I you saw a webcomic page that looked like this, would you consider this good art and coloring?

So i,ve been using HTTYD fanart and comics to practice sketching with the blue pencil, inking and coloring in the style I want to use for my webcomic Namesake.

Why "How to train your dragon" fanart? Because it's easier to focus on the technique if you don't think too hard on the character designs. Also, it's fun to draw.

The drawing above is a pretty good example of the inking, drawing and coloring style I want to use for Namesake. I find this to be decent looking while still being really fast. I started this drawing around 7h30pm last night. Finished around 1ham. So that's about... 4 and a half hours. That's pretty fast! At this speed, I could garantee three updates every week without it taking over my life or without it preventing me from working on my contracts, published comic pages, commissions or LJ posts.

What do you guys think? Would this count as good art? Good webcomic art? Should I change stuff? Would you read something drawn like this?

Thank you all for your opinion!

EDIT : if you're all interested - it's an "How to train your dragon" fanart that focused on Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless' scars, and kinda showed how Toothless was a big kitty that likes to crawl in bed. Hiccup is the proud owner of the biggest bed in all of Berk.

....yeah, i'm awful about his head-thingies. I don't have very good references. I'm still waiting for the art book XD

Diane, you're anal about everything! JUST KIDDING! *laughs*

I don't think this will kill me because it takes so little time. And colored webcomics have a tendency to attract me people, give or take. So why not!

I miss talking to you. We have to stop playing Messenger tag.

The art book is pretty light on awesome references...but still worth having for someone as in love with the movie as you. ^_- I think you'll have a lot of fun with all of the unused dragon designs!

I AM AN ARTIST! We are anal by nature, are we not? Besides, if you're going to do something, you want to do it well, correct? Such is the way, and the curse, of the artist. Bwa ha. (Do you hear doll Renge complaining? Do you? I bet she likes being accurate to her drawn self.)

Yeah...last week was craziness with work, nieces and nephew to help watch during most of the week, and then some of the siblings coming for Mother's Day. But I have the next two days off, nothing to sew (until I unearth my sewing table), so I'm going to try and be online. ...which means I better get to it!
