Africa!
I always have fun drawing the cubs doing goofy things.
Even though Binti's goofy act may or may not have serious repercussions.
Also this is the first page in which I added sound effects digitally! Let me know what you think

Alright! This will be my very first ever critique, so let me get started!
First, I would like to point out that overall this page is AMAZING. As usual, the shading, lighting, backgrounds, and facial expressions are incredible!
First Panel:
I really like the anatomy here! I love how you did Binti's neck and cheeks, and the mud on her face sort of emphasizes her playful expression in a way. The mud streaks on her body as well even seem to have sticky texture through my screen, which is hard for an arist to accomplish. Great job!
Second Panel:
I would just like to say that the background is awesome! You put lots of detail in the environment, which helps brings out the true nature of this comic. Mosi's face is also priceless, and you can clearly see exactly how he feels! Binti looks amused and smug, which fits. My only critical remark is that Binti looks a bit like Chui in this panel, although it is hardly noticeable.
Third Panel:
Just... WOW! I cannot speak. The third panel is phenomenal- the anatomy, the water, the ground, the shading... WOOT! It looks great, Arven! You should be proud of yourself!
Fourth Panel:
The shading under Binti's chin and down her neck and chest make the panel look more realistic. Her facial expression is hilarious, and it made me laugh out loud. Again, the mud sticking to her fur looks great, although I might add that the reddish tinge to her eyes looks a bit strange in this particular panel.
Fifth Panel:
BUTTER MY BOTTOM AND CALL ME A BISCUIT! That flamingo is INSANELY good! The yellow, blue, black, and white swirled with the pink, the different length feathers angled in different directions, and the bones clearly visible in the leg... I can't imagine drawing that well! Again, the water is amazingly good. The lighting and the ripples in the mud stand out as well, and it looks fantastic. The way you blurred the background sharpens the flamingo and the cubs, which makes the panel easier to understand. My one other comment though, is that there may be a bit too much shading on Mosi, and it makes him rather hard to see. But the kind of watery letters you used for Binti's coughing, and her tongue hanging as well as the mud dripping from her tail out makes it clear what is going on! Amazing panel.
Overall, I think we can ALL agree that this page is beautiful. Keep up the great work! <3
