Your Site I came here via ComicSpace.com.

I must say you have impressive Photoshop talents for a 16 year old. Whatever course you took in high school, they taught you well.
I think the non-use of blacks in your coloring fits the fantasy nature of this comic. There are a blizzard of sites that do fantasy and it seems that almost all of them follow the same coloring path that you do.

At 55, I'm much older and more traditional. My work on comicspace.com is sci-fi, not fantasy, so I use extensive blacks to convey mood.

Just remember to lighten your colors as you recede from foreground to background so that your foreground colors "pop" out. This is easier and more obvious to do when using blacks in my case. The foreground has most or all the blacks and they disappear as the picture receds into the background. Plus I can vary the line widths whereas that technique is limited when using no blacks.

Anyway, keep going. You have good stuff and you're young. You have talent. Also check my stuff out once in awhile at coomicspace.com/accolade_graphics.
