Nobody is reading the comic in english? xD

I am . But it's been nearly 15 pages that nothing is happening...
Your first chapter is excellent because the scenario is mystic and the quality of illustrations is amazing, specially with your mix of characters drawn "traditionnally" and your architectures in 3D.

Chapter 2, we already see the quality going down with you abandonning 3D effects.
But the scenario is still catchy.
Action starts... and there it's difficult to understand why but after Chapter 3 Page 2, quality in illustrations is really going down.
It gives the feeling that, after putting a lot of efforts in making your pages splendid on chapter 1... you started to be bored or wanting to rush like crazy and make more pages, even if it costs you the quality.

Chapter 3 page 5 the action starts to be messy and difficult to understand...
And after that, end of chapter 3 to now... only mystic stuff and story I don't really want to read...

My feeling is that you're getting lost in experimentations .

What is Arkham about exactly ?
Action ? Mysteries ? Humour ? Sexy ?
It seems that you want it to be all that. BUT it can't be equally all that.

Before experimenting and going in all directions, I think you should ask yourself this simple problematic :

"I MUST cacth my reader in 60 pages and make him totally addicted to my comics. How can I do that ?"

First chapter was great for that .2 very interesting characters, humor with Jaume, sexy/mystic and action with Akuma. And great illustrations.

When you'll go back to ALL your basics, your Arkham will become amazing again and THEN you'll have many readers loving you

---I am . But it's been nearly 15 pages that nothing is happening...---
Does that mean that you did not like any page of lieutenant ? mm ... I know they were a bit strange ... but as much as "there was nothing in them" ... These new first 5 pages understand with te priest, i understand they are a bit boring ... But that's because for almost 2 months, I am with the same pages for problems that occurred in amilova, so the comic did not move really much all this time. And now I cannot draw this month. and I reserve a lot of pages for the Amilova contest at October 15. ... I do not like excuses, I think it's cowardly for people who do not accept their mistakes or responsibilities. I also like people who read my comics know that I update my some days in a week specifically and so do not disappoint them.... But summer is fucking me ... and amilova contest...

---Your first chapter is excellent because the scenario is mystic and the quality of illustrations is amazing, specially with your mix of characters drawn "traditionnally" and your architectures in 3D.---

Well... in the first chapter... I had the advantage of the "darkness" and the color, and greys... that gives me more posibilites to play with the light and shadows to make them more interesting. The 3D church was an added that helped me to take a place for the characters... So it was nice... thanks ^^

---Chapter 2, we already see the quality going down with you abandonning 3D effects. ---
MMM.. well that was because.. it was not completely necessary, and i were changing of the backgrounds really often... and it´s not so bad... isn´t it? :S

---But the scenario is still catchy.---

thanks xD

Well that was after going to Comic Festival in France. After meeting Gogeta Jr. Before meeting him I drew a pege every 3 days.... And he told me and showed me... that "he does 3 Pages EVERY DAY" Well... that scared me xD... so .... i can´t do 3 pages every day... but i can do a page every day... but obviously ... draws are not so good...
But I apreciate that you told me that... nobody else told me that xD... and I was starting to feel that nobody matters the draws xDD.

---Chapter 3 page 5 the action starts to be messy and difficult to understand... ---
Yep... it´s possible... the page of the explosion is not finished... in fact.. but i read the comments.. and they like that and I thought.. well don´t touch it xD they like it...

---And after that, end of chapter 3 to now... only mystic stuff and story I don't really want to read...- ---
... arghhh... There you´ve nailed me really deep inside... "Story I don´t really want to read... " xD argh... ok... Probably I made the liutenant story too soon... But i wanted to start explain some important things in the comic... but... important parts probably are a little boring with a good explanation... humm... ok... I´m not a crack in write... xD

---My feeling is that you're getting lost in experimentations .---
mmm .. yeah.. a lot... xD.. if you see dark heroes or lukard you will see different art styles... I didn´t know how to draw in past... that´s why in arkham the first part is completly different from the rest. But.. now i had more ore less the definitive style... black and white, and few greys. Or you were talking about story? :S

---What is Arkham about exactly ?---
---Action ? Mysteries ? Humour ? Sexy ?---
---It seems that you want it to be all that. BUT it can't be equally all that.---

Nice question!! At the beginning at the Arkham... I did not have any idea.. I just wondered wich comics i wanted to honor.. just because i love, like Planetary, X-FIles, Evangelion,... But i was not sure about how it would be continued. I just wanted to do jokes, but been seriusly. Like The mentalist.
Now I know what it is (since 2010) I started this comic in 2007 (the first 10 pages of the first chapter has some years...)

So it´s Humour and Misterys. And some Thriller.

---Before experimenting and going in all directions, I think you should ask yourself this simple problematic :

Well that was my Idea! jeje... that´s why the first chapter was ended with the liutenant... with the last mistery... to catch the atention for people see the next chapter... (56 pages all first chapter)... But as I can see for your opinion the liutenant part you did not like any little bit xD.

---First chapter was great for that .2 very interesting characters, humor with Jaume, sexy/mystic and action with Akuma. And great illustrations.---

... Humm... Ok...

Mm... Well I hope... you will like the 5th chapter I will prepare in October D...

Thank you very much for your comment.. it was really nice to see so worked comment and so honestly one. It´s really apreciated.... really. I´m sorry to be late in answer you... but it deserves a more complex answer... so I took my time... I didn´t want to give you simple excuses...

I can give you a lot of excuses but they ´ll become useless. Because readers are not going to read the excuses , they just wan spend some time entertaining... only the material done matters. and by our deeds we are known. So ... it´s very much appreciated the comments that make you fall from the clouds and feet touching the ground ... I wish I could read many more comments like this ... really is what makes an artist grow. Thank you.
