Very good. The Backgrounds to diffuse for my taste.

Glad to see someone keeping the Ol' Maxx alive. I too am a Sam Keith fan. Fanboys of the world unite!

Now for a little critique.

Overall I like the concept. The Maxx seems to be done fairly well, but Julie could use some work on the face (nose looks like she is wearing a clown nose) and her left arm (our right) looks like it is too long. As for the coloring, I think it would have been more effective to be lit from the upper left instead of the upper right for a few reasons. 1. It shows off your characters more where it counts instead of on their backs. 2. Makes them look down on a lit valley instead of a dark one, making you think..."what could they be looking at in a dark valley?". 3. The solid areas of the inking play more toward the light from the upper left.
Last but not least, the background. I like the clouds and the feel of dusk, but the trees seem to be nothing more than an afterthought and were scribbled in. Might take some more time with the trees.

The color really work amazing on Bot's linework here. I really dig the heavy shadowing of the clouds passing with the bursts of light inbetween. I also think the grasslands savannah came off really well. I really dig teh texture you pulled off on his teeth/mask.

I don't think it's a valley, I just think they're on a rock in the middle of a grassy plain.

Yeah I see it now...but I still think the lighting needs to be re-thought

Clown nose?! Must be the curl of hair in front of her nose bleeding together with her face on darker computer-color settings.

Dude, I absolutely love what you did with the picture, I'm glad that I took out the background elements I had scrawled in there because it's breathtaking what you did with the plains and the sky, and those gorgeous clouds. Thank's man! I can't wait for our next colab, we'll have to talk about that, see what you'd like to do the pencils (inks optional) for!

It would've been cool to get Jon involved in this somehow, but I haven't heard a thing from him for weeks and weeks, is he still alive?!?! Anyways, I'm glad that we finally saw an idea to it's end, which is MAJOR PROGRESS FOR US...hahahaha

that chick looks like she's got a huge gut.

maybe i'm wrong..

nope, definitely a big gut.

other than that, coloring/shading is great. The image is slightly unclear as others have said. Other than that, good job.

lol, you name it, I'll draw it. I try inking it too, and if it doesnt look good, you can do em. ^^
Jon is very interested in doing a comic, and I told him that I would help out. He suggested starting, then pass the skectches to me and add my style/ideas to it, then he would ink it, then i would color it. It hasn't gotten a start, so that means there's more than enough room for you to join.
Yeah, I am glad we got through it with such motivation and dedication! Next time I'll put more time into the background. ^^ yeaa completion! lol
