Thanks for the comments, everyone.  I\'ll be sure to work on that anatomy.  Time to break out the Loomis...

good fights, both of you.  leaning towards graphite for the overall art and completion of the battle.  but none the less both of you did well!  just to back up the previous commentor on the hands thing.  you do need some work.  some of the ninjas looked like old gi joe kung fu grip hands.  now don\'t get me wrong.... i\'m not raggin on your art... cause i\'ll be the first to tell you... I HATE DRAWIN HANDS.  but it has to be done.  so just do a lil more studying... and maybe look at your own hands when drawing.... and exhaggerate what you see.. it might help.   keep up the good work, both of you.

not bad art from either fighter. both of u REALLY need 2 work on hands, like REALLY bad. pretty entertaining tho.

Rikun\'s entry seemed kind of rushed/unfinnised in regard to the artwork.
Graphite Ronin, you draw pretty well, but your shading seems to nearly totally lack any pure black, which gives the images a kind of \"foggy\" look.

Not bad, guys!

Itami - Your figures are definetly showing improvement, but try and put more effort into them if you\'re not going to do *any* kind of background work.  Tighten up your pencils, ink them even.  You had a month babe, c\'mon!!  GIVE\'ER!

Kate - not bad buddeh, I\'m glad you stuck with a long page length in order to complete the story, but it looked pretty rushed all the way through. Your anatomy is still kinda weak in a lot of places (esp hands), but still it was a fun little romp.  ^_^  

XD WOOOOOOOOOO!!!
C\'mon Ri-Kun dont fail meh now! ^^ Hehehe =D
Can\'t wait to see what you two come up with.

why do I have a feeling that mize is at stake here.

Here\'s a dance I wouldnt mind watching! I\'m rooting for you Itami!

...wait, I\'m rooting for Kate too!

uh...Ok, well, go for a tie! Good luck!

Alright kid, you\'ve got yourself a week\'s head start while I take care of business on Armageddon.  So let\'s see some fireworks!!

Let\'s dance.
