Mollybell vs *doodle-bugz's Ugori.

Redid the contrast and finished up shading on these three pages. There's actually one more.. but who knows when I'll be able to finish it. ; A;

While you've upped the contrast, there are still some parts that are hard to make out what's happening at first glance. The biggest issue is the first few frames with the guy on the bench. In the fifth panel, my brain translated it into the head of that plant thing from the 1980's movie "Little Shop of Horrors" with Rick Moranis. Audrey, I guess her name is.

The dragon's face in the fourth and fifth panel look very similar, as if the fifth panel was just a copy/paste of the fourth. I know its not because of the definition with the teeth and the changes in the hair outline, but that's just something I noticed.

An aspect about this I really like is in the first frame with how the dragon pops out of the frame and swirls around the panel. I kind of wish that his body went trailing down the entire comic, but that's not anything to put much merit on, I think. Just me being me.

I really like the different shot angles in this. It's very interesting and has a good flow. I like how panels 3, 4, and 5 are parts of one larger picture. In the following three frames, I like the glance to the hands, the speaker, and the hands. Doing that ties in well with the story being told, adding a nice "Pay attention! He is doing something relevant!" for the reader, except it's much more subtle.

My favorite frame is the last one. For such a small comic, having that emphasis really just wraps things up nicely, even if there is more to this. Well done. This is an excellent example of your graphic design and storytelling skills.
