Wow, is all I can say.

You should be proud of this. Not only do you know what you're doing inking-wise, but the way you're using sequential panels, the way fill your frames to tell your story would make Scott McCloud proud.

And story-wise, this is pretty impressive. It's nice to see something on FA besides pr0n art and I'm glad I opened up FA in time to catch this.

Thanks, but perhaps the wonders of Photoshop made me appear more skilled than I actually am. Filling my frames? That's a new description, I'll have to think about it.

I've found there are plenty of comics and such around the site. They're just not easily found from the main page. :P

That's what it's there for Besides, knowing how to use it right is a skill in itself

Filling my frames? That's a new description, I'll have to think about it.

Just to explain that a touch more (and to use a lot of movie metaphors), I mean your choice & succession of 'camera' angles, the way you compose each panel's content and the tension between the panels' borders and their contents. For instance panels 7 and 8 are the same 'shot,' but your protagonist is missing in # 7; in #8 his head is just entering the frame while the Symbol has turned his head slightly. You 'cut' to a different angle in #9 & 10 that show your protagonist has moved closer to the bed and sat down again, then back to a closer version of the previous angle and - jeez, I just noticed there's no background in the last two panels, the better to focus attention on your protagonist and that creepy puddle.

You're more skilled than you think you are.

Ah, I see what you mean. In my defense, I consider those things basic enough to not be praiseworthy. *smiles* But, thanks anyhow.

The ending is pure classic as well...the look on his face :3

I'm proud of the last two faces. :)

Beautiful ink job. Color me impressed.

Thanks, but you would be less impressed if you saw the uneven tone on the originals.

You can still see the uneven ink tone a little. Still, who cares. This is interesting AND impressive.

Thanks! I aspire to many im- and in- words.

Your faces are getting really nice! And how can I help but adore the humor in this one. :)

Yay!

I really like this shading style here. The deep shadows give the scene an eery feeling, like having a floodlight thrown into a dark room. The way you realized mr. cardiovascular system is cool, too- depicting a silhouette over the white bed. I may be reading too much into the symbolism (hrm) but it seems like a reconsideration of bed-wetting night-terrors, just more psychological and spooky.

Thanks! The association was indeed intended. :)
