Ya might be better off linking those, cuz.

This is a pretty good sprite comic. :D Just a few quirks, though. Your panels aren't evenly placed and the lines that divide them aren't thick enough. It might be better to give the boxes black borders but have a little space between each one, say about 2 or 3 pixels thick for both the borders and the spaces. It's so much neater that way and looks a lot better. (Trust me, if I don't point this out someone else will. And you don't want it to be someone who's easily angered by things like this...) Might be better to only show what's needed in your frames too. (eg. in comic #3, the last two frames could be cut a bit at the top because there's no need to see the trees again- they aren't important anymore now that we've seen the ship explode)

It's also hard to read the red text in the first box in the first comic. Maybe you could put it in a speech bubble with no 'pointy thing' and fill it with a creamish colour so you can't confuse it with a normal speech bubble, like in the 4th comic. You can't read the 'insanity' in 'Shadow Insanity' at the top of the comics either- I'd use the same font that 'Shadow' uses at least.

I suggest putting the name and number of each comic in the top right side of the image for easy 'navigation' if someone is looking at them. And Tom Bone further to the right where it is. Might wanna add something like 'Idea (C)' there too. x3 [/personal preference because Tekirai is a nutcase]

Also, the quality in #3 is scary. D: I would fix that if you can. Otherwise, it's very good! ^^ Keep it up!

Sprite comics are what you would call an 'odd job' for someone like me. But I'm an odd person. Hahahaha. o_o;;;

Thanks for the constructive critisism (sp?). I realize that the comic quality isn't as good as it shoulb be, but I just want people to focus on the comic itself; not the way it's constructed. Though I thank you for paying close attention to details. And I really don't know what happened with 3. I kept saving it as a .png but it kept coming out as a .jpeg for some reason....weird...and to everyone else, thanks for the comments!

I just know the hows and whys of sprite comics. xP Your content's great- hence why I didn't talk much about it. If you were to show this to a large community, especially those with good sprite comic makers, those would be the things they would mention to you. *coughSerebiicough*

Just sayin'~ ;3 Otherwise you're doing just fine. Loved the new additions. <3

[Rail Runner offline]

I like the second part as well...good stuff. Keep up the good work.

[Phoenix Wolf offline]

Yeah I love it... I thought it was Ausome..

[Taelia offline]

Keep it up! =D These are awesome!

[Phoenix Wolf offline]

I most definately agree...

Thanks for the comments everyone! This really does wonders for my self esteem! There will be more Shadow Insanity up nest weekend because I do the comic at my dad's house and I have some sprites that I've saved at my mom's house that, for some reason, I can't find online anymore. So once I email those sprites to myself, I can save them to my Dad's computer next weekend. So, see you then! Luckily I have working on my Sonic Heroes spoof movie to keep me occupied unitl then!
