Description

Calliope's inner botanist freaks out when she sees the park! But her desire to have a closer look may be stymied by Sailor Oceanea!

I meant for Sailor Oceanea to look much better but I wanted to finish this page before I leave for work tonight...I'm working from 10PM to 5 AM for a special event.
I may come back and touch this page up, but right now I need to get some sleep and I can't feel my shoulderblades.

Awesome, your characters aren't standing in white space anymore. I like the background brushes you're using, but remember not to rely on these too much in the future! Still want to see handdrawn landscapes from you, after all.

The brushes I'm not too fond of are the ones you used for the garden. I think some of them look nice, but the first panel is evidence of "too much of a good thing." Personally I'm against brushes for anything other than backgrounds -- for something more important like the garden, which is the focus and main setting of your story, you really should draw that yourself.

In addition to more careful lineart, your art style is crying for shading. Flat colors help to an extent, but on the second panel I'm just wishing you had some shading on the petals or Calliope's skin, just to accentuate them a little more. I think when you're drawing smaller figures, such as Oceanea on the bottom left, shading doesn't matter as much, but when you're drawing big and you have all this huge space, it really asks for something more than just a single color.

At this point I really want you to focus on hands when you're drawing your lineart, because sometimes they can come off as just scribbles. Hands can be so expressive and they shouldn't be an afterthought to your art! They're the best indicators of body language.

Your dialogue is great as usual, but just remember speech bubble tails and spacing in the future!
