Both battles were really hilarious IMO... I\'m rooting for both.. in hopes of more funny and awesome stuff coming from either of you. Both Nova and Dr Fabulous are awesome in their own respect.. so yeah

** I meant to say of Fwolie\'s tones \"...so it does not draw too much attention FROM the action.\"

Fowlie, yours was a lot of fun. For a while I wasn\'t sure I cared for Nova, the raping deal kinda turned me off initially, but this has totally changed my mind. I\'m eager to see more comics of him whether Dude matches or no.
One complaint I have is that the comic\'s background tones seem haphazard... I think that some solid, even tones would have made the art less busy so that it did not draw so much attention to the action. Your lines already have a lot of energy, I think they would perhaps stand out more if everything else was less so... Also I think that bold outlines around figures flattne them, especially when it is cooki-cutter, not paying attention to weight and volume.. I think that it may help to vary the lines more, paying attention to those things.

ROFLMAO: dude your expressions are hilarious, there were not enough goofy \'8D\' grins for me, serious. I liked your colors, but perhaps you could have lightened the yellow a little bit? I\'m not 100% on this because I\'m on my dark, old, sucky monitor. Dr. Fabulous is great but like Kozi said, he doesn\'t seem to stand out as much as he could. It might be fun to see you push him a bit more... I think my only other complaint is the end; the quiet fade-out on the space guy doesn\'t seem to fit the tone of the rest of the comic.
My votes go to you, though; also the ending was hilarious.

Both entries had some very interesting stories going and I wish they both could go on to the next round... this is shaping up to be an awesome tournament, way to go Rofl.

Fowlie: Your style is great because it totally works with characters personality. It has this neat roughness/ cartoony way to it. But as mention before sometimes the art becomes hard to read. I found some of the clearer panels are in the bathroom scene, where you kept the cool grays in the background and the warmer grays for the characters. Maybe if you kept those two grays separate, it might help with clarity.

Story wise I enjoyed it. Any time Dr. Fabulous spoke, I laughed.

RoflQu: I like the coloring as well as the facial expressions. I wasn\'t crazy about the weird tan tint to all the pages. It made some of the word balloons a bit harder to pick up and kind of make it feel like I was in a flash back the entire time. Unless it was...but it\'s too late to use that cover now.

I did have a lot of fun with the story though. The opening was especially hilarious. I could have gone without the flashback just because it wasn\'t really needed. Changing the moon to  impress Sergio and the daydream seemed enough of a joke.

Overall both of these were fun to read and I am going to have a hard time picking a winner. Now I must be casting my secret ballot.

Fowlie:  I already told ya about it being a little murky and stuffs.  I love the raw masculinity and vodka panels.  The story is cool.  It\'s simple and easy to follow.  Also, the panels flow really nicely, which makes it really move along quite well.  Sometimes the background and foreground mix together a bit much, though, and it\'s hard to tell what\'s going on without really focusing on it.  But, overall, you did a really good job on this.

Rofl:  You\'re trying to do too much.  Draw shorter comics and work on clarity.  This was way too long, and a lot of it was hard to follow and didn\'t make much sense.  It seemed like a bunch of random things thrown together.  For the most part, your art is really good.  Some things are a bit bothersome, though.  Like the eyes and such being viewable under the hair, the texture on the background looks kinda blurry and probably shouldn\'t be in the gutters.  Speaking of the gutters, they made some of the coloring look lazy (where they were the same color as the spaceship walls).

I laughed at both battles... they were marvelous and hilarious. It was a tough choice.

RoflQu... that photographed parody on Fence\'s ending for her comic... hahaha the expressions really killed me -  Asides from that... it was fun seeing some of Dr. Fab\'s younger years.

and Fowlie.. some of the dialogue here from your comic really took the cake for me..

Great job you two, I really wouldn\'t mind either of you moving on in the tournament.

Fowlie-you did a lovely job on the lineart but I had some problems telling what was going on from time to time. I love your style and felt you did a great job setting up an atmosphere. I would have liked to see you slow down a bit on the toning so it didn\'t feel rushed. But that aside, you did great considering your time limit.

Rofl-this battle made me laugh. I think you should have planned your battle out a bit more so you could have better used your time. It\'s a shame you weren\'t able to finish but I\'m very much looking forward to your next offering. Aside from the unfinishedness, the only thing that really bothered me was the resolution of the paper texture you used kind of brought down the quality in some areas.

I second third and totally concur with Fowlie\'s Marvelousness. You really delivered hun- I\'m so proud of you! :D I laughed, I cried, reading this comic totally made me fall in love with Nova all over again. I notice a trend with all the entries is that the \'endings\' were left open for the next battle- it leaves me wanting!(and dude- HOT alien chick, rock on!)

Rofl, I already told you over AIM, but Dr. Fabulous hasn\'t really stuck out to me. I didn\'t really have much interest in him UNTIL NOW. He\'s hilarious! I totally loved the color palate you used and the unique way you drew Nova. Both of you guys just have some great stuff. This vote is going to be close! :)

Uploaded!

I think this is the first thing I\'ve put on VOID that I really LIKE how it turned out!  Sure, the last page gets sloppy, but that\'s just because I drew it tonight. XD

Can\'t wait to see the rest of the work in the first round!

I uploaded. I\'m not too happy with what I did, and if anyone doesn\'t like it, they have every right. But, I would like to thank everyone who signed up and joined this tournament, it means a lot to me. Let\'s have a good first round, everyone.
