Hobbitastic: As many have mentioned, the story is rushed. I would recommend in the future that you find a 'resolution' to your story. You have a good starting point for the story, where they spark conversation, but what the story lacked was how it should have ended, or a reason to why it would have ended the way it did.
Evi: This is cute, but watch out with some shading. I can see it on pixel princess's dress, where you got a little sloppy.

Hobbit my dear, the story is a bit rushed don't you think? Also you might want to use a different brush when lettering comics. Or a smaller one, as it distracts the reader. Treat lettering like another extension of your glorious comicking "madz skillz". Take an example from Stan Sakai or other artists who take care of both, story and lettering as it is essential to any comic artist.
Evi my darling, the roughness adds a certain je nais se quo to your storytelling but as my other colleagues below have mentioned before, the panels are bit on the off side. A little tweak here and there would do you no harm, as it my experience playing around with art styles lends a certain derring-do spirit to the whole barrel.
Jolly well done both you. Fantastically fantastic on the whole.

Hobbitastic: Not sure what happened, the first page doesn't seem to have much of anything going on, and I don't understand why she ended up killing the onion princess. But I liked the art and colors fo sho~
Evi: I really like the colors, texture, all that, but I don't think the panels should be THAT loose.
Great job both of you!

Hobbit - I like your vivid colors. Is Pixel's nose a Tetris block? In any case, I love it I enjoyed the animated way you do your action scenes. In a lot of scenes I think Onion Princess's arms are too long, and she seems generally elongated from the waist up. The very end confused me a bit--I think the scene would have been better served if you zoomed out as Pixel was running at Onion--so in that case panel 3 on the last page would give the kill more impact. Great work in one week though--can't wait to see more from you!
Evi - I love Onion's deisgn--she should be Vespertina's little sister It's a cool idea that the cover page leads right into the action, but it could've been a bit clearer as to what Pixel was fighting. The princesses' interactions are cute and you really did a nice job of building the suspense. The actual killer was well designed and a neat surprise. I look forward to seeing you continue this style in more comics!

Hobbit -
I found your story a little confusing. I wasn't sure what got Pixel onto the whole 'Her request" topic in the first place, and why it was there. Those first three panels seem oddly unnecessary too. What is going on there, why was that important? This could totally just be me being stupid though!
Your colour choices were fearless! I really loved that burning pink right next to those strong greens.
Evi -
If this tournament was judged just on how amazing a princess was, Onion Princess would totally win. She's the cutest thing ever. I love how you can take a character that only has one emotional state ,crying her eyes out, and pull so many different expressions and feelings out it. It's mindblowing. And adorable.
I really like the roughness of the colour, and how you used squares throughout the comic as a design element. The way you played with light was lovely too, and so dramatic.

Whoops! For anyone wondering, their location is suppose to be a forest/woods; that's why the green backgrounds tend to have the girls in their normal color pallet. I need to work on establishing shots better. Sorry for any confusions! I really appreciate any and all feedback because you guys have a lot of helpful things to say.
And Evi, I loved your comic!! Was waiting to read yours because Onion made me so curious. Her story is really interesting and your style is unique.

ahhhh Hobbittastic I love your entry! you have a nice solid style and I love how you drew my little Onion <3 I really like how dynamic your poses and expressions are too! The whole energy about the comic was so enjoyable.
and Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm so happy you guys liked it overall, as for the backgrounds... I was so focused on the dialogue and interactions I totally forgot about it D: that was a silly mistake on my part. I will definitely put more thought about it in the future!

Hobbit - I like the style and I like the story. Though I'll have to say, are those supposed to be bushes or clouds. I couldn't really tell.
Evi - Others have pointed this out already, but the comic could use some backgrounds. Like are they supposed to be in a room or a cell or what? Maybe add some things like a table or a chair or something. Aside from that, that is really great.

Hobbittastic: Some really great work here, your art is super solid and the pixel effects are a lot of fun. The dialogues is pretty great too. I guess the only thing was that I wasn't sure what was going on at the start with Pixel Princess just looking around, and as Bobo said - how Onion Princess died (or why helping her find her way turned into killing her). Still awesome work, I hope to see more of you even if you do get knocked out.
Evi: Aaah also amazing artwork. I love the way the knight came in, the interaction between the characters was just really nice in this. Beautiful colours. As has been said you could have used a bit more in the way of backgrounds to give a sense of setting but this is really solid.

Hobbittastic: I'm happy to see you battling! I looooove your colors, your character expressions and gestures, and your adorable princess. I have to admit, however, that I was really confused at a few things, like what was happening at the beginning of the comic, where the heck everyone was, and why and how Onion Princess was killed. I think I know what you were going for, but it didn't quite work for me. I really really hope you keep making comics, though, because your art is beautiful and I want MOAR.
Evi: Yep, that did it for me. You've got me hooked, and I'm going to be waiting anxiously for the next installment if you win this round! I'd like to see a little more environment, however. The backgrounds were pretty bare and gave me no feeling of why the characters where together or even where they were. Can't wait for more from you!

I have to be honest with you Hobbitastic, I wasn't all that impressed with the character sheet you put in, but having read your comic I apologize for ever doubting your skills as an artist: Nice posing, great coloring-job and entertaining story - Now just put in some refinement on your backgrounds and you'll go far! Sorry for doubting you man, great job!
Evi: What can I say? Just a great stuff all around; I love how you portray such a cute princess in such a dark matter, and the color-palette is really well chosen. Solid effort!
I can see this one go to the wire, good luck to the both of you!

I'm really impressed with both of you! This one is a close call. I gave the edge to Evi because she knows what I like hahaha.
Hobbit: The art was super solid, and when you got into the fighting, the fluidity of your poses were perfection, I love that exaggerated arch of the back on Onion Princess on page 5. I also actually really liked that on those pages, to minimize the amount of artwork covered, the speech was thrown in as it is, and it was always clear who was speaking. The dialogue itself really shined through for both personalities, as well. I think the second half of the comic was really your shining moment, the first half I felt was not paced too well, I wasn't really sure what was going on with the first few panels.
Evi: Ohhhh mannnnn, psycho hallucinating onion princess. Sweet dear psycho hallucinating onion princess. I've already given you my feedback this morning, so we're square!
Congratulations to you both! Welcome to the site!

Suuuubmitted!
So I tried this messier, experimental style halfway through... looking at all of them pages together I'm not sure how well that translated, haha.
It's not perfect but I'm proud I got everything completed in a week, I have never drawn so much in such a short time!
Good luck, Hobbittastic! Looking forward to seeing your entry

The whole roughness of this comic was definitely something new to me since my usual style is very neat and crisp, I think I'll try and find a balance between the two that I can be more comfortable with next round.
