I have been partly influenced by Derek Riggs Eddie character for my own even though not the same. First of the covers for Bat Bunnies number one this is showing Rotten Count with red eyes implying what is to come in the story not a montage like previous incarnations of the promotional posters but a single image like many new wave and independent titles.

Question - is this a good enough comic book for a teenage audience? Yes but the art could be better with more tones as it is black and white. Discuss and evaluate own work - my work is all based on line drawing and I use pen and ink with technology very in vogue I will be exploring more with digital formats soon. Articulating reasoned arguments to support their practice - my practice has always been done on a budget and is still a life long ambition to get published and make it from being original with the comic format without doing heavy pen pictures of super hero’s, not something I am very good at.

Keep making those minis, and also as you develop, keep working on the anatomy and stylization of your characters, and the layouts and backgrounds of your panels. But you’re on the way with it all!  Awesome, Chris  --  Chris Staros Top Shelf Productions c/o Idea & Design Works, LLC 2765 Truxtun Road San...
