Achtung! Sieg Heil!

Meanwhile, Miku's manager puts his head in his hands and wonders just how many people he's going to have to bribe to keep the Vocaloids' secrets under wraps this time... ;)

Anyway, after looking through this thread I must say that I really admire your industriousness, yesterdayshero - you really keep up a prodigous rate of production.

This is pretty solid work, actually. Not sure why you've scrapped it, but I'm sure your story is better for it. Also, critiquing something you've already scrapped is probably not that helpful to you, but I'll do it anyways. Sorry.

Full disclosure: I haven't read anything prior to these pages, so my apologies if there's anything I'm taking out of context.

And again, all this is just my opinion. I could always be wrong.

wolf_wolf_unused_001 (left side)
Panel 1:
Nice touch with the '?' and nice sense of light and shadow. I'd try using darker tones for the interiors seen through the windows, though. It should give the place a bit more depth.

Panel 2:
I realize it's a stylistic choice to not draw the eyes and mouths of your crowd, but they just come across as soulless zombies to me. If that's your intention, great! I wonder, however, if giving this panel an overall tone (maybe 10%) instead of leaving the whites would help pull the overlapping figure of your character a bit further into the foreground.

Panel 3:
Behind the figure - Sky, yes? Sunset? To be honest, a bit more rendering here might be helpful as I'm having trouble reading what that giant orb is.
Figure - I find her neck to be a bit long, but that just might be your stylistic choice. The highlights on her hair seem a bit scattered, with no real sense of where the light is coming from. Such dark shadows within the folds of her jacket as well, I wonder if some of that contrast should be carried up to her hair as well.

Panel 4:
Not entirely sure if this shot of her foot is entirely necessary in sequence. It don't think it really hurts, but it might simplify your layout by taking it out.

wolf_wolf_unused_001 (right side)

Panel 1:
Over the two pages, you have two profile shots of your character, and two dead-on full front shots. Maybe this shot (or the one in Panel 3) could be a 3/4? Add a bit of variety, I mean.

Panel 2:
/shrug. Is good. Well, perspective is a bit wonky, but that seems like another stylistic choice to me.

Panel 3:
Word balloon tail should be pointed more towards her mouth, unless she speaks out of her shoulder. Also, you might want to try avoiding italics in spoken dialogue unless it's meant to emphasize certain words.

Panel 4:
Is good.

Panel 5:
I'm not sure if it'd help by much, but I wonder about breaking up the one word balloon into two or three smaller balloons. Might reflect pauses (and breath) in speech a bit better.

-----------
I'll leave it at that.

Hopefully this helps even if just a little, and hopefully I'm making some sort of sense.

If nothing else, it gives me practice critiquing someone else's work. But that... ...that doesn't really help you, unfortunately.

:sweat:

Thanks~ I scrapped these pages because of story, I intended this story to be a 2 volume but, if I do manage to get a publisher interested, my best bet is a one-shot. Just in case it doesn't sell well at least people who liked the story have it complete. but after your critque I'm glad I scrapped them, I really need to work on backrounds, and anatomy. ugh, I wish I would have started drawing when I was younger, Thanks bro...

Ooh, I like her face. Very cute expression.

though I feel somewhat guilty for saying that since she's questioning the forbidden zone...lol
