What do you think of my comic?

Blatantly advertise your comic here. One post/bump per month allowed.
Forum rules
Self-Promotion Rules

    1) You may make ONE thread per comic. Not a new thread every month, not a new thread every bump, not a new thread for each author of the comic. ONE thread. That's it.

    2) You may bump once a month. A "bump" is when you post in your own thread in order to send it to the top of the topic listings. The initial topic, updates, news, contests, and all other types of promotional information count as bumps. Also, if your comic has multiple authors, your thread is not entitled to multiple bumps (i.e. one from each author).

    3) One conversational response per day. You may make one post per day in response to new comments left by visitors to your thread. Again, if your comic has multiple authors, your thread is not entitled to multiple thread responses (i.e. one from each author). If necessary, pick a single spokesperson for your Self-Promotion thread.

Er... It's not much of a comic, just some random drawings. Best to build a bit of archive (and post it on Smackjeeves) and THEN advertise. As it is no one will be interested in your comic because there is no comic, just some random drawings.

Okay. But it's still good, right? Even it was a comic?

We can't judge a non-comic as a comic xP

If you're looking for feedback on your art: No, I don't think it's good. The artwork isn't expressive, and it's difficult to read it. By "read" I don't mean read it like a book, but rather understand what is being shown and communicated. I think you should step back and study the basics of drawing. The "boring" things like anatomy, perspective, colour, etc. Even if you want to stylize your work very heavily, knowing the foundations will help you greatly because you'll learn why and how stylization works.

It's good that you're not shying away from showing your characters' environments, but I think you'll be able to do much more and much better if you take some time to study the foundations.
Busy, busy.

What? I tried my best to draw, and some people still said my art is terrible? How is my art bad? What makes my characters looked terrible, because this hatred of my work must be done now.

My apologies. Just give me some examples on what makes the characters look awesome.

Well, if you want feedback, your characters look like little more than glorified stickmen. There was obviously no reference used for the scenes. I would suggest drawing from life a little more, learning structure, anatomy, and perspective. There are a zillion zillion books and websites that can help you with that. (I learned a lot from http://conceptart.org/forums/ but they are very tough on you there, being full of professionals and all) And no one "hates" your artwork. If you think you can grow some thick skin take your butt over to the creative showcase and ask for critiques there. I don't think the Admins like us to do too much critiquing and stuff on the self promotion thread.

Thanks. The anatomy thing, I thought I had to make the characters a little bit more "cartoon-ish" for anime, but I'll try my best on some of the parts. (I could change the shape of arms, legs and torso , I hope.)

And I'm glad not everybody hates my work. I guess they're just trolling, or something.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback.
