Critiques needed for my comic.

Marverick · Post by **Marverick** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 7:53 pm

Nearing 50 comics is a huge milestone for me and i decided to actively seek critiques for my comic....well, i always look for critiques, its just that my fans are more of the silent types i guess.

Any advice is appreciated and i thank you for your time

Well, it seems good to me. Your art is marvelously consistent, and what little change it has is for the better. Your story is fine, no holes or anything. The only problem I had was your nav buttons. I tell everyone this; Put next and previous links directly below your archived comics, before your newspost. I read newsposts on frontpages, and sometimes I read them as I go through archives, but some poeple don't. It works alot faster when your paging through archives if you have a button directly below the strip, because thats where you end up when you're done reading.

Other than that, I have nothing.

I enjoyed the comic as well. I really can't say anything bad about it. The only think that i can suggest is to actually design a layout for the ship itself. In a comic like this, I think the Ship will probably be a character in itself.

I might also add one more thing.
In reading your Character Bios, the Ship's Captain sounded like a Han-Solo Archetype. Be careful not to make him a stereo-type as you continue with his development.

Thank you for the critiques so far

about that han solo cliché...i don't know much about Star Wars so i'm gonna have to ask you to elaborate on that.

and the ship....i already have some designs for it (including interior plans and such) but i might have to re-work some of them since theyre not that detailed.

thanks again and keep those critiques coming, theyre helping me a lot

Well, the Han Solo Arche-type is an war veteran who has decided to "leave it all behind" and go smuggling in the great black yonder. He's an enigmatic space nomad who's only real friends are others out in the void of space.

I guess it is a little hard to avoid. Maybe all space captains are going to be the same. I guess antoher things I could say is make sure this captin is diferent then Malcom Reynolds.

The han-solo archetype is somewhat unavoidable... however, you can prevent it from becoming an archetype by making sure that's not the entire depth of that character. Think seriously about doing a backstory on him (if you think he's important enough) or at the very least, writing up a motivation sheet explaining why he is the way he is, and his idiosyncrosies; then try to incorporate that into the story. If you've the time to spare, maybe even do a few pages in your comic dealing specifically with his situation to let the readers into his head. A little bit goes a long way, in this case.

If thats the han solo archetype then i guess he's a little like that but he's not that 2 dimentionnal.

As for the crew's past....all the character's stories are planned out already. i'm planning on revealing all this as i go along to pace my chapters.

all i can say for now is that some characters have a lot more baggage than others and i hope a lot of readers will join them on their trip through space.

thanks guys
