Longtime Artist but New to Comics, Looking for Feedback!
Hello!! I've been beginning work on a webcomic for a few months now. I'm wrapping up what I would consider my "test run" of pages, before taking a pause to redo some drafting and other behind the scenes stuff and reassessing my approach as I continue with the chapter.
I'm primarily looking for feedback on how best to balance a greyscale comic (if things are readable or if the values are too muddy), and if the speech bubbles + text feel too "tacked on." But any sort of input or advice would be greatly appreciated!
I'm posting the first fwq pages directly onto the post, but I also have a link to the comicfury hosting site for anyone who might be willing to give what I have so far a more extensive look!

New comic looking for art critique in a nice way haha
Hey everyone I am making a comic I have had this idea for a while but was hoping you’d give your feedback on overall character design and page layout on my first page! If anyone has questions about the characters or anything I’d be happy to answer thanks all! Oh and the second picture was a concept cover I did a while ago

Daegard: Made from Sin #1 Review. What happens when an indie comic tries to cram an entire cosmic myth-opera into 24 pages?
Most debut indie comics play it safe. They decompress, introduce one character, tease a mystery, and hope you come back for the trade paperback in six months.
Daegard: Made from Sin #1 does the exact opposite.
Created by Kathy Irvine with art by Ricardo Jaime (Godslap, Grimstone), this book is an unapologetic, maximalist swing that empties years of worldbuilding onto the page in one breathless issue:
- A slaughtered royal bloodline and an infant survivor
- A warrior society of gargoyles born from gemstones once every 1,000 years
- High-velocity space fantasy mixed with brutal body horror
- A terrifying socio-political metaphor where refugees are used as literal "bio-batteries" for soul-powered machines
It covers what easily could have been a four-issue opening arc, jumping from massacres and philosophical training to anarchist street guides and dystopian uprisings. It has some real indie friction points (especially with pacing and dense lettering), but the ambition and sheer momentum are impossible to ignore.
I wrote an in-depth breakdown covering what makes its lore so fresh, how Ricardo Jaime’s visuals carry the weight, and where it challenges the reader.
Full review on Substack.
Curious to hear from anyone else following Centarri Games' universe. how do you feel about debut issues that swing for the absolute fences versus slow-burn setups?

Action Page - How Does The Movement Read?
Action page from my comic Manifest. Most of my pages so far have been dialogue-heavy, so this is my first real attempt at a fight sequence.
Mainly looking for feedback on the panel flow, sense of movement, and impact. Does character rushing in and swinging the bat read clearly at a glance? Anything you’d change?

2 pages I made to get better at drawing comic-book environments
Here are 2 pages I made to get better at drawing backgrounds in comics. I tried to make them look like pages for a potential horror comic in the veins of films like "Wrong Turn" and "Jeepers Creepers".
This time I used a solid pen (The soft dip pen in Ibis Paint) unlike my previous works in which I used a lighter pen, in order to avoid making the art blurry. Just used the airbrush for the "Vroom!" sound effect.
What areas do I need to improve upon to draw better backgrounds? And also make the comic feel more atmospheric?

[OC] I drew another character from my comic.
This character's name is Sasha and the whole story will begin with him.

It would be really kind if someone would like to make some crits on the composition or the drawings
(Srry for my awful english)

Gurt the Valkyrie
I’ve been developing a new all-ages comic called Gurt the Valkyrie. Its about a Valkyrie that comes to Midgard to experience life in the human world, and ends up trying to navigate high school in New Jersey while she battles frost giants and mythical creatures. This cover was drawn in pencil and then colored with procreate. I’m testing a compact black-and-white format for the interior pages. Tell me what you think, thanks for looking.

Would you mind critiquing my comic through this survey?
I am by no means a good artist, but I was hoping you guys could fill out my survey for my media project :) we have to get audience feedback, and for this particular survey i'm focussing on composition. But in future will be asking for other critiques so look out for it! I would appreciate any kind of tips for anything as well.
I would just like to preface by saying I am a year 12 media student with no experience in art except for very rare bursts of drawing with no guidance. I have recieved a few mean responses about my art skills, so I would like to ask you to please be factual and gentle with me. This specific survey focuses on composition and panel flow, I have specifically chosen a few pages with these aspects slightly differing to judge, this is so you judge without being impacted by the story.

[OC] Please rate the character from my comic that I just started working on.
This character is named Tikhon—a Russian name, given that the story initially unfolds in Russia. Since childhood, he has been subjected to experimental serums that granted him incredible strength but also resulted in extremely low intelligence. The comic tells the story of a group of people who escape from a shelter and encounter a dangerous outside world.

Looking for critique on my first action/horror sequence
Snippet from my Ai comic Manifest. I know that’s a dealbreaker for some people, but I’m mainly looking for feedback on the comic itself.
This is my first real action sequence, so I’m mostly curious how it reads. Does the buildup work? Is the action easy to follow?
Also open to feedback on the panel flow, framing, poses, SFX, pacing, or anything that feels confusing or could be made more dynamic. All feedback is welcome! Positive or negative :)

Panel draft
This is a draft for a panel of a comic I'm working on. This is the most bare bones version of it, without coloring or shading. Just the line art and dialogue. From all of these elements, what do you think stands out? What do you think is good and what do you think needs work?
r/comic_crits • u/Arwen_Gardenia3419 • 6d ago
Do these three random pages from my comic look good? I feel like there's something missing/off about them
(Right now I'm just making this for fun)
