This is really a tricky line to try to walk. On the one hand, the last thing I want to do is make you feel down about your work. But on the other hand, I want to encourage you to try to improve it -- because, as you mention, your art is a little bit... let's call it "imperfect" -- and I don't know if I can give that encouragement without offering specific constructive criticisms.
When I first started reading your comic months ago, some of my first impressions were along the lines of: "Wow this artwork is really kind of terrible, but I love the concept. I think this guy needs more practice, and the best way to get more practice would be to keep drawing, so I really hopes he keeps going with this."
One of the reasons I mentioned relative heights specifically is because (and I don't know anything about drawing so I might be completely wrong about this) it seemed like it would be something relatively easy to improve upon if you try. And I'm not even talking about the problem of fitting Myau into a panel that also includes someone else, that's obviously a much trickier issue and I don't have a solution to suggest. But making Alis a little bit shorter than Lutz, and Lutz a little bit shorter than Odin sounds to me like a feasible starting point for improvement.
