[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/Cover.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE][B]Maskmakers From Uddavalla is a comic about two young entrepreneurs specialized in the art of creating and selling hand-made masks in their small nothern-european hometown, Uddavalla. Unfortunately the residents in the town aren't all as fascinated by the art of maskery as them, and thus business can get tough.[/B][/QUOTE] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page1.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page2.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page3-5.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page3.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page4.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page5.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page6.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page7.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page8.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page9.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page10.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page11.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page11-5.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page12.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page14.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page14-5.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page15.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page16.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page17.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page18.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page19.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page20.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page21.jpg[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/756569/page22.jpg[/THUMB]
Not bad, I liked it! A little on the verbose side though
[QUOTE=jenny7332;35634772]Not bad, I liked it! A little on the verbose side though[/QUOTE] Thanks! Yes I agree. I'll keep that in mind. I appreciate the criticism
Oh yeah, all the panels look quite similar tonally. The comic could benefit from darker and lighter tones in places, right now there are like 4 tones. It looks like everyone's wearing the same colour clothes since they are all one tone.

This was our first attempt at a comic so I really appreciate any criticism I can get. Glad you still liked it though!
Could anyone who reads this please a least eate it honestly? Feel free to say if you hate it and think it's terrible. As I said it was our first try! I thought it would automerge.. Sorry, I'm really inexperienced.
I actually really liked it. It did ramble at points and there were one or two jokes that tried a bit hard, but overall it made chuckle. Especially the "selling face" one, nice and subtle.
Curious question: why "Uddavalla"? is it a gimmick of the swedish town called Uddevalla? Are you perhaps from Uddevalla? Is this an inspirational story from your own life?

Originally we called it "Maskmakers from Uddevalla" because we imagine Uddevalla to be a sort of depressing small town which is unfit for a mask-based industry. Then we decided to call it "Uddavalla" instead.. You know, "Udda" = Odd in Swedish so it was a bit of a crappy play on words there. Yes it's actually a self-insert! I'm a mask salesman. Maybe I should rename it to "So You Are A Masksalesman?"

I live a good distance away from it, but I travel by train to Gothenburg and sometimes travel through it. And I never noticed the "Udda" pun up until now, and I like it. Med vänliga hälsningar.
