In all seriousness, though, when you make cartoons, even graphic novel-esque ones, you have to put a limit on how much dialogue is in each panel and speech bubble. Simply put, there's too much here. Way too much.
Readers, for the most part, would rather see a story unfold in smaller bits a little at a time, and it draws them away from reading certain parts of it. Large texts literally make people shy away from reading the whole thing.
I know you want to make your drawings last as long as you can for the effort you put into it ( I know, too ) but that's just the nature of the Cartooning beast: Each panel is a new picture, and it takes a lot of them to convey motion and the MOTION THROUGH TIME!!! Aaaahhh...
This should be around ten or more panels here, not four. Unless it's a joke about the dialogue itself...which is a very real thing. Add in that and some perception practice and you can't be touched.
Plus, a character's emotion in what is called "comic time" represents only the last words he says, so if you have multiple emotions displayed in a single box, and only one can be shown, then other emotions are discarded, making harder to connect to the character.
Just offering some advice.
I promise that my readers want to see this. If you look at older comics, there are people who often want MORE dialogue. Simply put, you're wrong. To each his own and I appreciate the input but I do things how I want and people like it. It's my style, it's what I do and people (besides you, it seems) like it. I like leaving a lot up to the person, too. Maybe because I'm making an actual story and not a picturebook. Every person picks their own style, and this is mine. If you don't like it, don't read it :3
Seriously, I've seen you leave a few comments and they're all negative. I appreciate constructive criticism but just having nothing but negative things to say is irritating to say the least.
GET OUT OF HERE S.T.A.L.K.E.R!
And i have to say i love the subtle fur effects you do for the fur very very convincing
