Please could someone review nothing is as it seems? I'm interested to see what you got from the last chapter. That darn yurble I really hope they have made that rule, I like him! you have to admit he's a cool character... Spring of writing: Wow, I LOVE this, seriously, it's beautiful, well written and hits the mark wonderfully... A******* I'm not even going to bother reviewing Shoyru Squadron, everyone knows it's brilliant. CCR: I think you're steadily confirming my ideas, however I am now slightly suspicious of athless, which I think is intentional. Good manipulation of the audience, but then I like all of these, and mareian rocks. Week In Bogshot: Another regular times writer/comic/all round creative genius. I did like this part a lot, however last weeks was so good it's hard to live up to... Ehm...: Why has no one come up with this idea before??? and I love the fact she has a little shad pic on the wall  Dangerously Insane: *laughs* I got the right spell thanks to oldpd but yes, that's a funny spell hehehe, nice art too... |

Ehm... by ladyariel32 Awwww SO nice to do a Droplett Anniversary comic. That's GREAT. I have to admit, I love the details. The little ones, that someone who 'attempts' to draw would appreciate, lol.. Like the stack of envelopes. Awesome. I have trouble making things look.. stacked. lol.. And I love those expressions. GiggleSnort-Worthy. hehe. Very Nice. On behalf of Huntress, thank you. ^^ *is tickled* Ehm...: Why has no one come up with this idea before??? and I love the fact she has a little shad pic on the wall Roffle! pXD Trust Huntress to include her chara. ^^ |

I just used the little Shad pic as an excuse for all the concerned fans who neomail me asking why an S&S comic hasn't been in lately x3 Buhaha.
Ohkay.... more reviews. Comments on my series are still appreciated ^^
Notions and Nonsense: The Cure: nice joke, and nice art. I love the background, it gives a good idea about how the pharmacy looks like. The *sigh* bothered me though, words between asterisks rarely look good in comics. The joke would've been just fine without that. And I see shades but not shadows... o.o
Shoyru Squadron: Agents of Faerie: I can't believe you got away with that much technology... but it's a good thing you did x3 The pre-last panel is simply awesome... *squints* how'dyou create that effect? Blurring and some of 'em Nudge tools as it seems... Hehe, and now I noticed the Meepit lamp x3 Cool. Can't help wondering why Draco hates the Squadron so much... either I've missed something when reading the previous comics or it's not explained yet. Making things even more interesting, yus...
Dangerously Insane: wahaha, an awesome comic x3 Both the art and the joke are great. I checked your previous ones earlier today and gotta admit that you've greatly improved (then again, who hasn't... look at my first comics >.> Actually, don't look. Seriously.). Couldn't really understand what pet it was, looks like a Kacheek. But that's beside the point... loved that comic ^^
That Darn Yurble: great art for Paint, though kinda... crooked at times. And the walls seemed a bit too plain, seeing that you only shaded the characters. The Grundos looked... fat o.o Sloth seems to be a good boss x3 Also, the continuing speech boxes in panels 2 and 3 look odd.... couldn't really understand why they had to be so hacked. Boy, am I picky today or what...? The joke was still great, and so was the expression in the last panel ^^ What I don't get... if you have the program to create the sunlight effect (PSP Sunburst, right?), how come you don't use the same program to make the comics? It'd help to get rid of the pixelized lines.
And I'm... actually done reviewing this week, as I don't read series before they're over o.O Now what am I gonna do for the rest of the week...?

Spring of Writing
Aww, Nut, I miss you! I'm still a little misty-eyed from this story. I too only know Droplet and I appreciate her a lot. I never thought the story line was boring, but I love description. I love the little things, like how Seena checked her papers again because she was nervous. I like how you showed the passing of time by explaining how things were growing (as Seena's writing was growing). The Mirgle bits were a nice touch. Were Gnorbus released when Droplet started? I guess it doesn't matter as the ice cream guy was a Lutari before they were released. Another very well-written story. If I were Droplet, I would feel very honored and appreciated.

