Holy shit. Nice match up!

TDK - Your establishing shots are fukking awesome. Loved the pacing and environmental detail.
Them light greys really help alot with the mood and stuff. Felt like it was sunny in the beginning.

Jingu - Likewise, the detail rocks! The use of black is really impressive.
I love how you went back and told the tale of Void City. Especially the Warsaw cameo all shadowy.
At some points the dialogue almost blends in with the background, but not too big of a deal.

Ugh, you two >:c  You both need to advance so i can have a chance at the two of ya's

Jho - I really like the world you've built up for void, the whole time i was reading this, i felt like i was watching it on tv if that makes sense, very believable. Gorgeous inks, and all the extra characters you squeezed in were like marshmallows in the lucky charms. Also, it seems like all of your MegaMan practice for udon rubbed off in this comic, robot schematics, metall hard hats.  I love it all.

TODK - Uuughh, i didnt think you could step it up so fast from your robot rumble, but you have.  I always liked your BG's, but you really did nice on these one, great straight lines and such, everything really looks so much nicer than stuff i've seen previously, your faces are also looking much better too.  Excellent dialogue, good panel layout, (though the spaceduck poster text runs around from shot to shot), and nice opening for the next chapter.

you two tore it up, great job!
I dunno what im gonna do now augh!

dk, it's amazing when you get something finished! this was fantastic. totally made me nostalgic for gunnm the whole time.  
jho, that was great. i'm in the camp thinking the only problem you have is that you need to battle MORE! it's selfish but fuck it! I said it!

Both of you did such wonderful work, for srs.

TODK: Your backgrounds are gorgeous and your dialogue works so weeeeell...maaan. You had a great story, I really loved how you illustrated J.J's personality and expressions. Really great work here. Everything looked good to me, I've no complaints.

Jho: I really wish you'd battle even more so I can read more of your comics... because you do such awesome work. You really do. I cannot get enough of your inks,woman; they are just so lovely. This was a great read as well, I liked the story and the bit of humor in it.

jesus, both of you pumped out amazing top-notch comics. This is a matchup that feels like it should've happened later in the tourney, so we could squeeze a couple more comics out of both of you.

Haven't voted yet, finding it hard to come up with the numbers.

Excellent entries from both of you. :)

TODK- Wow, the pacing and story was excellent.  I've read almost all of your comics and they always have this easy to follow pace/paneling to them that I love.  The story its self was very touching in a subtle way.  Pandora is in my opinion, one of the best characters on Void, because her character is extremely believable.  Every story you write shows a different part of her character, and I don't think anyone else on Void has come close to you in that respect.  The dialogue is excellent, it feels like each character has their own voice seperate from their basic personalities (If that makes sense), it never feels phoned in or scripted...Just natural.  Excellent job, very inspiring.

Jho- Great comic as well, but I didn't find it AS strong as TODK's because despite the excellent and gripping Void backstory, the world you portrayed didn't seem as wide/believable as TODK's.  Your poses are great and now I can see (Better) what you mean about my own posing.  Either way, great story and presentation.

I laauuuvvv these~ sooo much laaauuvv~ <33

DK: Your storytelling skills are way beyond me. The characters and scenes are so well written, I don't know how you manage to think it through so thoroughly in such a short amount of time. Fucking brilliant. My only concern is how often and quickly you change scenes sometimes. Flip-flopping from one place to another so quickly kinda makes me head spin and I had to re-read a few pages to follow. Other than that, amazing work.

Jho: You are way too hard on yourself, lady. Really you are. Your lines were fantastic, while the whole silhouette thing is certainly something to keep in mind, you're really not as far from achieving that as you think. My main issue with your comic was the word bubble placement. On more than one occasion, I found myself reading them out of order either because a response would be placed too far away, or a bubble would be placed way further up on one panel than the panel before it- drawing my attention to the wrong panel at the wrong time.

lksdjfs Assuming I make it past this round, I would gladly step aside to let you both move on, really I would. You guys are amazing. <3 Slight bump ahead to DK for having a complete comic. Other than that, you're both pretty well tied in my book.

Beautiful stuff from both of you.

Jho got a couple points in her favor to me simply for adding an icy frosting of lore to the character dev story.

You guys are both great.  I really mean that.  You both have an absolutely wonderful sense for pacing.  TODK, I love your backgrounds and your somberness.  Jho, your work is equal parts humorous, cool and down to earth.  I really liked the Void myth/history part!  Wonderful!

Jho, stop saying you failed. You may not have reached your goal, but what you got here is DYNAMITE! It was really great stuff! Serious, art and story had me really sucked into this!

Tom, That was great! You and your crazy "let's make everything as cluttered as possible so there's a lot of detail" backgrounds were great as usual!

I honestly had a hard time voting here. It was stupendous

hey man thanks for the great entry, i was KO after that shit

now to real comment, I really love the way you draw backgrounds, it really reminds me of my time in china/shanghai complete with the dirtiness. You have a very good knack of drawing perspectives as well. I like the way you did the tone on the first page, and you are right that your inks really shines with extra shade or color. considering HOW YOUNG YOU ARE i can't wait to see how much awesome your stuff going to be in the future.

I like the way you handle the pacing but that maybe is just my own biased preference, as I like this type of stories. You have a pretty good knack at scripting as well, the dialogue are pretty believable and it flows really well. I think if there's any bit of critique, is that you should consider using bigger baloons and slighty bigger text, you can totally afford to since you have plenty of space- though it probably will require a bit more of advanced planning, but i think it'll help immensely.

Regarding toning, I like what you did on the first page and I like the quality of your overal 'calm' feeling you have. I'd like to see you experiment with more contrast in the future though, not because this is bad but I just wanna see how it will look like.

great entry, I enjoyed it. thanks for playing man I'm glad I faced you the first round. SOrry I didn't deliver, I was way too indecisive on executing my own plan :( good luck and thanks again for the read.
