You know, Skiff, I've been in this little community for quite some time- just as one earmarker, I was a regular visitor on the Process site since before the rollovers- back when the site address still ended in /~tdaniels/. I've seen a lot of great artists come and go (more of the latter than the former, sadly) and I've honestly gotta say you're one of the most promising artists I've seen in quite some time. Your art isn't quite there yet, but you're improving and willing to take criticisims and apply them to your work, which is a big plus. Also, you've got a solid base already from the looks of it, and at least half a brain to boot, which is more of a rarity in the sea of "omg i liek the boobz lolz" that I'd like to admit.

Patience, Persistence, and Practice are really all you need. You think a month for an 11-page comic is bad? I scoff at any notion of that being "slow". I've waited patiently for the better part of a year to see the conclusion of sequences shorter than that. Unlike many, I haven't forgotten that some of us still have lives outside our little interests, and I appreciate you doing this on your free time, for free, and sharing with us.

What I'm most interested in seeing is the cleaned-up version of part one. You've shown you've got a modicum of talent in doing comic layouts and dialogue, now the next step is going all-out on the artwork and really shoing us what you can do. I for one can't wait- You're the first process artist whose career I've been so keenly interested in since Litch over at the BE Archive.

Keep up the good work, don't get discouraged by the gimmies, and keep drawing what you like. You've got some real potential and I can't wait to see where it goes.
