1) The scanner made the text too small.
2) Nobody's perfect.
3) Their personalities will get more evolved down the storyline.

-Make each picture in your comic different. Having the same character standing in the same position and talking is 'very' boring.
|
He's NOT in the same position. And this is only the first comic. It's more explaining than action, and I will do more action once I get more into the comic.

-Make characters BIG, background SMALL. The character should never fill alike 1/8 of the picture itself, unless you are focusing heavy on the background. The character should fill atleast 1/4 and be in a position and size so you see him/her first
|
Most of the panels are taken up by the speech bubbles in this. I can understand on the last panel, but I can't rally fit him in otherwise.

-Draw the text box AFTERWARDS. Unless you are one hundred percent sure on how much you'r going to write, the text should never be pulled too much together in the box, better write the text then draw the box.
|
What can I say, I have tight bubbles. I DID draw them after the text.

-Make slightly details on each character. Don't over detail them, but make a detail on them that could descripe their personality more. Such as a scar, sun glasses, or a hat in a special position.
|
The characters will be evolved more during the storylines. For now, you can recognise Eli by the helmet, Zit by the plug things on his head, snuffs by the fact that he's tiny, bomber by the fact that she looks like a bomb, Acid by the fact that he looks like Eli except with no feet, and Icee by his spiky stuff.

-Hold your stuff clean. Don't get around to make it look blurry or messy. Your callender in the comic is a good example of a non-cleaned object. It's hard to see what's on it, and so. Use an eraser, use your scanners light tools to remove the shades of the paper slightly. Do eventually use a photo edit program to clean it completely up.

My eraser makes things blurry >_<

People preffer more art than text, usually.

Well, this is an exception. I'll be getting more into the art when I make the comic.
