heh, it seems pretty hard to get any feedback on here, I think your comic is outstanding, has great character, and I love the colored lines. I'd like to encourage you to try some shading, in the sam eoclor of course, because that is outstanding, but you don't need to imo. I'm surprised you're not getting more attention. I'll be sure to mention this to friends. Keep up the hard work. It'll totally pay off in the long run. =]

Finwick's right, people are being punks about not giving you any feedback!

Seriously, you've got a great thing going on here. It's tough starting out, but with the quality of work that you're turning out, you should have no problem gaining and maintaining quite a following.

Keep it up, I'll spread the good word as well!

Cheers!

I love the color of your strip. I would suggest finding a way to make your word balloons better, as their pixel-y-ness and harsh blacks are an intrusion on your delicate illustrations.

yea xD my word balloons are the most difficult part of this ^^; And to tell you the truth, my balloons looked worst than that in the past xD Thanks for bringing that up :3 I will try to think of a way to make smoother text balloons :).

Heya Peipei,

Wanted to return the favor of reviews for you, so I left you some constructive crits...

Two to be exact...so far...Page I think it was three and five or four. I do like what you are doing, but I suggested that you up your dots per inch (dpi) to about 350 or better, this is to reduce the pixelation of your illustrations (it is detracting from the delicateness of the art...which is really too bad). If you are using a photoshop program you might want to use the "Save for Web" function which reduces the images to livable KB's without sacrificing your art.

The other thing I noticed is the long run-on sentences in your dialogue. I used to be as bad (and still catch myself at it sometimes). I would suggest actually saying the dialogue out loud. Not a good idea in mixed company, in a library, or with family around (they tend to think you're crazy if you do). If you pause to take a breath that is probably a good place for a period.

Hope the suggestions help. I like what I've seen, and will continue to read and review as I get moments in the day!

Have a great one and again thanks for the comments on Only Half: Sins of the Father! It's good to have fans out there.

Don't worry about exposure, you keep it up word of mouth will get you in the limelight. I'm still working up my fan base as well....and with so many comics on this site it is really hard to get exposure!

It'll pick up!

Later for now!

Oh PS...Your background for the comic (IE the page behind your work) is beautiful, the maroon and black is a very stunning effect. Unfortunately the author notes, and the comments for your readers are getting swallowed by the darker shade. Might consider a light pink or even a white font color to make them stand out better. :D wish I was good enough at HTML to be able to make my own custom design! Heh, I can play around with the colors and thicknesses on something already established, but making my own ***shrugs***can't do it!

I've only read a few strips, sorry about that; but from what I seem it seems pretty good. I really like your art style, it's detailed but still really elegant. Your pacing and panel layout seems really nice too. I can't comment much on the story as I only skimmed through a few strips. I'll have to get back to it one of this days
