Missed Connection - m4w

Hi all,

First time poster, long time lurker, I've been lurking since high school so for over a decade now.
I am an illustrator/aspiring comic artist and drew a comic based on a short story by Raphael Bob-Waksberg (Creator of Bojack Horseman) and thought the Scans_Daily Community would enjoy, I hope I'm not infringing on any of the rules,

I have never participated because I have never really interacted in an online community, just lurked. Anyways posting 1/3 and the rest will be on my portfolio website haha Well enjoy! Wanted to make something fun and new york!















The rest of the story can be found Here :) I hope you guys enjoy, this was the first and longest comic I ever drew!

Very fine work! The content's not quite my wheelhouse (95% of my comics intake nowadays is cape stuff or cape-adjacent), but the storytelling technique here is absolutely top-notch. Be absolutely eager to see what else is in your portfolio.

haha I don't have much cape and cowl stuff.
I work as a designer and as all people who draw comics, i have a lot of drawings of batman. likewise, maybe I'll post my pitch for DC when they had there talent program a few years back,

it was basically 22 jump street with bruce and oliver paying for jason and roy to go to college to figure find where a drug is coming from. Would've had Tim on a college visitation, Barbara brushing shoulders, and Damian on a field trip. haha
Appreciate the comments!

Congratulations on de-lurking! And for such a great reason!

I like your art style and the colours are marvellous, very distinctive.

There's a very natural flow to the story too, which works well and I DO want to read what happens next.

(If I might ask you though, could you shrink the image above the cut to be no more than 400x300 please?)

This looks great, I'm getting Zdarsky Sex Criminal vibes here.
