Took me long enough to remember that there was a forum here.

Could it be...? The holy grail? A sprite comic in which all of the sprites are 100% custom made!? And there's no copyright infringement!? And apparently no spelling mistakes!?
Man, making custom sprites takes ages! You must have put a lot of effort into this.
Ok, I'll try to stop hyperventilating and give you some kind of useful crit here... Ok, the sprites have rather big, blobby feet at the moment. I think if you have the characters who wear trousers have their pants leg come two pixels further down, the effect will be that the feet look better. Secondly in some places the lack of light/dark contrast makes things feel a little flat. You're using very subtle changes of colour between shades on your sprites, and I think you could afford to do slightly bigger colour jumps, which will allow you to have darker outlines and bolder looking characters. For the backgrounds, I think slightly more muted colours would look better. At the moment, the background uses very bright browns and greens and stuff. I think your vibrant sprites would be showcased better if you just added a little grey to any background colour you use.
I'm really pleased to see a sprite comic that uses the simplicity and vibrant style of pixel graphics to comic advantage rather than simply using ripped game sprites as a quick and lazy way to make things. Two thumbs up for effort.

Thanks! I had the sprites and backgrounds maybe 3-4 weeks before I made any of the comics. I did put a lot of effort into this.
And thank you for the crit, I'm fixing Kerres's feet (They always did look funny to me, I could never figure out why), so that is really helpful, and I'll try to fix the backgrounds a little later.
