I would suggest trying to give the lizard guy a wider range of facial expressions. He seems kind of emotionless.

It's hard to show a variation of emotions when the emotion doesn't change at this moment.... He's in panic, besides, I'm a terrible artist rushing this out due to an insane schedule, I apoligize if this looks like crap, it just does that because it is crap.

Well that's what practice is for. If you call yourself a crappy artist, you probably lack confidence in your skills. But if you want to become better you have to stop thinking you're crap and actually work to improve by experimenting and pushing out of your comfort zone.

Why does my comic look like this then? Well, on the last page of this chapter, which I have also uploaded today, I mention how finishing this chapter took almost 2 years of my life. Sorry if I act a bit rude, but I just get pissed off when after all these years of work people complain that the lines are messy, that I just scribbled doodles on paper or something. I'm not immortal! I don't want to spend a decade of my life working on my mediocre comic! I'm the only guy behind this comic!!!

I'm in COLLEGE right now, and this summer I even do an internship, 40 hours of intense work weekly for 2 months (no payment of course) ! And I have tons of other tasks to perform this summer!!!! And this comic is also another thing where I just want to end it after such a long time, so I cut corners... and guess what?! The next chapter will even be black and white cause even coloring by now takes too much of my time!

This comic is not meant to be huge improvement of my skills, it's supposed to be a story of my heroes! I can work on improvement somewhere else! I want to deliver people a story and quite frankly the fact that it takes me over 3 months to deliver 5 new pages is already driving me crazy and putting me to shame! So that's right, the next chapter will be black and white and if things go really bad, it'll be turned into a story... and once I make too many grammatical mistakes even with spellcheck, the story will end and shall be gone forever.

UGH I apologize if I act nasty, but I have a story to tell, I wasted so much of my life that I don't care if it's poorly written and drawn, I want to express myself

[Sincerely I'm thankful that you read to the end, thanks]

Hey I'm not saying drop what you're doing for art bro. Of course real life comes first, that's kinda obvious. But that doesn't mean you can still experiment when you do have the time to make things like this. Like little baby steps. If it's a story of your heroes wouldn't you want to try your best for them? Even if it slows down a little, the effort is worth it in the end.

I don't think so. It's a story of 6 heroes and so far only 3-4 of them showed up in the comic and the next chapter won't feature a new one. I kind of want to speed things along and finally get to the parts that will have the whole team. And yeah, here, I did it so shitty and YET, still, 2 years of my life. With such a result, not a single bone of my body feels like I should slow down. Quite the opposite actually...

I keep experimenting with full big pictures, but my comic doesn't have time for that. I'd make promises that if someone were to help me with the comic, then I could slow down a little, but I know that'd be a lie. I've been drawing for almost 7 years now and I have nothing more than about 60 comic pages to show for it. In my short 24 years on this planet I already managed to land on a hospital bed with the risk of dying.... I really don't feel like slowing down here and risk my story never being told to the end, especially when I'm already cutting corners this badly.

Of course I still underline how I'm not angry at you personally, I just ... these statements... sacrificing the last few free minutes of my life that are left to release more pages of this comic, so my watchers can at last find out how the story end and hearing how it's badly drawn? I realize I'm acting childish. I guess I have my period today or something...... yes, I'm a GUY, but sometimes I act as if I had those mood swings women are notorious for.

Well I didn't say it was drawn poorly, you're saying that all by yourself.

I mean obviously I don't have the same life as you, risking death at such a young age, so I definitely wouldn't know how I would react to that. So I can't really speak there, then.

I don't really see how your sex or gender factors into this though? But that's just me.

I say that cause I know it's badly drawn, I'm a real paradox. A part of me wants to rush it out, but another part feel shame for how badly it has to look because of the pace.

And yes, this experience taught me how short life can be, hence I really don't want to spend too much time on each page. There's a lot of things I take my time with, but not this, this is taking way too long to finish.

Sorry, sex and gender have nothing to do here, ugh, my head doesn't work properly anymore, I'm sorry

Egh that sounds difficult to deal with.

I mean you've explained your situation, so I think it makes a lot more sense now. I mean not a lot of us get the fact that life is so fleeting knocked into us that early. Like most 24 year olds run around like they're invincible.

Eh it's all chill bro. Our brains do wacky shit.

I have a little more reasons to feel pressure, I'm 24 and now I have my first year of college. I've made some bad decisions in my life and now I'm set back (thankfully things starts to get together all the sudden, but still slow). And I never felt invincible. I used to be 24/7 just like the hero of this comic, my gecko. He represents my past self!

Is he pathetic? Is he whiny? Does he have no vision of his own future and is quite EMO?

YES YES and YES! Because I was the exact same way! I want this comic to continue so I can display the change I underwent myself and became stronger.... but..... obviously I haven't given a good sign of that tonight ... ugh <puts a paper bag over his head>

Ah, understandable!

I can understand this. But you know we all goof up and junk so you just gotta take things day by day.

Another Ironic Trivia Note: The original title for my comic (in it's early design stages) was actually "Day by Day"..... OH THE IRONY!

True , mistakes are a natural thing, but as I'm totally not like a typical young person, I feel bad about my own mistakes.... but guess I have to learn to get over them.

Oh wow, irony indeed. >_>

Mm, I s'pose that's true of everyone. We feel real bad about 'em and then we keep going hopefully.

I keep trying to believe in evolution, that we can all learn from our mistakes, but it's less of a matter of "never doing it again" and more of "doing it less often"

I know what that feels like. I don't own anything like that, but I know what it's like to be that uncomfortable.

It's based entirely on my experience. That "thing" really existed and I kept staring at it and felt the fearing of being called out on it. Heh as I changed I realized I should stop being such a pussy. And in my head there are moments when I think like: Hmmmm I should buy that thing to proof how much I changed!

But emmm we'll see if I'll go that far, hehe
