Love the graphics
Doesn't need sound, although some people are addicted to that
Reviews for "The Devil's Bones 1"
seems okay
The art is pretty good, but the story was all over the place and the dialog was cliche and shit
but yeah the arts good, work hard on a story and you can put it together nicely
Pretty good!
I'm not really into comics in a swf. If the images are going to be static I'd rather just see them laid out on a webpage. This wasn't too bad though. It was good for what it is. The dialogue was a little cheesy here and there, but the art was pretty nice. My only real question is what's up with the boobie chick? She wears straps that seem to have no purpose but to cover her (clothing) but she only covers one boob. Why is that? I could see if she was going all natural and then I'd reason that's just her way or the way of her people or something.
I could see if she dressed in all straps, she'd be wearing clothing like normal but just expressing a unique fashion sense. But I can't for the life of me figure out why someone would fall in the middle and choose to cover part of it but randomly walk around with an exposed breast. Please explain the character to me.
Hyptosis responds:
Well there is no way to see it right now but all of her people dress with those straps, men and women alike. Similar to how you see some greek or roman clothings have an exposed breast. I originally made them completely nude but thought it looked kinda silly. They're also highly religious although you don't see that yet, easy answer is "They just dress that way." But it is a racial thing, not a personal thing.
Not bad at all...
I usually hate these flash/motion comics because aside from being static; most of them have digitally painted slides that are slowly tweened and are badly written in the dialogue department. On the other hand, you were smart and chose to let people read at their own pace, which is a bonus for various reading speeds. As for the art: still top notch from one of ConceptArt.org's best. You have a knack for great setting selections, and I think people on NG should consider making their own Steampunk/Fantasy flash (although it has happened already). Of course, that takes a backseat to the content: So far, so good. I read the whole thing through, and kudos for not taking the G/PG route. Truth is, if violence is ok in animation, so are sex and swearing as long as it's done right. (And in your case, it was.) You must know a thing or two about story writing, in addition to your already-magnificent. The only problems I have with this are that it could have used some ambient sounds in the background, some small bits of animation to accentuate the panels, and could have been a bit longer.

-Great drawings
-Underused setting
-Original
-Great story and dialogue
-The fact that people can read at their own pace
[-]
-The fact that this is a flash comic
-Could have used some bits of animation for the individual panels, along with ambient sounds.
-Plus, it was a bit short.
Overall: From one CA member to another, here's a seven out of ten.
