Lo and behold. I humbly bring this comic before this forum mostly in search of more readers, but also willing to take criticism if anyone feels like giving it.
You can read it here .
I was on hiatus and have recently returned. I hope to redevelop a reader base.
going away - Hey Everyone Look What I Did!
[Plug/Crit] Flame of Earth --- In need of readers >:

Taking it out will make it a bit more dramatic and gives a hook for the audiance to grab at but I personally like the dialogue :D

Yeah...the main reason for me wanting to get rid of the dialogue is so that it won't be so RACISM IS BAD and blatantly obvious. I kind of wanted a more mysterious vagueness to it, so I figured that getting rid of the dialogue and making it mostly symbolic would help...that way there can be multiple interpretations.

Aah! Then yes taking it away will help meet that goal.

You update once a year? :-) I mean, I'm lazy, but gez, once a year is really stretching it :-)
It's hard to offer any crits because there's so much time between updates.
I don't think the colors on the dragon page are bad... you may want to use a smaller brush and zoom (200-300%)in a bit when you do your shading, just to get those lines a bit tighter. The inking (and this is a crit for some older pages), you need to use the line tool sometimes on your buildings instead of freehanding it... that will just tighten up the artwork.
The character designs look good, the story seems solid (though with the time gaps in updating, it's hard to tell).
Get back to it!
