Thanks for the welcome.
Ah, you changed your sig. Just when I was starting to get used to telling myself that the colorful Deity Permit banner led to Alex & Illia (and vice versa).

Hi there!
Well...you already know everybody's crazy, that I'm borderline religious nutcase (or not) and to duck when Dark Magician comes in the room...
Darn. You already know just about everything, don't you? Guess I'm just going to have to go overtime to get to know YOU.

Howdy, Futon!
I find futons to be too lumpy after a couple years.

My old roommate had the shiftiest futon ever. It was big and leopard print.

Alright! Who needed the bag?
I checked out the comic, Shifty; it's interesting. I like the drawings, but I was having trouble following the storyline. It feels like the reader is jumping into portions of a storyline, but we haven't been introduced to the characters enough to know their personalities and how they would react in a given situation.
Perhaps slow the storyline a bit and let us have a deeper look at some of the characters. For example, where does Red come from? What is she? How does she know the woman with her hair in the buns? How/why does she have the power to control zombies? How come the guy from the shop lives with Red now after she violated him with an artifact?
This is just one reader's opinion. You have to draw the comic the way that feels best to you. Constructive criticism is fine, you just take from it what you want. Best of luck with the comic; I'll continue to watch it to see how it grows!

And also, WELCOME!
RPIN: Sorry I randomly changed back the banner - when I put this comic up for critique in the techniques section, people familiar with our comics who saw your banner in my sig might've critiqued Alex and Ilia, if they didn't click the link.
Hey, it was fun while it lasted, right?

Hey there...I'm a relative noob myself here.
These boards are pretty good, and as a bonus they'll get your comic quite a few hits if you keep posting...

Hiya! I'm still kind of a newbie here, too...
Anyway.... here's a complimentary comic starter kit! It includes an application for a Keenspace account, and a "Whack-a-Troll(tm)" if you have a forum or tagboard!

I figured if I quoted you all just to reply, I would end up with the largest fourth post, you know, EVER. So instead I just did this.
Axonite: Agh, bag!
RPin: Thank you (for reading and liking it). Oh, and we're here. Hiding in the shadows, abducting people for strange probing experiments, and mutilating your livestock.
Vorticus: Now I expect a lei and some tropical drink with a tiny umbrella.
christwriter: Will this overtime include numerous video cameras? Because then. . .then I could finally realize my dream to be a reality TV star! (Cue the sparkly background.)
Asarea: Who would have it any other way?
Patch: Three months is too long, you must post more. I mean just look my awesome postcount of four. Does it not shock and amaze?
TheBladeRoden2: Yes, the one and only true downfall to message board invisibility. . .the invisibility.
phactorri: Now we have both kinds of sick, revel in the sickery.
Warren: That's why occasionally you have to beat them with a nice sack of Valencia oranges. To show them who's boss. [/Obligatory Family Guy reference]
MariaAndMichelle: Maria and Michelle! *Is glomped*
KathleenJ: I have a pun for that. It's horrible, so I won't share it. That and because puns are bad for your health.
G-Lode: Ooh, yes, I have flow issues. I've been thinking about doing mini-issues to clear up some plot holes (all of which you mentioned), except for the bulk of Red's origin and hair-bun girl's zombie powers which I've actually planned for later on. I'll try to slow it down too. Thanks for the constructive criticism, I'm always glad to read what people think.
Soap: Thank you.
Resolve: This cat, is it angry about being in the other hand? 'Cause I'm not going near an angry cat.
Jackhass: What? Shameless self-promotion? Never! If you'll excuse me, I have to go bury this brown bag which certainly doesn't have my shamelessly self-promoting sig in it.
ManyWorlds: I'll tuck the application away somewhere to use later, but I'll take the Whack-A-Troll now.
I have to say, I feel thoroughly welcomed.