Tan-Tan's Discovery
The beginning was a little slow, but it quickly picked up once Tan-Tan and his mother entered the scene. I like how you explained how Tan-Tan's boredom grew until, like a young boy, he decided to do something dangerous. I wish you would have made grandmother a little more sad about the tree. She seemed just to take it in stride. Also, the transition from Tan-Tan climbing the smaller tree to the really small tree is slightly awkward. Just needed a little bit more filler.
The ending is simple and sweet. It lets the reader know that the grandmother really does have much to teach her grandson. I would have preferred a different title, but that's really nit-picky. n:)

Aww I thought I had been around long enough to not be forgotten, but.. I guess not.  If it isn't TOO much trouble.. could I please be added to this list for reviewing as well, please? That Darn Yurble by gliderames Also by xpropugnator ThankYou...  I actually paused at that one when I saw it... but I remembered your name as Gildergames *headdesk* So I figured it was just a close spelling..  Sorry 'bout that. It's okay.  As long as I get added in the end. heh. ThankYou very much.  Ame... |

Pixelized lines dont bother me a bit. b) I LIKE using paint. It's more fun for me. c) I am comic'ing for the fun, and the avvie.. not to be professional. ;D lol. and d) Check out a MUTANT grundo some time, you might notice they actually.... ARE... fat.. lol. Sorry my wonky lines, crooked comic, hacked speech boxes, plain walls, and program of choice bothered you.. Ame. |

Sorry my wonky lines, crooked comic, hacked speech boxes, plain walls, and program of choice bothered you.. Ame. Yeah, but the Mutant Grundos are more huge-puffy-muscles than actual fat. Still haven't figured out why they're called mutants... And it's not that the crooked lines, etc bothered me... but I'm used to taking a comic apart and gnawing on each and every little flaw. I'm always eternally thankful when someone does that with my comics. That's one of the main points of this forum - to improve and help others improve. Heck, if there hadn't been for Komori's comment back in January, Shad would still be unshaded and my speech bubbles would still be fuzzy. (Or not. Someone would probly have pointed that out eventually. I wuv zis gang here ^^) |

That Darn YurbleHehe, I like the joke! I am getting kind of tired of that Yurble, and thinking the same thing. I wonder if he'll be in the next plot. I like the Grundo things, but in the third panel they look especially fat. 0.0; And in the last panel, I love the light coming from the Yurble's teeth. xD Awesome effect!

estantia, thankyou for your comments. I am sure most plotters are used to seeing him now, lol.. Belle you're quite welcome. I think it's loverly.  Tay, thankyou. ThankYou. I have mixed feelings about him I think, lol.. I like him, but I too am getting KINDof tired of him. But since we've seen Sooooo much of him, I thought the joke was funny, so my co-partner in crime and I went with it. lol. ThankYou ALL for your comments.. ..but I'm used to taking a comic apart and gnawing on each and every little flaw. I'm always eternally thankful when someone does that with my comics. That's one of the main points of this forum - to improve and help others improve. I agree. I love all comments here, good and bad. Delicate ones, or Rip-It-Apart ones. But I don't want anyone disappointed when they keep seeing my comics and they don't see ....improvement, per say. If it's easy, and I can do what people suggest, I'll gladly incorporate it in.. If it's too challenging or beyond my small amount of skill, I won't even try, lol.. I feel the need to add in, as much as possible, that, I'm not an artist, and not trying to be. I'm just entertaining myself, and my friends with a decent, amatuer comic, and decent to good amatuer comics are all I'm striving for. 'Good' ....is good enough for me.  |

Tan-Tan's DiscoveryI would've expected it to be longer... it ended pretty suddenly. Still, it was great to read an oriental-type story, t'was a really nice change ^^ Good thing they introduced those royal Myncies... The idea itself wasn't the most original - generation conflicts have aaalways been used in stories - but I like how you pulled it off. And I really felt sorry for the little tree x.X The brats these days. Overall, a very sweet story. Thanks for the review ^_^ I'd agree that it was a little cliche, but I'm glad that you liked it anyway Tan-Tan's DiscoveryThe beginning was a little slow, but it quickly picked up once Tan-Tan and his mother entered the scene. I like how you explained how Tan-Tan's boredom grew until, like a young boy, he decided to do something dangerous. I wish you would have made grandmother a little more sad about the tree.

