't showing up, so I deleted them and re-uploaded them. Looks okay now.

I think Overthink would make an awesome action figure.

Finally got the last pages of issue #1 done and posted! Whew!
I'm hoping I can do smaller chunks of story to post in the next issue. It should work.
Thank you, MLLASH for such fun, interesting characters to play with!

I added the inside back cover and back cover to issue #1. NOW it's complete!
The design sketches were done by my son, Jayke. His title is "Design Consultant" as he and I worked with what Lash provided. Some of Lash's early designs have been altered a lot, some have barely been changed at all.
The back cover is a fun way of examining how propaganda can be so subjective. This was seen in the Legion of Superheroes Volume 4 by Giffbaum. (Lash and I are both MAJOR LSH fans if I haven't clarified that yet!)
I've begun production on issue #2 also. In fact, the front cover and inside cover are DONE. The first 2 pages are pencilled, awaiting those colors and letters. Hopefully I get this all done fairly soon and posted. My goal is to post less pages more often.

Did a one page update today. 80 views. I was happy to see that. Is 80 views on a Monday good? I have no idea.

Added another page. So far, my goal of adding few pages, more often is happening!

I added pages, which didn't upload right, so I re-did it and now it's fine.
Currently, I'm drawing the next 2 pages, which are very well written, but I'm not happy with the look of it. I'll try again tomorrow. I wanna "nail it" y'know?

Thanks, Lash!
The next update will be 3 pages long, so it'll take me a *bit* longer to finish it off.
spoiler....
some good backstory will be filled in.

Ditto! This leaves only a 3 page sequence remaining for issue 2. Lash has already written #3 and has begun #4.

The scripts are great! I'm about halfway through penciling #3.
I just posted the last 3 pages to #2.

I posted the first 6 pages of #3 today, and we've had a nice number of views. Just want to say that I really like the series and I hope Lash keeps writing for centuries!

Posted page 7 of issue 3, today. Life is slowing down my posting pace, but I'm certainly not stopping. Lash has completed scripts through issue #6!
