freeking Zeke man! he talks so damn much!

these are the sequentials I chose to do from my 2nd issue of Forgotten Muse: 'Ghost Town'.

in it, a group of poltergeists are terrorising this pioneer town called Ethereal Springs. the town's sheriff, Caleb (who's fault it is that the ghosts exist in the first place), suggests simply to just ignore them, which inevitably doesn't work.

then along comes this traveling salesman, with an ego the size of Texas, (Mr E you guessed it) and convinces the people of the town to capitalise on their predicament and use the ghosts instead of fearing them.

remember these two issues are stories that Mr E has inspired into creation as he is a muse. they may be different stories but he always self inserts himself into the stories.

anyway, this is a scene that happens approximately half way through the second issue and it doesn't give TOO much away.

hopefully.

crit and nit picks welcome!

The layout you've got going on the third page to show Zeke's motions as he talks is excellent. The western font is a little hard to read, and the panel layout on the fourth page is a little confusing, but honestly, this is a ton of fun. It's alway cool seeing what you do with Mister E.

Zeke's body language and attitude reminds me a lot of Beetlejuice. I suspect he's got a similar attitude towards life--er, death---as well.

Also, I totally dig Mister E's mohawk ponytail thing. It's pretty damn styling.

Oh, Mr. E... If only you could use your smarts to better the world rather than be a thorn in everyone's side. :) Such a wonderful charmer, that muse.

2nd page, 6th panel - Mr. E's left leg looks a bit off. It either has to do with the knee, or the back of his calf/heel. A bit flimsy, I think.

The way you emote characters using body language is wonerful! Fits completely in line with the facial expressions AND dialogue.

I agree with :iconkatimazie: on the panel layout - The problem lies with panel 3. It looks like panel 4 and 5 should be read first before number 3, but I only realized that I should read panel 3 first after reading them through. It's a bit awkward. Then with panel 6, I skipped it and read panel 7 before number 6... because it looked like panel 7 came after panel 5. Possible solution: Cut panel 3 in half horizontally to fit alongside the first two panels (this will cut Crazy Ben and Joe out of it, but their reactions aren't completely necessary there, right?). For panels 7-9, condense them so they're perfectly parallel to panel 6 (and it'll make the faces seem a little bit more intense - leaving panel 10 alone as it's critical to the punchline). This makes room to lengthen panel 5 horizontally (if wanted, could put Crazy Ben and Joe in there, with the extra space). I think that'd be easier to read without any confusion... Sorry for the lengthy crit on that, just trying to give you ideas on how to improve that bit. (If I'm hard to understand, I could offer some red marker style editing instead, to show what I'm trying to say - visual edits are sometimes more useful than words)

Sorry... I just hate giving crits. :( I hope I'm not being too hard, because I LOVE your work!

Brilliant execution, pacing and comedy, this comic is justly called a work of art.

Another awesome job, I really can't give a critique much :< because i fail at panels and you still kick my ass. But really enjoy this and I totally love Zeke an the first page of this, where it's 4 images of him walking and talkin. BEAUTIFUL!

I also, for no reason really love Zeb ;;
:iconbec-sparrow:
I love how well you've brought Zeke's character across already!! I can just hear his accent bursting through the pages! :)

Mr. E you trick little devil. :D I'm loving this guy more and more with every page.

I really loved how on the first page you took what could have been just a couple of panels with big huge speech bubbles and added so much movement to it. I mean, Zeke is just talking, but there's still so much action in the page that it stays completely interesting. :)

As for crits, the only thing I would have to say would be the slight confusion of the panel layout on the second page. But I see that a few others have mentioned it and suggested solutions much more eloquently than I could have, so I'll just leave it and move on to the next page.
