Page 1


Welcome one, welcome all, to the release of House of Cards, a comic I am writing.

Pip is back after my run in Masque for his own story, along with Pudding the dove as you can see here. Jacqueline will be lurking about as well, as some might see too~


As some of you already know, the story follows Pip, 11 year old kid who wants to be a magician, a shady organization, a circus and a bunch of intertwining paths.

Hopefully I can keep up regular page updates, expect the first page of the prologue up this week!

Other than that, enjoy! :D

Well, this is certainly better than anything I can do on the computer :) I like the color scheme a lot. A lot of people have a hard time including images in a background, but you definitely don't. Pip is definitely the center of attention despite the numerous faces looking at the viewer.

Pip's anatomy ratio is off, but I think that's also a part of your style so that's not a problem. His anatomy is rough, but that's something that will develop much more as you draw more. I do recommend drawing people from life. Then again, I suggest that to everyone. I would suggest it to DaVinci if he hadn't already.

Pip's hair shadow seems to have some purply tones to it, and I really like that a lot. I lot of people just resort to using the dodge brush for painting, and you can tell. The values all around could use a bit more dark parts, especially in the clothes, but the hair is awesome.

With the card pathways, the top one looks great. The one Pip is riding gets sketchy only towards the center of the swirl. The cards themselves look fabulous, and you should definitely be proud of them.

All in all my biggest critiques are what I've been telling myself. Anatomy and value. Your idea is creative, you skill very apparent, and your use of text is really nice looking, too. Very well done for sure! This is the type of image that will make me want to come back next year and see where you've developed. :) You've got skill for sure.
