Virginie, no offense meant but....
you're one strange lady.

Very good stuff. The only potholes I see in this great road of sequences is when the lettering is rotated 90degrees. That, and the last panel on the last page, the hand looks broken.

I feel that rotating the dialogue, you have to physically turn your head or squint to read it, so it disrupts the flow of storytelling. Effective lettering is lettering that flows with the eye flow of a page.

Other than that, I think it's really great and professional looking. Great work! Very cool.

I'd love to see you guys do a Batman story sometime. Or maybe Aliens vs. Predator. Great work!

Hi flamer,

these are pretty good. EddieChingLives is right about the rotated lettering. I don't think it's working.

From a storytelling perspective, just a couple of nit-picks:

Page 1, Panel 2 - You need to establish that this is Judge Dredd here. You should show his badge/name-tag, just to get this point clearly across. A reader unfamiliar with the Dredd mythos may not immediately know who this character is.

Page 3 - I'm not too clear on where Dredd has ended up after jumping out the window. Is he holding onto the same window ledge or is this somewhere else?

The Judge Death rendition is seriously cool!

awesome job.. very painterly

it looks like some panels are more touched up and detailed than others.

the rotating text doesnt bother me too much.

my favorite panels are: the 2 thugs looking up and seeing dread (off-screen), the red-vision target on Dredd, Dredd bursting through the window is really well done, and him on the ledge, and Judge Death looks great.

the earlier panels look less finished for some reason, but maybe you did that on purpose.

you should make what Judge Death is saying easier to see it kind of blends in right now. otherwise, really cool sequential.

realy like your stuff...the color are awesome!

Hey Flamer,

Overall, not bad. I like the quick painterly feel in your work. Out of the 5 pages, Pages 3-5 really show off your talent. Pages 1 and 2 just seem weak in the style compared to these other pages and not yet complete.

Keep up the work and I hope to see more sometime.

Stylish work, looks dynamic and full of energy and life. I like the last 2 panels best, and I want too see more of that badass-looking Judge Death!:cool:

[Caimano]

Good! I love the colours a lot...SBAM they're a shot of energy...Do some of you thinking UK is a grey place?;)

[flamer]

cheers all for the comments, I agree that it gets better as it goes along.
hopefully I will have time to do something else soon.
UK a bit grey? It's getting there! I hate winter.....

[Virginie!]

[Krosis]
