Well i'm sure that a hand full of people with that size can be useful in construction, to defend the city or help on a accident or catastrophe or something.
Of course they need to learn first to NOT crush anything, regardless if accidently or on purpose, when they walk the streets. XD

As I said on twitter, so happy to see this next page, and of course knowing you, seeing their paws in action. :D Happy, giggly Jackie being cute and innocent, knowing full well later on something or someone will be the next victim for her playful paws. >:3 Max being tough, as expected. Though still surprised to see him actually pay attention to a little trapped under his paw, perhaps playing with them as they witness their friend try to rescue them. No escaping big paws easily like that. :3c And then poor Naomi, always trying to avoid damage, and yet paw prints and cars and debris always end up stuck to her paws. Perhaps she secretly likes stepping on things, who knows. ^_^
But a lovely next page. Can't wait for the next one and where the paws lead us. :D <3

Max is being a troll, as usual. Naomi is still a klutz, not yet in full control of her new size. Jackie is just throwing her charm around until someone catches her attention XD
I took great care to create a cast of characters that each sees their size in a different light. These four macros will make life in this city very interesting in the coming days... hehe
Kimberly isn't with them right now. We'll be seeing what she is up to next page!

I cannot handle this girl, words cannot begin to describe the overwhelming cute factor she has....just the first picture alone is all I needed to see. π
Speaking of seeing something, her face is the one I actually want to see in my window like that.
Can imagine her lovely bun tail waving around in the second picture to show how happy she is at that very moment.

I know her friends are there, but it is more than obvious who the real star of the show is. How could anyone look at that face and hate it? πππππ
Something new I just noticed is how there is someone right next to her foot... if only that person could be me so I can wish her a good morning (or whatever time it happens to be).
And if that happened to be me in that situation, then I would want to follow her to this park she is talking about so I can meet her again... maybe if I am lucky, I can get a nice big "autograph" from her.
What I imagined when looking at the second picture was not only her tail waving around, but the gentle sound of a bell as she does so and a cutesy, doll-like voice purported to be her own.
The way you create cityscapes is another thing that amazes me.

I can't wait for that part to happen, it may become my new favorite. π
What I really can't wait for is another moment of her doing something real cutesy with her feet/toes like in the page that came before this one; that is all you need to have my interest set at 100 percent.
Never would have guessed this is how you made your cities look so good... I thought they were inspired by places you have been or what you see outside your window at the very least. And I was about to say this on an older picture of yours (not knowing you were posting this one) but it fits perfectly here: I love how these cities look almost like CGI.
Wonder what my other girl is doing right now.

Too bad I can't make paws the focus of every single page. Very hard to tell a story like that. Otherwise, I'd be happy to! XD
I am glad you like my cities so much, we'll be seeing a lot of it in future pages!
As for your other girl... She is the star of the next page...

As exciting as it would be to have you make it all about paws, (especially her's!) I can understand because you want the actual story to be good over everything else.
Since the premiere of the last page, I am crazy in love with the way her toes articulate; how they spread out so majestic in the sunlight only to be gifted to Alex in the form of a massive toe hug, carried up to her angel-like face and hearing those positive words... he should learn to appreciate this wonderful experience as it may be the best way he was ever treated.
Wish I could give you an award for creating that page, considering there had not been anything like it that existed before (or at least done as beautifully as yours) and proving that you belong with the few artists who draw some of the most appealing bunny paws in history.
Just the fact you can depict a city like this is another accomplishment worth noticing as it is another rare thing to have this near-realistic feeling to them in a furry comic; it makes the story feel more like an [animated] production.
This is good news because I think she is the attractive villainess who knows every trick in the book to play her enemies like a violin, where I may soon find out this is what her character is all about.

Thanks, man! I am glad you're having this much fun! I am happy to hear you compare the visual look of my pages to an animated production. That is precisely the look I am going for: High detail backgrounds with simplified cell-shaded characters.
As for Kim being a villainess... We'll find out if you're right...

