I love the color choices, perca.  Honestly never seen neon yellow gutters before, and I quite dig it.

The payoff to the Giant Balloon of Exposition, the crudely drawn pages, was charming, but totally didn't make up for the fact that one entire page of this comic is a god damn dialogue balloon!!! Lol

Also, I'm gonna have to read some backlogs to see where they originated, but I really love the design and concept of the Orphanage Society.

THanks for reading everyone, I still can't figure out how to get perfect lines in photoshop, it always holds on to some of the pencil lines no matter how much I erase or brightness/contrast. I hate it.

I only write stories from the point of view that I usually don't give the reader any information that the characters in the story don't have. Its just a personal preference and I can understand if people don't like, it just makes the story more realistic to me.

@Perca thanks for the fight! and for maintaining Rev's badassery!

with typos <3 I do em with love



*gothology* I'm a fool.

@amazingdavid: I'll give it a try next time, I think I got what you mean.

@JV7X: Err... well, it seen you enjoyed the read at least? I'm sorry, but I got complains about b/w last time, had to try something else and get the feedback from it...

Now it's official that I can't make everybody happy with the same comic XD I swear next one will make everybody glad, ideas rolling. Chapter breaks and text page.. were supposed to be a joke and break the pacing, so seen I succeeded on making people mad at me at least (or at least get some "wtfs"). I always say I'm a bad person, and it will get worst. With love.

I thank everybody for reading the comic and hitting me, will try even harder next time to entertain you guys. Mic, tx for the fight, and forgive me for any retarded shit I did that could make you feel bad - hope nothing  to regret. Ghost was fun to redesign and write, I apologize for not abusing him as i abused the others, but he was the serious baddass figure of the comic, I tried to keep him that way >: D

Ghotology. > _ > *** No more evil for a while, no more hates.

Michaelharris - Nice comic.  I liked the pacing and the moody atmosphere.  I would have preferred a bit more in the story department and some more fleshing out of the backgrounds, but oh well.

Perca - You know as strange as it might seem, and I know I'm in the minority here, but I wasn't really feeling those colors.  I felt they took me out of the comic quite a bit.  I think I'd really prefer your work in black in white, it feels more dynamic.  To me, anyway.  I also wasn't crazy about the chapter breaks.  Again, they took me out of the story.  Same goes for the wall of text on page 18, tho I did like the drawings that followed.  Art was top notch and I liked the voices of the characters.  Very high marks from me on this one.  

Good battle,
JV

Perca:  As fro contrast I was talking about the difference in value from the line work to the colors. They are all about equal (if you know value scale they sit 5-1)  medium greyish purples for the lines works and compliments for the colors. I dont think your color choices are bad at all. I think your purple line work needed to be darker however. it would have made everthing pop a bit more instead of being mushy.

Perca i think maybe my fights will take place in your version of Void from now on

thanks for these treats both of you!

I understand the feedback and thank you for taking the time to gimme the 2 cents. I won't argue the point of view, but I think it's kinda obvious all Heat's matches are supposed to be on a fucked up enviroment and not cannon at all (that was my idea with the char from the beginning, parody all the stuff I could on the serious enviroment of void - I do know the way the Orphanage goes and the White Jackets and everything I used, but it was my choice to build Void in a way everything is simple and retarded, like my character), maybe I didn't get myself clear and need to study that to fix it in next comics. My Void is not cannon in it's exence. People can use the events that happen on my comics or not (like the option with all other comics on the site), but never expect me to go for a serious cannon interpretation of previous work. That's not the idea I go for this char at all. Sorry if people got me wrong, as I said, I'll make myself clearer next time.

About colors... I dunno, back at KOM I did something different. My technicle was cheap, it was a experimentation that worked, but honestly, it has nothing special to it. Back there I didn't study color theory or anything, it was a luck shot. I hate those comics and I lack the ability to understand why the stuff I think is better now do not amaze people like my old stuff. Will try harder next time, but I'm sure that I'm not doing Spiral stuff forever in my live. I don't like that style to be honest. I'm planing doing next comic on the KOM style to prove my point. Each comic has a color/style/inking approach that works with the theme and story. My shine-happy-people style back there would never work with Heat, I will show soon XD



That's what I get for trying to solve plot holes all at once. Had to deal with the demon I claimed, fix Heat and join the white jackets in one shot, since I didn't knew when I was going to draw again.. I apologize for the slow down on the theme, all those things were really bugging me and I had to get those strings tied together somehow >_<



About the contrast... In grayscale the pages seen just fine, I checked one by one. You guys mean color contrast? I chose all the colors with a previous study to try getting the contrast right.. I would like some more in dept feedback with a solution for that, since I don't want to make that mistake again but have no idea of how to fix that. Send me pms if you preffer or hit me on aim, I don't mind just help me ha ha



You big fat liar. I will never color a fight against you again. EVER!

To everybody else so far, tx once again for taking your time reading. As I always say, my comics are for entertain my readers, if I manage to do that somehow, even just a lil, it makes me all happy inside. No more text, I apologize for any disapointment I could have cause on the plot (fucking ammount of pages for so little), and promise I'll try even harder next time.

