Hello, I went through the archive of your magical girl comic. I'm gonna keep my eye on it.

The way the premise is presented is nonsensical, but that's a-ok in the genre, and I suspect you just wanted to through the setup quickly. Girls' publicity is a nice twist to the trope, and I hope you'll explore it thoroughly. I really like the tiny dragons - my favorite strip involves them. Oh, and the fact that the girls are not lawful stupid (a too common disorder among magical girls) is a big, big plus.

On the flipside, I think you should work on backgrounds and perspective more. Especially Datekaln - painting its sky solid green doesn't do it justice. At least make a reusable texture like you did with Earth's sky presumably.

Thanks for the feedback. Everybody loves the pagets and everybody loves that page - I should change the title to "Pagets Are Cute (and some silly humans sometimes do things)."

Backgrounds are very tedious and unrewarding to draw, so my progress on them is slow. I'll mess with possible simple textures for Datékaln's sky, though, since that's easy. (Earth's sky is just the Photoshop cloud filter.)
