Richard Starkings is the creator and artist of the incredible Elephentmen series, he told us today that he is currently got a movie deal and creating a script for it, I am huge fan of his work and that comic series. We asked him to quickly review our work and critique it and this is what he said: you need to work of paneled pages, this is great, and your work is ready to be in comics but that's the easy part, story? dialogue? not easy, throw in all your ideas and don't worry about story arcs, as you do in films, different media, don't worry about critique, as long as you can express your love for comics in your work other comic fans will like it, keep the comic vibe you have, most comics have alot more bright colors than your work but if your comic is going to be a bit more gritty than say Jack Kirbys work then that's what your need, Batman comics don't have vibrant colors as much so it all depends on the tone you want, but keep that comic vibe I can see hear, its working.' I was also pleased with this feedback, having said that i am pleased with all feedback as you need it to improve, but this is what I wanted to hear, our story does have dark parts, real world problems but overall has a very comic vibe.
