I'm still super fried on doing comics, but this one went along alright. There was one point halfway through coloring that I got really exhausted and almost deleted the whole file, but I kept playing around and eventually got somewhere I was content. Like the Lightning image this was done using 'traidtional' painting, not gradients like I've been doing. This takes longer, which is why the first and third panel are so sparse. I don't dislike the sparse look though . . . sometimes. 

I made this becuse I have a Holiday rule. If a Holiday comes up, I HAVE to make something about it. Major holidays for sure, lesser holidays maybe. Not sure what I'd do for Boxing Day. 

What do you think about the sparse coloring in the first and third panel? Is that enough for you guys? If it is, I actually could produce a lot more in terms of comics. Maybe that's the compromise. I'll make comics as long as people understand they'll only be getting flat colors with light accents. Hmmmm. Thinks to think about. 

Also, I'm thankful for all of you idiots who support me. If it weren't for you I'd still be working at my dead-end, back-breaking factory job moving boxes until they figure out a robot who can do it cheaper. I really can't believe I've managed to make a small living doing this.

As far as i'm concerned the first and third images are fine like they are since they are mainly story, and even if having them done fully would be nice it didn't bother me at all the way they are.<br>The only thing i did notice is that the characters have some purple color in there eyes that looks a bit weird in the first and 3rd image. but apart from that it looks great to me.<br>If it's easier for you this way then go for it.

I've always used purple to color the whites of eyes because I don't like how black looks. Maybe I should play around with that and find something that reads better.

I think the gradients are absolutely fine, your art is great and any means of getting your awesome comics is fine by me

I think the combination of styles works, since we don't really need high res images to convey the small panels and story here - they are still nice and work fine - maybe you can split comic commissions into groups, altering price depending on the number of detailed panels - the juxtaposition of the styles actually works nice - and if it's easier for you then go for it - I do agree with ophis, the purple in their eyes drew my attention as an odd aspect - otherwise, great as always!

That's "king idiot" to you, Marky! 8) As far as comics go, do what you feel won't be a burden on you. There's no point if you feel like Sisyphus hauling up his legendary boulder. Personally, I think this is a good middle ground. The flat colors look just fine to me.

well it's not so much the color that bothers me and more the fact in the first image it looks like it's overlapping stuff it shouldn't, like the iris and the inner corner of the eye (don't know what it's called). After it might just be me seeing things. Still a great pic.

I think my previous comment disapered, then I will just say that for Boxing day the girl in a box and the dick in a box will work fine, keep it up Marky, glad to be an idiot ^^

Thanks Ace. I actually saw your first comment in my email notifications, but it didn't appear on this site for some reason. Glitches i guess. I'm already looking forward to Boxing Day because I will be making the picture.
