I will just say all these 1 day comics are better stuff than what I can produce in one week, you all did amazing and I will just do quick comments for each battle since a lot of these are 1 day ones.
Yarn: This was a fantastic comic and i love the texture that resulted fromt he water color on the paper you used, it fits the tone really well.
Golden: I'm interested in the dolls story and hope to see more of their story and what happens to them, i also liked the string background on page two as well as you playing around with the abstract eyes.
otakutaylor: This was a cool experiment and I like this abstract type of story and want to see you try more of these kinds of stories. though for future ones where you repeat the same thing I would say have more than one element be added and have a couple more subtle changes that way the reader will be able to appreciate all the changes more and realize quicker that it's intentional.
Fukuro: Your grayscale and inks are really awesome, also the effects you did on the first panel on page 3 were cool. i also enjoyed this little interaction between the characters.
Nothin: this was a cute interaction and your character designs are cool, you make cute non humanoid figures.
Shen: I love this myth story and it's is nice world building to your unluckies comic and is a good little side story you should put up there, i think it kind of works in black and white compared to your regular comic to contrast and the fact it's a myth from the past.
Short and Sweet: Inktober

@Astrodile Oh you ARE "that guy". The one that cares and appreciates all artists. No artist left behind from here on out. Except the defaulters. But no hard feelings!
Yarn: As everyone said, this was a fantastic spooky read. I love the effort to use traditional media as much as possible. But, I think there are a lot of instances where the letters are smudged, broken, or is over a dark background and hard to see. Artwise there are a few parts where the perspective or anatomy is weird like her head in pg3 panel 1, her whole body pg3 last panel. Finally pg3 (lol idk why i pick on this pg) the mirror hand's fingers switch direction completely between reaching and grabbing her head. That aside, this was amazing and stylish and an incredible effort.
Golden: Very tragic, but beautiful concept. I wonder if it was even meant to be longer, as I wanted to know what would happen to the doll after it was dropped. Would it cry? Would it finally speak, and reveal it was alive to her? IT JUST CANT END LIKE THIS!!! *sob* Anyways, I'm sorry you were unable to finish, as it looks like a lot of love and effort was put into its conception. I think it's definitely something to consider in future contests--a smaller story even if not as amazing would at least meet deadlines. But, I hope you do finish this later, as it will be truly incredible!
OtakuTaylor: Now this was interesting! Even though it's just one page modified in different ways, it's perfect for the metaphor of restarting and remixing for the sake of finding "perfection". I see you in this old sculptor, especially at the end when he smiles at his work despite all of the "failures" finally making those broken pieces into something new. Well done, Taylor!
Fukuro: Great comic! Really love the humor here. Panels are neatly stacked, but varied just enough to not look boring. pg3 second to last panel felt a bit too small to capture the needed detail, but maybe shifting the perspective less overhead so you can see both guys more clearly. Other than that, you did a fun, well-paced read!
Nothin: Cute comic! I like the relatable story, and the characters have a lot of charm. Looks like you meant to do more pages, but at least the 'cute witch' is satisfying.
Shen: This was a fantastic read! The paneling is dynamic and spectacular! Also to do this in one freakin' day, that just blows my mind *o* Maybe the last page the abyssal king's expression is a bit underwhelming. Final panel could be moved downward and enlarged for dramatic effect. We can see the vast emptiness of the deeps contrasted with the light above. Again, this was a solid comic. I'm nitpicking hard just to fill this paragraph.XP Well done!

Astrodile: Not to be that guy, but you should all also share just as much love to the other five people who submitted (And also did their comics in one day!). All of these are great and I'm gonna do my critique eventually, but I'm proud of all of you for doing what you could within the little time you had. <3

oh absolutely. I am formulating proper critique for all submissions.

Heathen: I’m busy at work, so I’m just gonna comment on these as I read them.
Yarn, your comic is awesome. If you really did all that in one day, you are truly an inspiration and a force of nature. That’s 2 weeks worth of a comic, and doesn’t need an excuse. Very well done.

I'm joining the "done in a day" crowd! but im really happy with it.
I enjoyed working on this because it let me explore something that was hard for me to get over in real life, and still be okay with the solution not being perfect!

I'm in the same boat as Shen ; v ;
Work, job interviews, all combined with commissions and burnout, I basically did this in a day too
A page is missing, but I hope it's still at least nice to look at for what's near complete

oof I'm sorry, I did NOT have the time/energy/motivation so i ended up doing my entire comic literally in one day ><; I'm sorry. Don't feel too compelled to crit this too hard, I already know.
The story is a folktale i made up for Unluckies worldbuilding.

Typical Astro Sean fashion as of lately, I am defaulting on my own event... I ran into some bad luck the past week and my laptop completely shit the bed. I do work traditionally, but don't have a way to scan my pages or upload them without the use of my silly MacBook Pro. Sorry for being a letdown. No excuses though! I hope everyone had fun and submits something!

Yarn:
Love the tone you have going here! I always liked the watercolor look so it only added to the experience of reading your comic!
Goldie: I know it’s unfinished and you had another page, but it still reads amazingly! You had some great layouts. The way it ends here really pulls at my heart.
Taylor: I dig this concept alot haha. Sure, maybe a few more details would have added to the enjoyment but I still appreciate the stark changes in the shading! Abstract comics are alot of fun and now I kinda want more
Fu: I honestly can’t read your comic without fucking laughing. I love it.
You used 69 Seven times and 420 eleven times.
Nothin: Short and sweet! Just as promised haha. No really~ It’s pretty cute simple comic! Very nicee
Shen: Love me some Unluckies and I’m always happy to read more lore from the world you have been building!! You did a great job with the water ~
