The work ya put into this whole thing is impressive, and the work paid off. From an art direction standpoint, the character design is excellent and distinct, able to be unique without being too complex, which is actually rather difficult to achieve. The shading is simplistic, but works well. Personally, when I decide to shade something, I can never leave the damn thing alone. The use of color is pretty good, decently vibrant, but not gonna make m’ eyes hurt. The lines are sharp, yet slightly rough enough to give the handmade charm, like they were done with a fine pen.
From a story standpoint, it’s pretty satisfying. Naturally, karma is a very enjoyable thing, and it’s nice to see little Acorn get a new chance at life. The pacing is decent, and it has a proper arc. It kinda reminds me of when I was a kid, and reading the first book to a graphic novel, there were certainly questions to be asked about characters and the world by the end of the first book, but the book also maintained a beginning and end, which is what this comic has also succeeded in doing. There’s certainly room for future additions, and I’m looking forward to it, but at least this doesn’t cut off on a big ol’ cliffhanger.
I consider myself somewhere in the neutral territory when it comes to hugbox vs. abuse. I do have high-empathy, but like most people, often have the wish to punch that which annoys me. When violence was done here, it was done pretty well, and was a good deal brutal. I don’t think it was ever really “too much” for what it was, just considering the nature of the fluffy community, and the context of the story. Plus, that said, it didn’t detract from the story, which is good, because if ya wanna tell a story ya gotta tell a story, sure if someone wants to make something for gore are the focus that’s fine, but ya gotta know which you’re doin’, and sometimes movies and/or shows make the mistake (or cheap choice) to have gratuitous violence (or sex, that’s a common one too) that ends up not really adding anything.
Anyway, the flip side of the coin is cuteness, and Acorn… is bebby. He’s what can be called a mature-child character. What I mean is emotional maturity. He’s young, so he might make mistakes, and he has limited power and knowledge, but he seems to wanna always try to do the best he can, which is really all you can ask from a child. Leafy is what can be categorized as an “authoritative” parental figure (the others being “authoritarian”, “permissive”, and “absentee”), which means having set standards + being supportive of a child’s emotional needs. So, high effort, high reward. Acorn hopefully will be able to grow up into a well-rounded adult fluff someday.
One of the absolute best fluffy-related works ever created, really.
Oh, and I love Faust with the red berries. I’m about to get kinda dark here, but my mom actually has a tattoo on her back of a crow on a rowan branch, because it has meaning to her. I can’t really explain the context for a variety of reasons, I’ll just say that crows are sorta like… a guardian of babies to her. Hell, my name is actually raven related.
Protecc the Acorn bebby, Faust. 
Acorn characteristics was due to his trauma and will try to live and survive thats few gene he somehow inherit from his smarty father but evolving abit for his own survival as to follow rules or he wont get any nummies.
