Thank you and I appreciate your input. I can take punches so if there are any positive or negatives critiques you have with the story and with the current and future characters that will come, I ask you and many others to please tell me. Thank you for your time reading the comic, I appreciate it.

I would always be happy to give advice to people. first off tho let me say that your style you picked for Tanuki blade is just fab! you got an old look to your comic BUT it feels as if you'v revived an old style and made it new and freash. and I like how your useing natural materials to colour your comic were most internet comic artist use Sai paint or photoshop. and the begining is good so far and so are the charecter.

This would be the only advice I'd give and its only something for you to try out if you become curious enough to try it. would be to add a second tone of shadeing to the comic. what I mean by this is that you have the first cout of coloure on the charecter and then the shadeing, if you added another stoke of shadeing over the shadowed area were it starts then it will give another cout and the more shadeing a painting has the more it stands out. I did a collage project not too long back useing ink (which share the same sorta technics with water colour) and I used about 4-5 shades to coloure my charecter's and the more of the shadows I added the more the charecter stuck out. this is only a sucjestion since I do like the way they comic is but if you feel the need to try something new and see how thigns turn out i'd say give it a shot.

and lastly parhaps some more pictures of the charecters, poseing or jsut doing something thats not related to the comic. like sketches or a doodle in pencil your really proud of. the more sketches or pictures you post of the charecter the more likely chance you will get soemone comming across the picture and looking at the comic.

sorry for a huge text but I'd like to give out any sucjestion to help people and this comic deserves more fans.

oh but lastly my friend said she wanted to take that tuna and smack those people who were mean to Unagi XD and personaly so would I haha.

I do agree there should be some more shading that I overlook, but not on purpose. I will do what I can and try to adding more shading , thanks for the info. And I do like the computer as a way of putting stff into finals, just that I like to have a physical "original" plus I like watercolors. And I can upload some character concept art, gotta go through this pile first haha! thanks again!