Thank you for your support. And please, keep the feedback coming. I do want to improve more and more on each comic, and I need your help for that. Thank you once again!

ps. wall of text is wall of text <3 I plan on submitting a serious char later to balance themes and practice other stuff. I don't think Heat is the kind of idea to be all versatile around. It's a simple parody char, I don't want him to became more than that even having the tools to do so. One step at time. And ignore the typos.

* that fence on the first panel  looks pretty flat

sorry about that x.x;

@michaelharris: nice ink work as usual, but some of the lines here seemed shakier and stood out more like on thar first panel, the side walk and electrick pole thing kind of look odd. Also that sense looks pretty flat like it made of thin paper, I think it could of used some dark shadows on the edges to make it pop more. The story was rather short but still cool, nice job dude

@perca: Hawt...I really dig those colors, they looked good. Story was also great, a very fun read :3

Mich: I find all of your comics interesting, mostly because I have to read them  a few times to really grasp them. I DO enjoy how you do your blacks and whites. The more you battle I think the tighter both your art and your storytelling will become.

Perca: It's a fun and zaney comic. I enjoyed the set up, I enjoyed the first part, I didn't really enjoy the splash page of text, and the end was cute and funny. However some things, while cute in the comic, didn't really mesh with how some of the gangs or orginizations that other people have made or run work. (White Jackets, Orphan, and so on. For one, how the White Jackets work is against what you have in the comic... the setup for the gang and getting in and all that.) And honestly... I am not a fan of the style you use for Heat. I know others really do, but I miss the vivid and colorful style you had in your King of Monsters entries. They really did shine and wow readers. And while this style is cute and interesting, it really lacks the impressiveness and depth that your previous works had. And I, for one, miss that.

For all of that, I still have to give the edge to  Perca here.

Mike...this be the favoritest one you've done so far...the additional details (like would grain n such) help separate your characters from the bgs...yeah this was good...

Perc....Im gonna say nice nice nice...I think this was a bit slower than some of your other entries but theres nothing wrong with being versatile. oh and I thinks you needed a bit more contrast...ooooooh hahaha...and Dromos on the splash page looks like a giant penis...WTG!!

I actually did the whole thing in color and didn't like it. there is still a little bit of color on the first page that I didn't notice until now...

i <3 H.E.A.T.

Loved 'em, yo. Both of them.

both were pretty good.

Michael> I got lost in some of those inks, try and make it that dark but clearer in some way, so that we understand everything perfectly. I'm sure it will get better and better in the next comics.
Plus this time I perfectly understood the comic! Great work!

Perca> As usual, this was REALLY REALLY REALLY good.

great comics dudesss

michael - your inks still look a little pixelated at times but are generally so rad and stylish it makes it alright.

perca - usually I would say to add more contrast, but for some reason I think it works well like this.

wow, one of my fav battles so far! :DDDDDDDDD

I liked them both very much and will critique them later, for I must rest now... it was just too much awesome for me. 8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I'm so tired damn it T_T FUCK MIC YOUR INKS MADE ME WAKE UP, YOU BASTARD! Ow man... You draw everything better than me, I hate you and your american ways! Fockkkk

The pacing is like those action movies, I loved! And you made Zeros ha ha ow my... I love you man. I think I'll need to reread when I'm awake for reals to get everything, but wow, that's gorgeous use of bw, as always. You lied to me boyo, if you said you were going bw for reals I would fuck everything with my tones again>_>

Ha ha ha don't make me draw for 3 weeks mic, seriously >_> I was panicking cuz if u wanted I would accept it like 4 days ago when I didn't had any sleep doing those damn pages ha ha Now pff...

damn americans...

and canadians...

damn brazilians...

probably not, just noting that its there and convenient. quit panicking!

Wait, your'e asking for an extension?? Ow man....

ahahaha, thanks for the handy, dandy, anti-bitch, extend button!

GHOST TOASTER

I lied and I'm coloring this comic. Sorry Mic, I don't want to drop less than my best over you >:I I don't want excuses when I lose. Simple like that.


For the record, Ghost Revolver is a badass NIGGA in my heart, no matter what *fixes all the pages* Bugger.

YAY! Perca's gonna win you know.

Ok, I'm all over this match now, no distractions!!!! Grrrrrrrrr It's more than ON!

And beavers. Don't you be forgetting those.

You.. and..your..LOGIC!

AND MOOSE!

Oh..so if it was written in the stars how did it happen before the big bang?  You better study up on your astrophysics homie!!!

a muddy fight all night long....

Mike is right you are so dirty...

Can I bring my moose?

XD I'm that awesome >:I *plays "fighter -Christina Aguilera* Let me dress up for the muddy fight, hold on.

tee hee, its dirty...

Hunf I can take north americans and canadians all night, in fact I will. >:I This was supposed to happen before The Big Bang happened, was written in the stars, I tell you. FUCKING BRAZILIAN POWAAAAAA!

...y canadiense...

VIVA LA NORTE AMERICANA!!!

Ha ha ha that translator is so fucked up that made me collapse from laughing. I won't be able to draw anymore, yay!

I like my Ghost Revolver toasted.

Wao, how did this fly under my radar!?!?!

Eu fui a um Web site da tradução dizer-lhe quanto América mais fresca é do que Brasil em sua própria língua. América é melhor que Brasil para sempre.

8D

'Nuff said.

OHHHHH YEEEEAHHHHHHH.
