thanks very much Anarkki

here's the next page, as the good doctor finally actually does something...

Really enjoying so far! Keep it up

thanks for the comments everyone, they're appreciated.

here are the next two pages. i'm not really happy with them at all, so i'm giving it a couple of days, then perhaps re-doing them

page seventeen

page eighteen

not connected to the strip really, just a response to a pm. see, i can draw properly!

grrr

proper drawing (ish)

Ignore the **** Dr. D! You're great!

thanks merrow - i don't think she was serious (and if she was, fair enough, her watercolour paintings are much better then mine )

anyway, here are the updated versions of pages seventeen and eighteen. lots changed on seventeen

page seventeen

page eighteen

Fantastic! What are the good doctors powers then? He's got a real pulpy vibe!

in game, the doc is grav/ff, but obviously i'm taking many creative liberties...

page nineteen

next page. this one feels rushed, so it may get re-done

page twenty

Don't turn around! Use your l33tness on him!

an alternative look, done in a tighter style:

doc d, alternative look

Ah, you’re just building it up for a big hug session with the two heroes, aren’t you, and here’s me wanting a fight.

I feel we’re getting towards a conclusion, and I’m looking forward it.

next page, and finally, after twenty pages, some action...

OUCH I wouldn't want to be in his shoes

Keep it up!

thanks phantoms

here's the next page. i'm quite pleased with the last two

page twentytwo

Intruging...I'm wondering what will happen next

Fantastic, yet again Doc

thanks, i really appreciate your comments

page twentytwo has been slightly altered now, with panels two and three swapping to make it read better

next page follows...

this page is, i think, a good illustration of why i started to do this strip. it's really an extended experiment to see if this style can work in this format or not, and if not, what needs changing. for this page, i went for a more stylised look, and it's one i'm not sure works, but i'm giving it a day or so to see if i change my mind.

opinions are, as always, more than welcome

page twentythree

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

you can't just leave it there! We want more!

Tho 23 is far more classical "comicbook" style than the gritty realism you've used til now. You've gone from Michael Gaydos/Alex Maleev to John Romita Jr in like 3 pages. Works tho

thanks scarlet

i've changed the artwork now, adding an extra frame at the top showing redlight actually closing in on doc d, which i hope smooths out the narrative a little

many thanks to Tiger from the US boards for his advice

NEW page twentythree

doctor destiny, punching bag...

page twentyfour

next page...

i think that a weakness of mine, over the last few pages has been exposed. some of the actual drawing is ok, but the narrative flow, less so. it seems to be looking more like a stop-motion piece, and less like a movie

page twentyfive

Great work, Dr! I can't wait to see how this will turn out! Love the stylisation so far!

Fave Line: "Right, let's try that again, shall we."

thanks Jed

next page, done too fast... anyone would think i'd been spending time blastin' zombies instead of colouring in... this page will go on my 'to re-do' file

page twentysix
