Hi guys - i'm new here.

    Oh man

    Some fantastic exaggeration there - I love the fisheye effect going on in some of the panels.

    The only thing I can think of to work on is your transitions between panels - you have a lot of motion and a lot of dynamic viewing angles going on, so you're going to have to be very careful with how you move from panel to panel. Zooming out a little bit to give us an establishing shot is a good idea, but be careful when you swap perspectives between characters - it can make things more difficult to follow.

    Looking forward to seeing more of your work! This is looking great!

    That's fantastic! Great dialogue, although I feel like we're missing something - there was only one panel between the time shift and an action event, so we don't really get a chance to meet the main character.

    I love his revolver though. It crosses the line so completely as to be rather appropriate.

    Very nice. I bought Popgun 1 the first week it was out, so I was already sold on vol. 2. But if I hadn't been, this would have convinced me.

    jives: haha glad you like the lisp

    rolo: thanks for the advice! yeah - the consensus is that i don't pull back for wide-shots enough and things (especially where the old guy gets cut in two) get too confusing.

    Nova_C: i agree the time-shift was very abrupt - i wanted to get to the action right away because Kid Revolver doesn't have much more character than what you see in these pages. that is... 'till the last bit of the story. i'm glad you like the revolver! it reminds me of the naruto kids carrying ridiculous things on their backs.

    Rankenphile: :)

    Tam: yeah i definitely wanna hang out here more - this forum is quite badass!

    Mustang: AH'll bi BAK

    Munch: sweet! i am blown away by the artists and writers i'm sharing this book with - lots of ppl trying things with comics that you wouldn't find on the mainstream racks. and i don't mean that in a "because they suck" sense!

    RubberAC: thanks! the next time i try a time-shift like that, maybe i'll make the color-schemes more starkly different so it reads clearer on the first go.

    NeoRedXIII, Giga Gopher, Asamof the Horrible: haha - thanks!

    Mustang: i'm back!
