I belive these lovley Icons celebrate my joy.
I did It! I made the first page of the Comic! (and at this rate if I host it on Comic Genisis, I'll have to add the HightWol drop down menu.)
Click to enlarge. it may be a little crappy now, but it will deffenetly get better.
and now an icon to sum up my feelings now

Great icons. My personal favorite is the markers one; it's pretty and amusing but not distracting.
I look forward to your next strip.

I like it because the people in the pictures look like they're 3-d and that concept amuses me. Can't wait to see more!

That's quite the dramatic opening. I look forward to seeing more.

BTW, I also found a very nice way to shade
I hope you like the shading touch I added.

This look interesting, it doesn't have the corny starting strips that almost every other webcomic seems to have. Keep it up man

Let's see, I take that comment as is.... or I forward it to about every every comic artist I know...
Thanks. Next up is a Full dynamic looking apge, so I'll be playing around in Paint.NET again WEE!!!!
BTW, is it worth the money to get a drawing tablet for the PC?

Go ahead, maybe it'll stop new comics starting off badly
And it depends, i have only used mine once, but i'm not making a comic either. for some things, it's a godsend, but i still find myself going back to the mouse for certain things. the problem with tablets is getting used to the lack of friction you normally get from a pen or pencil on paper. otherwise, go for it. i got mine for 100 bucks on ebay, works great.

I still preffer a pencil and a pen...just pencil them and *Carefully* Ink it with a pen..
NOTE: I haven't used or even touched a tablet so..i dont know what it feels like.

Intreaguing comic, I fully expect to enjoy it when it gets going (not saying I'm not enjoying it now, just that you can't really get a feel for a comic until there are about a dozen strips for it)
I will, however, say that you might want to work on your colouring. As I said elsewhere, you're naturally going to improve due to working on the comic, but... The little white specs is the biggest weakness of the comic for me.

Ok... I have officially become good enough in Paint.NET that I know how to do just about anything you Photoshop and Gimp Losers can do *nener nener neeenner*
Easy Shading using Layers and Multply setting = $0
Ability to create Grass and starfields = $0
Ability to take a RL image of a Brick wall, re size it to fit, and then move it a layer down, then use the magic wand and make a section see through revealing the brickwall = $0
Awesome glow effect that I will most DEFFENITLY use more often = $0
Having a perfectly free program with all the cabalbilities of Photoshop and GIMP that's easy to use and you don't have to Limewire to get = Priceless
Screw photshop, Screw GIMP, screw PSP, I have PDN!
anyway, Rant done, here's Page three.
