Gurt the Valkyrie

I’ve been developing a new all-ages comic called Gurt the Valkyrie. Its about a Valkyrie that comes to Midgard to experience life in the human world, and ends up trying to navigate high school in New Jersey while she battles frost giants and mythical creatures. This cover was drawn in pencil and then colored with procreate. I’m testing a compact black-and-white format for the interior pages. Tell me what you think, thanks for looking.

[OC] Please rate the character from my comic that I just started working on.

This character is named Tikhon—a Russian name, given that the story initially unfolds in Russia. Since childhood, he has been subjected to experimental serums that granted him incredible strength but also resulted in extremely low intelligence. The comic tells the story of a group of people who escape from a shelter and encounter a dangerous outside world.

Looking for critique on my first action/horror sequence

Snippet from my Ai comic Manifest. I know that’s a dealbreaker for some people, but I’m mainly looking for feedback on the comic itself.

This is my first real action sequence, so I’m mostly curious how it reads. Does the buildup work? Is the action easy to follow?

Also open to feedback on the panel flow, framing, poses, SFX, pacing, or anything that feels confusing or could be made more dynamic. All feedback is welcome! Positive or negative :)

Panel draft

This is a draft for a panel of a comic I'm working on. This is the most bare bones version of it, without coloring or shading. Just the line art and dialogue. From all of these elements, what do you think stands out? What do you think is good and what do you think needs work?

Do these three random pages from my comic look good? I feel like there's something missing/off about them

Hello! I am an aspiring artist who is looking to gain feedback and improve as well as hopefully share some good stories! Here is the beginning of my new project, virmaan:

“An ancient India-inspired fantasy land ruled by protectors known as the Rakmaan. Our two protagonists undertake a journey to complete the daunting trials needed to become a Rakmaan and discover what it truly costs to be a real protector.”

Let me know what you think!

Another Snippet of my Ai Comic, Manifest

Here’s a snippet of my comic that focuses on a hiking adventure with our main characters. One of my main focuses for this section was making the panels feel more fluid, alive, and fun to look at and read. I’ve been trying to apply some of the feedback I’ve gotten from previous posts as I go.

I write the story and dialogue, then use character sheets, environment references, and detailed prompts to create each panel before putting everything together in Strip Designer.

I’m still using AI for the artwork, so I already know that’s gonna be a problem for some people. But if you can look past that, I’m mainly looking for feedback on the storytelling, pacing, dialogue, paneling, and readability. All feedback is welcome, positive or negative :)

Edit: Only thing Ai does is generate images! I do paneling, dialogue, and everything else.

Submissions: Should consecutive art pages be sent with or without lettering?

3 Upvotes

Every publisher wants to have consecutive art pages submitted (of course), but should I be sending just the raw art itself or the completed page with lettering. Do they not tend to care? Thanks in advance!

Looking for critique on my script

I’ve been writing a script for a short 15-16 page prequel comic for a comic series I’m looking to create in order to improve my writing skills and work on smaller projects before committing to my main idea. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to look it over and give me critique on my writing, as I’d appreciate the help.

For context, my story is set in an alternate history 1978 where ww2 went on for ten years longer, ending in 1955, though this particular comic is set in 1963.

I made a few comic strips and would really appreciate your feedback, please!

This is a comic strip series I created that had been on hiatus since 2014. In 2022, I started reworking it, and a lot has changed since then. It stayed in the drawer for a while, but at the end of last year, I decided to pick it up again. I created a Christmas arc and shared it with a few close friends, and then I stopped to think about whether it would really be worth bringing the series back.

I wrote this short arc a few months ago and recently finished it. I haven't shown it to anyone yet, so you’re actually seeing it for the first time.

I'd love to hear your honest opinions on everything: the artwork, the dialogue, what I could improve, the strengths and weaknesses, and the series overall. I sincerely hope I can count on the community's feedback.
