For Lore: Ohhh that's a very atmospheric lighting there. And a very intriguing page to boot. I will definitely check this comic out. And those stab wounds look horrid. Well done!

Akacya The bounty hunter:
The Mouths seem kind of odd this page, not quite right somehow. I backtracked to see if it was an issue but it really does seem like it's just this page where they look weird. The dialog is what one would expect for an exposition heavy page. It's not bad but a little jarring to jump right into this big exposuitionary block after such a long and very well done action sequence.  Maybe next time ease us into it a bit.

Re: Action Teenz
This looks like a really great and funny comic that I am hoping to catch up with the entire series soon. I really like your interesting page layouts, character designs and colors. The outfits are great, I always struggle with coming up with super hero outfit designs for my characters in Willem, so I applaud you for that. This particular page (11) I read the first couple of word balloons out of order, no big deal but just something to note. My only suggestion would've been to add gutters between the panels. I noticed there were gutters on the pervious page and I think that looked really good. :)
Willem just updated this morning. We're currently still in the middle of Brian's (Lightspeed Lad) flashback story of his first date with Victoria (Wallflower). He's admited that he has some issues and doesn't think dating is a good idea, much to Vic's dismay.

Dating a bipolar is hard work, but not impossible. Some nice touches there, clean art, good expressions. I like.

Did you do this in Poser first, and then draw over the contours in Photoshop or something?  I like it.

Very interesting!  It's a bit of exposition, but not boring (the newscast, I think, helps with that).  Neat way to do the "video" effect, and the newscrawl thing is great!

In the latest installment of Autumn Bay, we get a good, old fashioned throwdown with eldritch horrors in a horrific alternate future.  Just like mom used to make.
For those unfamiliar with the comic, Autumn Bay is a conspiranoid urban mad science cosmic fantasy, where you don't necessarily know what's going to happen next.  Come in and check it out!

Your use of texture is marvelous, and I like how otherworldly your eldritch horrors look.  Good work.

Wow… no words needed… I can feel the emotions… very efective…
 
I thought I would give it a try to this forum…  anyways… I barely started posting this comic… Introducing now two new characters…. read if you please… https://next.theduckwebcomics.com/Juan_Xapon/
 
Comment if you can and want…

Don't you just love those damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't traps?
Anyways, useful commentary:  Proportions and posing are a little awkward, although not significantly more so than mine.  Scaling (especially that last panel where the girl bends over, she looks a bigger rather than closer) and perspective (in the first panel, it looks like the table and chairs are on an incline) are problems, and your backgrounds could use some work (for example, there should be a line where the wall meets the floor).  Also, your writing has room for improvement (gay jokes are so '90s, although I personally found your twist on the formula amusing), but I can see a lot of potential here if you work at it some more.
There are all sorts of tutorials on the web to help you learn to do these better, and I think your comic will be better for it.  That said, I think you're off to a pretty good start, and it would be a shame if you were to abandon your work because you thought you weren't good enough.  We all started from somewhere around where you are, and it takes practice, a willingness to learn, and more tenacity than you know what to do with to get to the kind of art you're trying for.  Keep it up.

In today's update of Frontier: 2170, Sara tells her story (trigger alert: death, brutality, hate crimes, dehumanization).
Transgender Day of Remembrance 2014 ‪#‎TDoR2014‬
Today is a day dedicated to all of the gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender, and genderfluid people who have been murdered and
brutalized for being who they are. How they identify themselves is not a
choice, as some would have you believe; the popular theory in the field
of psychology is that sexuality is det…ermined
during conception (and is not a mental illness; homosexuality was
removed from the DSM in 1973), and recent neuroscience studies have
indicated that gender dysphoria is likely caused by the brain being
wired for a body of the opposite sex. Decades of attempts to "cure"
non-heteronormative sexual identities have met with no success, and tend
towards abusive and horrific practices.

