The message was NOT well-received...
This is it!! The end of Chapter 1!! It's been a wild ride and I could not have been happier with the outcome. The entire experience of working on this comic felt new and fresh, and for the most part was a pleasure. I think the proudest part was not missing a weekly update, even if it meant working on it the night before or posting a page unfinished. I'm very proud of that, and even if I never achieve that again, I can say I did it once! Finishing an entire chapter in under a year is... beyond comprehension for me, to be honest...
A lot of very bad things happened to me during the process of this comic. The death of my dad in August and the hurricane wrecking my city in October being the main two. Sometimes working on this comic was the main thing keeping my spirits up when things got really dark. It really means a lot to me, for those reasons. And I'm thankful for those who read each page along with me!
I will be going on a brief hiatus from Call Me Master now. I feel it's PROBABLY a wise decision to not begin posting Chapter 2 until January. I want to get my buffer back and incentivize the Patreon again. If you would like to support me financially to work on CMM and my other comic, The Selection, feel free to subscribe on https://www.patreon.com/alfafilly OR drop a tip on https://ko-fi.com/A305BVF. You can also subscribe to me on https://www.twitch.tv/alfafilly if you prefer. No one has to do this, to be clear! This is only if you're feeling particularly generous! Think of yourself first and foremost each time. Thank you everyone in advance! c:

Now it's feedback time!! For those unfamiliar with my work, I am not open/accepting of critique on my comics until the very end, as I feel a generalized set of constructive comments are better for me than individual ones. Here are the questions! If you are not comfortable answering any of them, you don't have to!
1. What was your favorite part of the comic? Scene, overall vibe, etc.
2. Was there anything that confused you I can help clarify? Something in the dialogue, an event in the story, something visual, etc.?
3. Are the dialogue balloons for the pokemon too much or do you think they work fine?* (The colors + the pokemon sounds overlapped on top, such as in this page)
4. Was the limited black and white palette enough for clarity? Should more values be added? Less?
5. What about the toned shading? Just right? Too much? I might experiment on using a different tone pattern next chapter.
6. Who is your favorite and least favorite character?
7. Is Dyo an asshole, y/n?
8. Other comments or critique you'd like to add?
*for the balloons, specifically my goal was to indicate the Pokemon were speaking their own language that isn't understood by humans. "Human" language was standard white balloons, Pokemon language had a color tone + sounds, and in the case of Dyo and Cady, they speak telepathically, so their balloons are inverted and their dialogue can be understood by everyone.
