Thanks, folks, for the helpful comments--like I said, I\'m pouring everything into the next battle, Mooo vs. Itami.  I\'ll probably put some incomplete pages on the forum to see how I\'m doing (not the fight pages--my choreography is something I like to save).

All in all, I\'m surprised at the rankings, but it\'s still close enough to where things could change at any moment.  I\'m glad you folks are enjoying the story--yes, a guy named Mooo can still keep your attention, and don\'t worry--things\'ll just get crazier and crazier with each opponent he faces. ^_^

hey hey. capture the flag.

ok i\'m giving this battle to Moo, because I understood his story a bit more.
It just goes to show that better art, doesn\'t always mean better battle.

While Bslugeth\'s battle was very pretty at some parts, i lost track of what was happening and got lost in the blacks and whites which seemed to blend together in the middle pages.

Moo, your art was good, and I know you were under the pressure of two battles at once, but I think you could have pulled off a lot better than that, and once again, i still think there\'s a lot more writing than there needs to be.
I\'m really diggin the way you put covers/splashes on your battles.

Moo - not bad dude, though I noticed a lot more glaring anatomical mistakes in this one.  I like your style, and I admire the action, but your follow up to the fight was a bit too lengthy.  

Angie - You have a really interesting style, and certain parts of the fight are very pretty, but honest to god I had no idea what the hell was going on in most of your battle.  It seemed messy for a lot of it, and just all over the place.

Good try on both part, and kudos to moo for getting in two fights in a close period of time.

Good work to the both of you.

Moo, like others have said, faces and anatomy. I thought your story was great, with the little gags here and there.

BSlugeth: you need an easier name to spell. XP No really, I liked your comic a lot. Your style is so awesome to look at, but there are times when things get lost in the details. The last panel of page three, for instance, was difficult to tell what it was at first.

In the end, my votes went to Moo by just a point for a more entertaining story. I hope to see more from both of you. Keep it up!

Yeah, no excuses.  I basically rushed on trying to get those last few pages done, so I\'ll be making it up with my next battle.

Part of why it isn\'t as good as I wanted it to be is \'cause I got completely carried away with the script, and figured I had time to get it all done--when things come up, y\'gotta prioritize, and my comic suffered for it.

Next battle, against Itami--I WILL SHOW YOU ACTION LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE! (Probably.)

BSLuGeth, this one\'s all yours.  I want a rematch sometime--SPK rules! XD

Oh yeah, Zato talking about originality X-D j/k

Mooo: Your battle was really, really entertaining. The truck getting kicked cracked me up. Yeah, there were some quality issues, but 17 pages! Damn dude, that\'s impressive. I give you the nudge mainly because of the entertainment value, you\'re quickly becoming one of my favorite artists on here!

BSluGETH: I didn\'t find yours as entertaining, but overall the art was much better. The only thing I found odd was that Mooo kept getting buff, then skinny, then buff. Either way, the art was very good.

Angie, work on presenting the story a bit more clearly using pictures. SOme scenes look a little scrambled but self narration kept it afloat.  Your art is flowing, and that\'s just how you roll. Your style\'s got character and you aim for originality, which is why I should stress the first point, in the meantime, i\'m giving yours a second read so I can enjoy it thoroughly

M00 chan, I figured you to be a stereotype gaian, but your basic style brought a lot to the table and you fleshed it out thoroughly. Work on keeping your faces and body structures consistent, but faces especially. Your story had an interesting turn around at the end,action effects  and Mal always cracks me up.

Wow, it\'s pretty odd how you both ran along similar storylines, but they were both entertaining reads.

Mooo : You had some good action panels, definately. The pacing was pretty even, nothing slowed down or sped up too harshly and the artwork was good for the most part. BUT, I DID catch that drop in quality for the last few pages or so, and the massive lack of background left your panels feeling empty. The faces and anatomy were also inconsintent, moreso for faces and facial structures (along the same lines, I think Angie\'s facial expressions were sort of out of character for her). Also, I was really disappointed with Mooo resorting to SHEERFORCEOFWILL to \"beat\" Angie in the end; I KNOW your thing is all about super-brawler stuff, but still, that\'s an ending I\'d EXPECT. You should ALWAYS try to be creative with your comics, and bring us something we\'ve never seen before !

Angie : This is a DEFINATE improvement over your last fight. Your style is absolutely killer, and the pacing is just right for what this fight is. I\'m ESPECIALLY liking Angie\'s dialogue near the end of the fight, it\'s so wonderfully mellow, and it really expresses her character\'s attitude with supreme ease. Like Mooo, there are certain background issues that bug me (mostly the white-open-space panels), but those panels that have tones on them really set a mood for the setting they\'re in (at least, better than Mooo\'s entry did). The ending also makes this entry mildly more interesting than Mooo\'s; it\'s great to see characters who work around their problems without resorting to SHEERFORCEOFWILL.

So by a FEW points my vote goes to Angie. I look forward to more fights in the future.

Moo....like I told you already.....good inks but you need some finetuning with yer pencils before you leap into the inks....both of these were submitted awfully fast and you would have been better served using that time to sharpen these

Angie: you just need more of what I\'m seeing here.....you are definitely on the right track....yer just cruising a little too slowly

le gasp !! I better see some action here !

Like I\'ve said before, I guess both our battles will be a little half-assed.

I\'ll be uploading in a little bit.  The battle itself is incomplete, and I won\'t make excuses.  Sorry for the disappointment.  Hope you folks enjoy the pages I DID get finished.

Give him the junkyard warfare rap Angie

oh snaps

Bite me, Action Italian.  Eight pages pencilled, of a planned sixteen.  The cover\'s colored, but that\'s staying the only colored page.  You\'re gettin\' the special treatment, BSLuGeth, with a Beyond Battle and all. XD

Yay, another fight, how get to work Monkey Boy!!!
