I like what you've got so far, especially the kinda dreamlike setting. I also think you did a great job with the dialogue, though my personal preference is to be more vague when introducing seemingly major ideas (like the soul eating thing) so that it can be fleshed out without actually revealing it specifically at any point- BUT with that said I could be wrong and it might not even really be the point at all and moreso simply something those characters casually do 😄
Either way keep going! It's cool so far. I felt engaged
awesome thank you so much! And yeah, it's basically an introduction to the villains, a little about the world and helps in understanding how the main character comes about! :) I'm glad some people enjoy it, I keep looking back at it as an artist and wanting to trash it, never feeling like it's good enough, so thank you I really really appreciate it!
Oh I know that feeling for sure. I have countless potentially good things I've cast aside like spoilt milk because I got too close to them for too long 🤣
Please don't trash it
Haha I definitely won't! I've been doing that since I was 20, re-working and re-working; listening to people who keep telling me to work on my style, my drawing technique ....I found one now I'm happy with and want to get my story on paper now and complete it! Kind of my aim in life overall: create and publish a complete graphic novel since I was 13 :P
I liked it. Little short. Giving it more lenght would allow you to use more techniques like show us instead of telling us what is going to happen, it kinda feels like you are spoon feeding us information. A very important part of story telling is to not underestimate the readers intelligence, if you give us hints, or small details, we will be able to put 2 and 2 together.
But i like the theme a lot! Keep practicing!
yeah I always keep that in mind with how I tell my story, it was mainly meant to be an introduction to the villains, little hints are everywhere to explain who and what they really are, who the fish in the fish bowl are etc... so I definitely keep that in mind!
Just a few things that really are hidden unless you really think about it ;)
Interesting read!
Thank you so so so much!!!
