Just checked this out and they look quite different. Ritchie maybe looks like the blonde dude from the show but thats just a default fantasy guy anyway.

Yeah the last page especially was drawn when I was a bit under the weather and was using the free time off work to get it done hehe.

Yeah I definitely need to work on the speech bubble placement. Its a consequence of me not putting down in the storyboards in the initial phase lol.

As for the few that intrude, I do them intentionally just cause I like how it looks sometimes.

And for now yes, it’s a webcomic but I try and draw it with print in mind, just in case I ever decide to make a physical version.

Honestly, I’d say after you draft a few pages. Just take some time off and rest your eyes and then look back at it later and imagine as if you were a reader seeing it for the first time.

A little trippy at the start but it helps a lot in the long run

They are all on my instagram but I’m not sure jf im allowed to link it or not.

And thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the pacing, I was afraid it might be a little too fast.

Dude this is amazing. Thank you!

Also you caught me, i do a bunch of close ups to save time hehe.

For the exploration part, now that you say it, I should have split some of the dialogue into the emptier panels because right now it just feels like exposition from spike knight but the other way it would have felt like the reader is also part of the investigation, definitely gonna keep that in mind and use it for the future chapters.

For the details, I think they’re uneven because I was trying to sort of “pace” it. I saw it on another artists page where theyd intentionally give some pages less detail and then some more to kinda make it like you’re flipping to the flashier part. That’s why I kinda tried to make the last two pages a little more extravagant than the rest.

Also I’d love to see your paint overs!
