Hey, I was just wondering if you’d be interested checking out my comic/manga http://tapastic.com/series/4THQ. Any constructive criticism or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

I gotta know your secret man... How do you make suck lovable characters? Whenever I make some, no matter how much planning I put into them, they end up as 'blandies' (Boring, uninteresting characters) T-T
Haha, I don't know if there is a secret, but I always try to make sure my characters are flawed/damaged. That makes them more relatable. Even a good villain should have an understandable plight on some level.
Knowing your characters weaknesses and strengths will go a long way in getting to know their personalities. Knowing what each character WANTS is also critical to any story. Beyond that it's just a matter of spending time with your characters, plus reading a lot and writing a lot.
That actually makes a ton of sense, making the characters relatable. o_o Thank you very much for your advice! :D I'll definitely try thinking about how I can make my characters more relatable now! ^_^