Yes you are so very welcome; I think it is a blessing this comic exists and I have found it at a good time because you created a formula that really works: an amazing art style, characters with personality, a story that holds interest, and the bonus of beautiful paws.
The fact you want to have a conversation about it is another thing that brings me back.
Page 7 might have been the part that made me fall in love with the Homegirl Jackie, but the current page is where you excel with your city drawing skills... I see a big difference from Page 2 up to now in seeing how your art direction changed (matching art style for the cityscapes with darker lines for everything vs. CGI-like art for the city/cars and all with refined outlines).
Not something you have to do, but I really suggest it: in whatever free time you have/want to dedicate, remaster parts of the older pages so it all has one uniform style (for example make Jackie's paws at the end of Page 6 look more like they do in all of Page 7, as the ones there have better detail/more articulated look despite being drawn in smaller pictures because I noticed a difference in their appearance).
I am so excited for this park scene, thinking it might just be the spiritual successor to Page 7 I am looking for, where my girl does something so talented/pretty with her paws that it might just become my new favorite work of furry art.
Here comes another theory, but I think Alex and Kim have ambitions almost one in the same or they may be[come] allies. From Page 0 it was implied what is happening right now was all because of something she did and with him, he works for this facility so he knows some secrets that I feel she wants in on. If the allied theory is correct, one may try to screw over the other for personal gain or if they work as a team, they might try to weaponize something from the facility with the intent of becoming dictators (I can see a megalomaniac personality hiding within the two them screaming to get out!) π
More of a fantasy than an actual theory, but it would be dope if after they succeed/made their plans visible before they do, Jackie has a change in character because her heart is broken from the [potential] dehumanization of all those innocent people and becomes the hero who would proudly end their reign of terror... Kim may be another giant but she is the little monster in all this.
The fact that I am someone who has so little free time and is not very involved with this "community" that much anymore, is typing all of this out for you is proof you did something special~

I think you are officially the most invested reader of this comic ever! hahahahaahha
Yes, I do plan on going back and fixing a few things to make the whole experience more organic and standardized. I should probably mention that I am not a professional artist yet. Part of the reason behind SHIBI existing is so I can get more drawing practise and learn faster. The rapid changes and improvement you are seeing is all because I am still learning art and finding my style as I go along and I am learning kinda fast, so it changes quite a bit.
And I absolutely love reading your theories. Since I know exactly what is going down and what is coming, it is absolutely delightful to see how cold or warm you are to the truth. Of course, I can't confirm anything until it happens hehehe XD

I may have developed something of an obsession; please send help. π©
To be real, it has awaken both the child and literary genius inside of me at the same time.
Just by that simple confirmation I am satisfied because it shows to me how dedicated you are to improving on your work. And to reinforce what you told me right now, I want that because it helps make the entire project look more professional/presentable. From what I am getting at, your comic has a positive reception and it deserves to be successful. You know exactly what you want to do with it, and that by itself is a professional standard.
Here are a few things that came to mind, meriting a second thought about how they are to be implemented in the final product:
Using my favorite example of Page 7, a good place to start with visual improvement is by adding some fur texture to the pictures where Jackie's toes are shown close up so to bring home the feeling of how plush they look with Alex being hugged by them.
At the very least in Page 4, Alex should have an extra line of dialogue that gives the smallest hint at him having powers, or at the most, there being a Page 4.5 (or it being the new Page 5 and changing the number sequence altogether) where he walks off and has a monologue talking about what he might have experienced before and hinting at these [supposed] powers of his.
Considering you were able to share with me that is the case with him in a response, proves this is something the reader needs to know about him this early in the story, with the reasoning as to where they came from/how they work not being revealed until much later in the storyline.
Maybe you should consider inserting half-pages as supplemental information? Again, not something you have to do, but I would love a Page 7.5 that continues the scene of Page 7 with the conversation of Alex and Jackie, making reference to the upcoming park scene, the events of Page 8, or even hinting at something yet to come.
This other revelation you made about Page 5, may constitute additional pictures visualizing what you said as being canon.
Not sure if we will ever see the narrator's text (as in Page 1) again, but there are two pages that I, myself would have used them if I was the author.
And this is regarding the ones with a serious tone; those with a sense of humor (that can also be added) brings the grand total to [at least] five.
Making this super clear for you, none of what I am saying here is an insult/attack on your work, but rather words of encouragement as to where the improvements can be made or what art/story direction is the best to take.
And I very much enjoy leaving these theories for you to read... seeing how you will never tell me your secrets, the best I can do to counter that is to show you how I think.

