Comic Genesis Forums

I am not looking for a critique for my comic as a whole (I'm afraid that bad reviews will make me sad!)...I merely want to know about one particular aspect.

But first, backstory!

I changed both my comic's title (due to lawsuit threats) and art style around the beginning of November. I'm also working on improving my writing style/abilities/whatever, but that is for another time.

I'm now considering the hand-drawn stuff (everything before 11/6/07) to be my "old stuff" (much like When I Grow Up is WIGU's "old stuff", and Bobbins is Scary Go Round's "old stuff"), and will be putting it in a seperate section of the yet-to-be-expanded archives, and referencing the things from those stories less and less as time goes on.

The thing I want feedback on specifically is the colors I'm using for my characters now. Fishman and Quincy are the only two regulars who have shown up since the change, but they're also the brightest (colorwise!) of the bunch. When I updated everyone's looks, I realized how bland their colors were so I brightened them.

On my laptop at home, they look fine...but here at work, they look extremely bright.

I guess I just want to know how they are showing up on everyone's computers out there...and whether I might need to tone the colors down a bit.

Thanks!

**NOTE: The banner in my signature does not use the new brighter colors...so you'll have to actually go to my site to see them.

I like your comic... In all honesty though, I perfer the way that your stuff used to look. Anyways, the colours look fine to me the way you have them now.

Colors look good on my end. Bright, but happily so. Not annoying.

I'm on a laptop, LCD screen.

Bright and cheery, not eye-hurty. I'm on a two-monitor setup, using a big old CRT as a second screen for a shiny new laptop. Everything is darker and bluer on the CRT -- doubtless its phosphors have degraded -- but it's not too bright on the laptop LCD either. Maybe your screen at work is set too bright? You might consider getting one of those color calibrators (like the Pantone Huey), now that they're affordable by ordinary folks.
