Loved this spread, there is so much going on but you can still feel the emotion each character is displaying^^ And the metallic sheen you gave the suits is fantastic

I went out today and bought this comic, and without being dramatic, its one of the most beautiful comics I've seen.

Thank you my friend! It means a lot to me...

Hot press. It has the least tooth and the most smoothness.

your artwork will improve immensely if you buy the most expensive materials. Money is no object. Make an investment in your craft. Later on you will see how inexpensive they really are.

It's about $15-20 for a 22X30 sheet. Arches is a good brand too.

I love it! I am gonna get the comic...

I can't critique ($$$) so this is just a comment:

The only thing that is a bit off to me
is the "white + black stroke" panel lines,
it kind of unreals the image...
I "photoshoped them off" to see if it matches better
and I think it suits great the "real looking style" you use.
Makes it feel like watching "real life".

Of course it will be harder for you to split stuff,
and well, in this case the visual code might "fight"
with the sharp lines like those in the walls and columns,
I am sure that you can work that out with color.
Maybe just the white without the black...

Love the technique, and the careful render of the materials.
Great compossition, the panel work, the diagonal sequencing,
the characters conssistency, the close and far planes.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT IT IS REAL PAINT!
I am gonna start working my art without a computer.