Wow, there is a lot to tackle here! Thank you for taking the time to give me this level of feedback, I truly appreciate that! Criticism is always welcome.
" ...a good place to start with visual improvement is by adding some fur texture to the pictures where Jackie's toes are shown close up..."
My use of textures is limited exclusively to background elements and certain articles of clothing, never the characters themselves. This is to maintain the animation cell aesthetic style. Perhaps the best approach could be to draw the fur in more detail.
"At the very least in Page 4, Alex should have an extra line of dialogue that gives the smallest hint at him having powers. [...] Maybe you should consider inserting half-pages as supplemental information?"
I hint at this on page #3, at Alex's introduction box. The infinite lives part. There are detailed character profiles in the works that will clarify some characteristics and traits of each one of them. After the park scene, I will have introduced all the important elements people need to know about the story, then we begin Chapter #1. However, in Chapter #2, I plan on going into more detail regarding TITAN, their role in this whole mess and the introduction of some of the story's antagonists and other complications. A few lore pages here and there too, about stuff that doesn't really fit into the main narrative but that people might want to know.
"Not sure if we will ever see the narrator's text (as in Page 1) again"
The narrator probably won't appear much throughout the run of the comic. It was there just to provide some additional context. I will only call upon the narrator again if what I am trying to show in the page needs more context.
"And I very much enjoy leaving these theories for you to read... seeing how you will never tell me your secrets, the best I can do to counter that is to show you how I think."
And I very much enjoy reading them! Keep them coming whenever you think of something. It is a fun game! I get to amuse myself with what you get right or wrong and you get to find out the true answer as the story moves forward!

