its very sketchy, and i personally find that the title is quite week. choosing to use the same prodomiant colors in the logo, and with out giving it a boldness in font our outline, causes it to limp back against the picture, puting forth little if any effort to grab the veiwer, and thus bring a larger interest in what it is your trying to show us. also-and im not sure if this was intentional-everything seems to be bending to the right. not as if the angle of the veiwer is tilted, as the posture of the beast in the foregrounds hands/head and body show a more stable, upright angle. this is rather unsettling, and once again causes the scene to lose what effects it should have to bring interest.

this has a cool feel to it but the title logo is making me cringe. maybe you should reformat the original art and give yourself some room to put the type in. just shoving it in there like that makes it look really awkward, especially with that overlap.

I agree I it is a really good painting but it is the title that weakens the image. It needs more of a werewolf font to it. Here is a good freeware site for fonts http://www.1001freefonts.com you should definetly find a good one there. Also choosing red for a font color in this painting doesnt seem to work. I would try like a transparent white mabye.. experiment with it.

I have to be a btoken record, with everyone and say the title has got to change.
As a side, note, if your pals and you are serious about this comic career thing, I'm assuming you'll be purchasing a domain soon? In which case, I'd personally leave out the current URL. Seeing geocities makes me think poor fan comic kind of thing. And although your quality may be better than that, it is a discouraging thing to read.

Okay .. thank ..
I agree with everyone here .. the font is inappropiate .. it reminds me of some space ship scifi thing & not a fantasy comic.
It is just too cold for a comic I have the feeling.
"Kingdom of darkness" sounds like something which is bound to have been used before ... maybe a different nsme ... maybe something more unusual to let it stand out.
The castle looks cute & tiny compared to the creature.
If it is big .. then it certainly looks as if it is too close.
Id say the creature is finished but maybe add a few more details to the rest & make it gloomier.
What are the three words in red for ?
Stuff far away isnt at all darker than stuff in the foreground .. or blurred were you to use that ... .
I absolutly agree 110% with Interceptor about getting a domain of your own.
raga-arts.com is still available
Just IMO :)

Cant afford to have a domain. We just look for publishers to publish this.
