As you know, I'm trying out a new program and some aspects of the comic might be a little wonky for a couple pages, but I'm getting the hang of it. I'm trying out screentones for this week's pages and experimenting with how they look. Feel free to leave feedback on whether you like/dislike them and if you think they should look different in some areas etc. This is all a process and I hope to improve the look of the comic eventually.

Huge fan! Love your work! However since youβve tried this program your comic pages have been more pixelated with a huge loss of detail when you zoom in because of the pixels. And the pixels are even more noticeable in the music video pages.

Itβs more likely than you think!

A girl that's... into girls? Nooo, what, in a Kip comic??? Get outta here!!

Yes I really like the texture it brings. It's matter of figuring out the proper density so it's not so in your face but still visible
Kipteitei
Yeah a lot of manga artists tend to use a ton of black for clothes and hair, but I dislike doing that so I have to have a tone for the clothes or the pages will end up looking very white. Still not sure what's the best way to correct that
Kipteitei
There is nothing that can be done about it except looking at the picture in the correct resolution. This is an absolute pain as deviantart, patreon, twitter and whatever else displays the image in different size. The page here uses a compressed screentone because I've saved it as such on purpose. If I preserved the screentone as it would be for a manga page it ends up looking very awkward on smaller resolutions.

I don't know why, but I still don't trust her.

The screentones look pretty good. I feel like I'd enjoy them more if they were kept more to the background to add some texture, if that makes any sense. Your art has been getting better and more consistent over the years, so I'm sure you'll figure out a good balance. Looking forward to the new pages!

Everything (that isn't "white") has a... film grain sort of effect to it... Makes it look low-rez.

to me the presence of texture is nice in general. less of a computery-gradient feel. although when the images display smaller than actual size (which is common), the screentones can get crunched into less pleasing patterns resembling a grid or checkerboard. i don't know what to do about that.

Looks fine right now and can only get better as you use it more. So is Saiya staring at her belly as she munches away?
ConcreteSeconds
It looks great but the dot pattern is a tad distracting
Kipteitei
Haha I know the pain! Layers switching when you don't want them to is a nightmare which tends to happen when you change a program a lot
Kipteitei
Sometimes the background is blank on purpose, it isn't meant to portray the full scene in every frame especially when it's focused on the characters. Some manga artists do full backgrounds for every panel and some do a lot less. Tho I do think the top panel should have had a bg there's too much empty space.
Monkfish
Bruh looks great

The manga tones look nice. Though, it can look distracting when put next to the rest of the existing pages. Though, itβs kinda too early to judge at this point lol. Also, isnβt there supposed to be a window next to them on the first panel? Not as bad as Saiyaβs left feathers not being colored in from one of the earlier pages, but still lol.

I'm fine w the screen tones. Good luck, I tried a drawing program once and went right back to Photoshop. Having a set of standard drawing tools was good but layers just would not behave.
Kipteitei
Hmm? Like what?
Not bad at all! I kinda like the new texture
Blakus
Looks brilliant
Hook
I'm so glad you make the belly button visible.

I sense something missing in the background