Again, you are so very welcome for I have a legitimate passion for what you created here... now is a good time to give an excessive reply because I have the day off today. ππΌ
"My use of textures is limited exclusively to background elements and certain articles of clothing, never the characters themselves. This is to maintain the animation cell aesthetic style.Perhaps the best approach could be to draw the fur in more detail."
You kind of answered your own question at the end of this response and based on it, that is exactly what I want. Not in a realistic, or even semi-realistic way but enough to correlate properly with your art style in creating perspective. A perfect example where it can also be implemented is the end of Page 1 where Kim's tail can be seen up close. Only the part of her tail shown really close has some fur detail and it lessens to nothing as you travel with your eyes all the way up. Can also be applied to some of the cars/characters seen in the foreground.
(Back to Page 7, the pictures of Jackie's toes spread out and the final one where you see all of her can stay the way they are for the detail is implemented the right way; only the parts where Alex is in her toes needs that touch of fur detail to create that perspective/feeling.)
"I hint at this on page #3, at Alex's introduction box. The infinite lives part."
So crazy how I managed to pass over that despite me having studied every page up to this point before going into that [previous] comment so I would at least be informed to some degree. Paid more attention to the art, what the characters were saying, and if there had been any comments/replies that asked a question or given an answer to any missing information. Had to look again because it could also be a reference to his planet-sized ego. :p
Something with potential to provide any form of understanding about him would be cryptic messages hidden in his dialogue, any monologues, or thought clouds to interpret what is going on inside his mind at the moment because I sense he is a master manipulator or just very disturbed.
"There are detailed character profiles in the works that will clarify some characteristics and traits of each one of them [...] A few lore pages here and there too, about stuff that doesn't really fit into the main narrative but that people might want to know."
Am thinking this is how you present the supplemental information I have been wanting for.
"After the park scene, I will have introduced all the important elements people need to know about the story, then we begin Chapter #1. However, in Chapter #2, I plan on going into more detail regarding TITAN, their role in this whole mess and the introduction of some of the story's antagonists and other complications."
Before Page 8 had come out, I was predicting the park scene would be in its place, at the most three more pages come after it, then we have the end of the introductory chapter. And it comes as a surprise you even wanted me to know what I can expect in the coming chapters. Now it appears less like a comic book and more like a play; think about it, the chapters are acts, the pages are scenes, and you presented me with a virtual playbook of how it is organized.
Saving this for another comment, but I have a new theory as to what the entire story might just be about; I know you are not going to tell me what it really is, but I have a feeling what I have is close, considering you filled in a few tiny missing pieces for me.
Thinking the big mystery here is discovering what exactly SHIBI is, because TITAN is mentioned but never SHIBI.
"The narrator probably won't appear much throughout the run of the comic. It was there just to provide some additional context. I will only call upon the narrator again if what I am trying to show in the page needs more context."
Just me again playing "what if I were the author" seeing I would have gone absolutely mad with that feature to make fun of characters' misfortunes and to transform the experience into a mockumentary. π€£ In all seriousness, I believe it could have been a very useful thing to include in there to make the story feel more like a modern day fairy tale or even revealed as a character who experienced all these events in their lifetime. Kind of a weird thing for me to say but I love heavy duty storytelling.
These are the last [three] questions/comments I have to say about this set of pages: (until you create a new one)
I did mention Page 5 in my last response, and coming back to it, I feel like everything in it could be part of another page (changing the sequence altogether) or better yet, add a few more pictures to illustrate the remote operating/activating of the police car... not something you really have to do but I feel it needs to be there because that is a very open-ended depiction.
In Page 2 when we meet the fox and raccoon characters, are we going to see them again? You did present them like important characters but I don't have any idea what part they are going to play in the rest of the story. All I can think of is that the news agency they belong to is going to report on what is happening and when Kim goes on a rampage, those two are about to be the very first targets on her list assuming they are deserving of her anger again.
Jackie gets the biggest introduction and is shown the most often next to Alex, wondering if this is because she is your favorite character or her part in the story becomes very important so you want the reader to be this familiar with her so early?
"And I very much enjoy reading them! Keep them coming whenever you think of something. It is a fun game! I get to amuse myself with what you get right or wrong and you get to find out the true answer as the story moves forward!"
The reason why I want you to continue making more of this gold... I don't know what kind of sorcery you used to create all this but I need to see so much more of your magic.
I present to you the craziest of my replies.

All I can think of is that the news agency they belong to is going to report on what is happening and when Kim goes on a rampage, those two are about to be the very first targets on her list assuming they are deserving of her anger again.
Jackie gets the biggest introduction and is shown the most often next to Alex, wondering if this is because she is your favorite character or her part in the story becomes very important so you want the reader to be this familiar with her so early?
"And I very much enjoy reading them! Keep them coming whenever you think of something. It is a fun game! I get to amuse myself with what you get right or wrong and you get to find out the true answer as the story moves forward!"
The reason why I want you to continue making more of this gold... I don't know what kind of sorcery you used to create all this but I need to see so much more of your magic.
I present to you the craziest of my replies.
That would be absolutely fantastic! I would be able to get a lot more done in much less time. Probably have a lot more fun during the process too, as I would be able to implement so many more ideas faster! Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who can offer me this kind of help for free. If I had the means to pay someone to help me, I would have already offered the gig to someone skilled.
But even by myself, I do enjoy all the steps of the work involved.

Well, it doesn't sit right with me to ask someone for help in such a long time commitment without having anything to offer in return besides credit in the description.
If I ever have some way of giving back to them for their efforts, I might advertise the position.
