Hey guys, I have been working on digitally colouring these pages.  I am using Photoshop CS5.  I was just wondering if that program is the industry standard or do the pro's use another program?

It's not the only app to get the job done but PS CS5 (PS generally) is as close to a standard as there is. You won't go wrong using that.

I like your characters, and I like your creature. I would liked to have seen the more detailed version of the creature in the panel immediately following his intro (1:2). That way, we have a better idea of what he looks like, and our minds can fill in the details when you push out further (as in 1:3). If possible, switch 1:3 and 1:4 and give us a good look at this great character right off the bat.

Because you've drawn great characters, I'd like better backgrounds to sit them on. You're drawing a sci-fi world, so let's see it in a bit more detail. As with the creature, give us a couple of detailed panels at the top of the strip, then you can get away with sparser b.g.s later on. Nice start though, mate. I'd work with you in the future if you're up for a collaboration.

Hey Locustsofdeath, cheers for the feedback. 
I drew the backgrounds quite simply for this version because I have been given criticism about making my panels too busy and not leaving enough room for speech bubbles so I will have to find a happy medium with that.  I will be having more detail for the backgrounds in the next version though.  I want the first pub they are at to be an old irish pub and the second one to be more modern with fluorescent track lighting and more of a nightclub feel.  I will try to establish this in the coloured version if I have time. 

But thank you!  I really appreciate the compliments and criticism.  Have you had your work published before?

Some nice work there, Toblakai.

I'm liking the use of angles and the Princess Leia waitress. I'm intrigued to know why the alien was carrying the body and what became of it. Looking forward to seeing this finished.

Oh, and don't go doing Locust's scripts, he's rubbish*. I'm much betterer then he is...

*Just joshing, Locusts. You know I love you really  :ssh:
