Description
Well, this is the first page of my manga, read left to right. Ah, yeah... He IS talking to the birds... >__>I'm aware of some of it's crappiness yet I'm am a bit tired of looking at it
so I'm submitting it. I'll probably fix the errors as I continue to make pages, and in any hope, improve. I hope to make my lines much smaller and smoother, and improve my screetoning. 
Also, I really need to start using references for stuff... I'm just so darn lazy The process: Sketched on paper. Inking was primarily done in painter 9. Panels, screentones and vector-y stuff was done with photoshop.

Pretty cool. If you plan on submitting it to any professional contest, might I suggest spell check.

Becareful on working on your tones... some of them are overpowering your line work, that should not happen in a manga.

Aww... the dialogue has a very uplifting feel. It makes me smile. How did he get so far up anyway? *curious* What a cutie~ =3
The panelling is nice--clean and dynamic--and the text is well placed.

The first panel box with a building in it, you shouldn't use the same tone with the sky. It mess up the feeling in it.
The crown look cool too.
You have done a great jobs with the outline. And i was wondering can you give me advise how you do the tone for the bottom left one, the tone dot didn't stay too close to each other - i have been searching very long time for a way to do that. Can you teach me plz?

Thanks for the feedback. The first panel was bothering me, now I know why ^^.
For the panel at the bottom, I used a plug-in for photoshop: [link] If you mess with the options a little, you can get the effect you want. Hope it helps.

That's one useful filter, thank for giving me the link. I have been trying to get a tone filter. But using Google only give mix results.
Thank you very much ~~!

Thank you. I'm glad you like the birds, because I used no references and I was kinda hoping that the way birds look in my mind were the same as they are in real life

Thanks. In truth, it scares me a bit to put my sequential stuff up as I've never really done it seriously before. So your words are really encouraging. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah thats understandable. I probably couldn't keep up if I ever try haha.
Oh I'm so glad.

Curses... You know, I tried about twelve times to read it right to left before I saw the little 'read this way' sign. And your description. And one of a thousand things that aught to have told me it wasn't written in japanese format *falls over dead*
I'll tell you, I've been reading to much manga. I even THINK right to left. And IN ANIME!!!! *stares at the little anime samaritans on her shoulders*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, well. While making it I got myself confused. Like, sometimes I'd be drawing things left to right, other times right to left until finally I flipped a coin and decided to draw it from left to right.
Hmm... it makes absolutely no sense right to left( I just tried to read it that way) sorry I confused you
Reading too much manga and watching too much anime? Pishaw.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD not too much... just enough to confuse me....
But I've been doing that, too. Just today, I went to plot out a page of fancomic... and I was going all right to left... then I got to this part where the quote bubble stretched all the way across the screen, but the words were going the opposite direction and *slaps own forhead* God, I hate our language. Why can't we read right to left?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dunno, it's a weird phenomenon. One side of the world reading one way, and the other side reading the other way. Like how toliets flush in the other direction in the outback...
Maybe you can put the quote bubbles more vertical than horizontal... maybe that will help.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm... but this particular bubble is supposed to be really REALLY horizontal... like... one word stretching across the entire page....
I'm thinking that maybe I'll just put the letters on backwards.... then it would say '!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON', but I think we'd get the idea.

hmm.. well whatever works I suppose ^___^

damn. I was out yesterday and early today so I couldn't post anything. This looks great. I hope that you post more soon.
