I have to tell you man, I really like your style and the fact that you accept reviews wholeheartedly but this was just one of the few pieces of work you've made that I really wasn't too much of a fan of. In all aspects, it's a pretty decent comic (hence the rating) and I did get the joke, I just didn't quite see it as funny. Still, good job.

Thanks for the feedback! I can appreciate that. Sometimes they land and sometimes they don't!

My review

The art itself is basic, the backgrounds are sketchy, the colours are blocked and there isn't much visual skill shown.

after seeing a lot of your artwork come into the art portal, i can say that seeing the same images with slight alterations *like eyes, paws moved and added objects* really seems rather feeble, its like posting a piece of artwork and then posting the same one again the next day with a different coloured hat.

my main focus is on the art itself not the text to go with it. i would much prefer to see new artwork for each strip rather then duplicated pictures. i can understand if you are a busy guy and haven't got much time to put into this, but is drawing each frame from scratch to much to ask?

this is my honest review about your comic strips... it may seem harsh but i feel it is a fair point.

WaldFlieger responds:

Thanks for the review! Not harsh at all. If this was meant as an art piece without text or narrative or humor I'd definitely agree with you wholeheartedly. Although I suppose it could be argued even then that perhaps the minimalist approach would be some kind of "commentary" on art or something. Otherwise why make hundreds of these art pieces? There'd have to be some purpose or point or else it would just be an exercise in monotony.

Fortunately for me, I am only using this art to serve a larger context. But since you don't feel inclined to review "that part" of the work, I won't get into that.