Studies performed by San Fransisco State University have estimated that
non-heteronormative youth who have experienced high levels of rejection
from their families during adolescence are more than eight times as
likely to attempt suicide, more than six times as likely to report high
levels of depression, more than three times as likely to use illegal
drugs, and more than three times as likely to be at high risk for HIV
and other STDs, all by the time they reach their early 20s. The Suicide
Prevention Resource Center estimated that 30-40% of non-heteronormative
youth have attempted suicide.
According to the FBI, in 2008,
although 4,704 crimes were committed because of racial bias and 1,617
were committed because of the victim's sexual orientation, only one
murder and one rape were committed due to racial bias, while five
murders and six rapes were committed due to the victim's sexual
orientation. Furthermore, violent hate crimes based on sexual
orientation tend to be especially brutal, even when compared to other
hate crimes. It is rare for a victim to be simply shot; he is more
likely to be stabbed multiple times, strangled, and mutilated.

Although Sara's account is a work of fiction, events like what she
describes do actually happen in the real world, and it is both horrible
and tragic. I can only hope that by the 22nd century we will have moved
beyond such hatred and ignorance, but if history is any indication it'll
take much longer than that unless proper action is taken. They don't
have the time.
Frontier: 2170 will resume its normal update schedule on Friday, November 28th 2014.

I really like the use of grey wash in your art.  I'm terrible at those sorts of things.  I will have to read more than just that last update to get the storyline of the series, but i like the science jargon, too.  Tres Star Trek.  :)
Okay, now the self promotion.  Everyone should check out my series Funk!: https://next.theduckwebcomics.com/FUNK/5474168/ which just updated.  
Why, you ask?  Because it's different, it's brash and silly and thoughtful (somewhat) and it has cute girls and weird art and I just want people to read it, okay? lol.  I got 10 favorites and now I feel like John Grisham. Not everyone will like it, sure but then Led Zeppelin didn't write tunes that everybody liked, they left that to the Bee Gees.

Very nice cover, although it would have been nice to have a few more pages up so i could get an idea of what the story is like.  Nicely done.

Nicely done. The expression of the character really stands out, especially in that last panel. You can really tell she is upset.

Really nice, clean art with a distinctive and personable style and just the right amount of detail. Interesting combination of a serious situation and humour. 

You should check out this month's Heroes Alliance Monthly Mayhem because it's the first one to actively solicit your feedback. We want your ideas about who the posted characters this month are. Seize upon this free licence to be opinionated! :D If you want to submit a character of your own that's welcome, but you don't have to to have your say…

Good God, that eye's creepy.  For some reason, I want to say that her name is Susan, and she has mind control powers.  If you ever call her "Suzie," you're taking your life (and your very soul) into your own hands.

Hi! I'm new here, I also noticed that this forum hasn't really budged since mid-jan, so HELLO FEBRUARY!
So, the comic above me, Frontier 2170.. wow I gotta read this comic through, it looks cool.. I love sci-fi. I love the last panel, the bandages and everything. I also like how this comic is, like, hand toned.. marker? I think this medium isn't used enough anymore (and I am totally guilty of it), I can tell alot of time and care go into your pages!
As for Steel and Manitou, this is my new comic set in a fictional area of the great American West, a story about a travelling actress and her encounter with Native American spirits and lore. In this update, our little homeless girl speaks with the actress she has just been inspired by. We also learn her name!
Thank you ev everyone who mght be checking this comic out, I really appreciate any support/constructive critism/collaboration etc.. :)

oooohh, shiny a new comic.
Nice bold colours and great expressions.  you might want to watch speech bubble placement a bit.  the one in the first panel covering the art…  not so good.  even being opaque.  actually the opacity made it hard to read that text.  Sorry sounds like I'm being critical, but it pays to mention it as the comic shows a lot of potential so the little niggles stand out.  keep up the good work.
Lore updated recently.  Davin has gained the upper hand and recived back up from Stakken and Idmar.

That last question does bring up a good point.
Other than that, the transition between panels two and three seemed a little jarring, as if there was something that was supposed to be there but wasn't.

We are going to bring the forums back to life guys >:(!!
I love this page, sometimes little text say way more then filling space with words. I can see the emotions clearly on this page. The writing is a big hard to read on the monitor because of the lines, I suppose it has little to do with the story/is meant to be hard, but still had to squint a bit to read it. It's the only thing I could find to offer constructive criticism on the page though hehe :)

In Steel and Mantiou's latest update (Saturday 7th), our troupe is asking the lead Actress and creator of the tavelling act to hire an extra hand, as it's too hard on the old lady to do all the special effects and acting. The prolouge is a bit slow, but I love prolouges to set the tone and setting for a comic. It was my first time drawing the Western plains, so it has been alot of fun!