The ending is simple and sweet. It lets the reader know that the grandmother really does have much to teach her grandson. I would have preferred a different title, but that's really nit-picky.  Hmm, reading it back after you've said that makes me realise that she really doesn't seem that upset about the tree. Ah well, this was written on my Dad's laptop whilst on a flight to the US, so I'm sure it wasn't my best piece xD Thank you for reviewing |

Thanks everyone for the glowing reviews! I'm extemely flattered, and very inspired to continue. So sorry for this short reply... am on my way to the airport for a quick two-week trip to Toronto to attend my sister's reception. And for those interested, I have submitted all the way up to Part 15, which concludes (finally) "The Draco Debacle." Coming up soon... Case #4: The Esophagor Conspiracy... *cue mysterious music* Edit: Just got Part 13 approved for this week's Times... and my 50th NT trophy! Many, many thanks Droplet! |

Spring of Writing by nut862I can't say how much I loved this The descriptions were beautiful and the storyline was really sweet. The idea of linking Seena's writing to the seasons was very original, and added a really nice note to the story =) The way in which you described Droplet's office and the weewoo's was really nice, although personally I would have imagined it to be a little busier. That's probably just me though ^_^ Five O'Clock Deadline by literalluauAnother story for Droplet ^_^ I think creating the pet Dewdrop was a nice way to do it, gave the story a little more scope, and also probably more enjoyable for some of the readers who may not really know who Droplet is. Dewdrop's problem was also a nice twist, I suppose when reviewing for a job it might become like that... And her dedication was sweet too. Kyle's insistence made me laugh xD Overall, a really nice story An Evening in the Archives: Part One by shadowcristal
Also by precious_katuch14Does every single Altador related story get this picture? D= But anyway xD Was the droplet inspired poem deliberately to subtlely comemorate Droplet's anniversary? If not, it was a nice coincidence The little meepit-plushie-but-not-plushie is awesome. I certainly wasn't expecting Fineas' much loved plushie to have such an attitude. And the comment about if they run into the seamstress was a nice touch also. The way you finished this part made me want to read on, which is obviously what you want in a series, so I will be xD I wonder who the small voice is though =o Notions and Nonsense: The Cure by patjade Art by peri0neo by patjadeHehe, so cute ^_^ I like the way you've drawn the shading, it looks very natural. Or at least, as natural as it can on a spotty grundo xD The interpretation of how the pharmacy might look and such was nice too. That Darn Yurble by gliderames Also by xpropugnatorTook me a minute to make the link between yurble foreman and the yurble in the shiny purple suit, but afterwards I felt silly for not getting it as it is pretty obvious ^^; The joke is good and the art looks just like Fyora's purpley tower. In the first frame though, the 'Soon the rest...' bit looked almost like one of the Grundo's was saying it, but maybe that's just me. I like your sloth, he looks very suitably evil Shoyru Squadron: Agents of Faerie by the_darkjediI am ashamed to admit, I've never actually read one of your comics before, and so didn't really get the joke. The art is amazing though ;o I now want to go and read back your previous comics ^^; Ehm... by ladyariel32 Art by ssjelitegirlVery funny, and the joke was communicated really well I liked that you had the classified 'zoomed in' or whatever the technical term is, rather than Sloth saying it or something like that. The art is awesome, right down to the last details; meepit plushie, quill, even a tiny trademark Shad xDD Dangerously Insane by leah_51293I didn't get the 'all those years making fun of sloth' thing o.o But Droplet picks that, right? Well anyway, nice comic The art is pretty and clean and such, and the simple background works nicely to emphasis the characters. Love the facial expressions ^_^ .....found time for a few reviews =) *proud*

ThankYou for the Slothy comments.. that's AWEsome. And you're so right, about the first speech bubble, after I sent it in, I thought the same thing, lol.. Very evenly sweet and constructive review, thankyou much. Appreciated. Ame... |

Sorry 'bout that.
As long as I get added in the end. heh.
