Blah, I'll once again refer everyone to this page:

I have a fondness for that last big panel with Orlock looming over Jack.

With this one, I either completely break the rule, or I can argue it's one "panel" because it all happens at the same time. LOL.
I post it because it's an ensemble shot AND it has insets, LOL.

The bottom tri-panel split on this page stands out to me.

@ FAL:

You seriously need to change that banner of yours, to better reflect the lineart and style of your comic. I would've never clicked on that banner in a million years if you didn't post that pic above. And ppl clicking on your banner with a wrong expectation will also not find what they were looking for (not unless they read 10 pages, and nobody does that out of charity).

His banner worked for me. I was expecting some kind of chibi-manga with an indie style twist and instead I got a comic with a completely original style and GOOD LETTERING despite being digitally made (my only initial disappointment was the lack of color which I got over). FAL actually changes his font to represent the mood of the characters or actions. I honestly can say that I've seen this rarely done outside of the few people who both digitally and hand letter for greater effect.

I don't know, I guess people just have different expectations. If he had just posted a cropped picture of a character from his comic with a little text blurb I probably would have never even clicked on it because I see enough of those as it is. Instead I see cute little character and in return I get style.

(I'm a long time lurker FAL)

Er... I don't want to get too off subject, but I think someone should make a topic about the effectiveness of signatures. Most people have good signatures, but there are some that are completely contradictary to the style or look of their comic or cater to a completely different audience whether it's intentionally or not. I think it'd be an interesting discussion.

Whoa, so much great art in this thread that it'd take me a week to review all of those single panels.

Mlai: I doubt anyone would even argue about you breaking the rules, because the page is just FANTASTIC. Your skills, especially the shading, make me LIME GREEN with envy.

FAL: Hoooooly...! Is that a drawing from the start or did you trace over a photo? Either way, great, clean art. Yum!

Totally agree with Fitz...and Fitz...your not too shabby yourself...I just want new pages from A Bit Cheesy, Argh!



I really like this panel for the sequence rendered and the horror of the scene...to explain the main character is melting.

Wow, great job there, Midge! And that scene is indeed creepy! The main character... melting... Scary! Kind of reminds me of that Indiana Jones movie. I love the use of the three color palette.Red is such a powerful color, I loved my recent page so much for that. More A Bit Cheesy coming Sunday/Monday. The panel I just finished is my new favorite :)

Just got a new favorite panel. It's actually from a splash page so I just cropped the most important part; Gurn and his buddy fishing on a log. It's my favorite because it marks a change in the comic's style and art direction.

There is some great talent spewing from these favorite panels! I love each one!

Mine is more in the fact that the day has ended for the main characters on their first day back to school and second year of sixth grade. The mood I created in the day ending, as a friendship begins was just spot on:


Better Luck Next Time, Season One
Episode 40, Panel Seven

Juno,

That is a particularly good blend of action, color, and line art. You have done some amazing work on other pages, too, but I understand why this one stands out to you. :)

Here is my current favorite mostly because of the relief I felt when it was done. I think I really do have better panels than this but this one just holds a special place in my heart.

Ooh, I'm gonna follow the theme of vehicular destruction here. This is by no means a best panel, considering I drew 14 pages inside of a week. But... SMASH!!!!
This has never seen the light of day since its days on OCADM (Online Comics something Deathmatch).
My KoID entry was better in terms of vehicular destruction... but ppl have seen that already.

This is my favorite single panel so far.
I love the textures, the small joke, the body language, the camera angle, the minimal colors, the shading, the composition. It implies part of a story but is sort of self contained.
Did it recently in Sept-ish of 2007.

Freefall Drift - A sci fi space opera of a starship's mission of stopping the Endless Kings.

There are ppl who don't like it? Are you kidding me?

If Frank Miller is allowed to use 3 colors, so can you.

Heck yes for awesome vehicular destruction! Great detail there mlai. :D I love how you knocked that tire right off. :D There's an awesome sense of weight throughout the whole thing. *applauds*

Thank you so much for the sweet words there dueeast. I think I spent longer on that panel than I did a lot of those pages. Blood, sweat and tears there. *nods*

I would have put in page 13 of Nadya, but it's pretty much two panels, and I'd feel like an idiot cutting her face out of it. So, I'll show you the next best thing.



I painted this last night. I love the background and how the blood is coming out of her head. Everything from the pink glow curling to the chilly blue atmosphere makes me glad. :-)

Nadya- a tale about what happens to SOME of us when we die.

Currently: Nadya is awake and asking more relevant questions.

Such cool-looking panels - the background in yours is really neat, legendkiller.

My best - I guess it'll be from a recent page of Lady Luck. The reason I like this one is that I set out to put detail into a background and it actually all came together, for once.

Thats really nice. I love the open composition and the tree shadows.


I've given up following my dreams. I just asked where they're going and I'm gonna meet them there.

Ah. I love that time of year. The composition suits it quite well. Such little details. Reminds me of Leaf By Niggle.

The first panel of this page is the best panel I've made, thus far!

This is my favorite panel and possibly one of the best I've made. Granted, the entire page is just one panel. I really wanted to show how one person could get mad and trash the environment around them, I think it worked... kinda.
