So, I've been reworking Fade a little. I really want to get back into it, but there just always seems to be something else I have to do. Here's a quick sketch of a manlier Holt:
And here's the cover of the page-a-day comic. I tried to emulate those line drawings that were pressed into the dayglo green faux leather covers of books under the paper slipcover:

thumbs up on manlier fade. Get back to that comic bro, or i'ma do it myself. And he will fight space toasters with guns.
We'll be here when you get the chance, sir. For now, take care of yourself.
Good, I can feel your anger. I am defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
I can link you to the other forum but it might make you want to jam a sharpened pencil into your eye. Get inspired!

Okay, redrew that gnarly hand, and sort of finished this sequence up. Going for quantity and composition rather than quality. Still drawing almost directly in ink for that Tolkeinesque flair (he embraced his mistakes as part of the work).

Gruesome AND physically impossible. Woo hoo!

Hah! Loved it
by physically impossible, were you referring to the fact that his hand changes from left to right during the punch sequence?
It was a fake out! They go to block the left, and BAM, you nail em with a right!
I don't know anything about naruto but is he really similar back-story-wise to harry potter?
serious question. no laughing.

Nope. Keith David.
Story wise, I like it; I think it's a good bit. I like the artwork/layout too, except for that last frontal shot of bull guy. Horns shouldn't be pointing up like that, and his facial features seem too sharp... I saw the note where you said distinct human features, but to me it kinda looks more rat-like than bull/human hybrid. Of course, it might just be I'm too used to seeing the way Lars De Souza draws those bull guys in Looking For Group.

Yeah, I disliked that last panel, too. I debated posting it or redrawing. I didn't have it at first, and I thought the dialogue needed to end on bull-man, not rat-man.
This sequence was from Fade, btw. I'm really trying to get back into it. I hate having gone from being in the top 10% of webcomics (according to the webcomic list), to basically dead.
