Best of luck to you!

Thanks much my friend! I appreciate it!

You're welcome! =D

The hardest part of any story is to convey what the author sees. Adjectives and adverbs are some of the best writing elements to help this. Comparing my earlier works with how I write now... wow, there is definitely a difference when describing things.

Thank you for sharing. And yes, I agree with you 100%!

It will depend on how you're telling these stories. Good writing practice will help in all formats. Be sure to read as well, learn from what you have around. The more well read the author, the more they have at their disposal to paint wonderful worlds with their words.

Another important thing is to double check your spelling and grammar. With a little proofreading, a story often becomes easier to read and more enjoyable. A poorly constructed sentence will be painful to read and will make even the best stories pointless.

If you choose to do another comic, it would help to use drafting techniques to get cleaner lines, especially for backgrounds and items. A straight edge is your best friend. French curves are particularly useful as well. Clean lines can also be thinner and will often allow for better detailing.

Thanks a whole lot. I appreciate all of the information! I will try to improve myself in both art and writing.

All I'll do for now is wish you the best for your new projects. :)

As for criticism, I suggest that when "Duel" is finished, you invite criticism of the story as a whole in your description of the final piece. Under normal circumstances, I'm happy to offer my ideas about art, stories, and music if the artist is looking for it, but I don't usually do that on FA because almost no one here is interested in critique or feedback, and many people chafe when they receive it. (And in a couple of cases where the artist did ask for feedback, I was attacked by the artists' fans, instead. :P ) So, the reminder will serve as an explicit invitation for us to help you out. I promise that I'm polite and very supportive when I give critique! I'm an artist, too. (Even though I suck. :P )

I look forward to seeing what you have in store for all of us!

Thanks alot my friend!

I understand that some take helpful advice the wrong way and think they're being "flamed". But as a person that has received true flaming, quote "Quit raping the paper with your art!" enquote, I don't think we'll have a problem. I appreciate any and all helpful advice and tips that you or anyone else is willing to share.
