Hiya folks, Wingnut here, Illustrator and Co-Author of the comic
Acquired taste. I became a part of the Drunk Duck community about a month ago,
and I figured it was time for a critique.

Let me know what you think so I can improve! :)

The coloring is very bold. That is probably the very first thing I noticed when I first saw the comic. Granted, the earlier pages don't look AS good as the newer ones, but such a dramatic improvement over such a short period of time is a good thing.

The art style is also very distinct too. It vaguely resembles the old AS show 'Home Movies', except with quality art.

The writing is usually spot-on too, with only an occasional slip up where the joke doesn't work.

Wow, thanks a ton!

Yeah, it's kind of fun being able to track the learning of new skills during the course of the comic, and I'm glad you dig the coloring, I wanted something bold, something that screamed "Hey! Look at me! I'm not a sprite comic!"

I think I accomplished that.

Thank you so much for the critique, it is really encouraging.

I don't know if this is going to sound right but it also seems to have a very "wooden texture" to it that seems to set it apart from most other comics. I like it alot the only issue I have it gradient backgrounds. I'd say add a bit more backgrounds substance just so the focus isn't so directly on the bold colors and falls more on the actualy story and characters.

Thats good thinkin'.

I haven't tried much with backgrounds, but I'm working on a contributing comic to Telenarius, so I better learn soon eh?

Look out for that, it will be a little different from what you've seen so far.

But yes, backgrounds, I can do that. Thanks a ton for the critique, this is really helpfull.

No problem mate always here to help. ^_^

This comic is hilarious. I loved the Demon Couch one, the ORLY one, and the demon slaying thing. The only thing I would say to do is to flesh out the characters a bit more, especially the brown haired guy.

That's all.

Hahaha! Im glad you like it! Thats really great news mate!

Somone who loves the demon couch! Yaaaaay! One of my personal favorite characters.
But yeah, hoping to move on to more character development in the near future. Huzzah!
Glad you liked it man, thats awesome.

-cheers!
