I know you're hating the coloring, Poe, but it looks awesome.

[Anthony]

So, what made you decide to go color? It looks good, by the way.

[sysape]

No it doesn't!! colour in comic art fucking sucks!

I used to read 2000AD, it was pure awesome.

Then they introduced colour covers and colour centre pages and I was like meh, but seeing as that was mostly Dredd in colour, and the rest of it was still in beautiful pen and ink, I decided that was ok.

Then they made the whole thing colour and I stopped buying it.

If you're hating the colouring, hell even if you're mildly miffed by the colour Poe, for the love of Ghod stop doing it!

If you feel we need better art or something, then work on making your penmanship better. It seems to me you're doing this so you can make some gags about the colour of your characters skin, but that's fine in B&W, we have imaginations, we're not thick, we can and will get it, without colour.

You're missing the important discussion:
How exactly to avenge this violence towards Jordan.

[BloodHenge]

She's a supervillain. She can avenge herself. What she needs is someone to kiss it and make it better.

As for the color, I like it, but Poe, if you don't like it, don't do it. I've seen what happens when webcomic artists get sick of their own comic, and it's not pretty.

I know we have a separate thread for these, but on behalf of my home state: Virgina? Come on!

But seriously, she could do much bigger things to promote women's rights; her problem is that she's afraid of using force when in fact she has more of it than pretty much anyone.

[SubversiveCynic]

today has made me gigglesnort. that is all.

[RGE]

I don't think the colours look that good. But I also don't think that the colours look that bad. Practice makes perfect? Or perhaps they just need some more cel-shading, since the colours in the banner image look just fine. That's just a little extra work, right? Like... and hour or two... or three? Well, how would I know? I'm not an artist!

But hey, let me rationalise: Flat colours can work with simple drawings, but with all the details in the current art style, flat colours kind of look like they're not quite catching up to the line art.

And maybe Jordan shouldn't reveal her super villain identity to strangers just so we can have funny jokes. But I guess she could always kill the woman if she connects the dots and starts spreading the news.
