pi-e, it looked good, wish you had finished. the stock photo garbage textures irked me a bit for some reason. but the line work was looking nice!
nightmare-01, your coloring was pretty nice but the anatomy didn\'t seem consistent. it kind of seemed rushed & elongated in some spots. did dig the subtitles though but consistency with them would have made them nice.

Pi-e: lines! i love your lines, they\'re always so crisp and smooth. And your coloring makes everything feel polished ( ecspecially with your highlights, they seem to like...\"pop\" ? XD ). oh my God, and Marcelo? You got his personality perfect here! His shirt? EVEN MORE GENIOUS <3 I got all fluttey when i saw that page; very nice ( hilarious too!) XD For some reason, i really loved the fact that you used real pics of garbage for textures. It made it hella more funny, seeing Lin in the middle of REAL garbage, looking all confused XD The only thing i have to say are the backgrounds. In the first page, where Aja is walking down the street, it doesn\'t really look like the sidewalk is going the same way she is ( i love the textures you used there, but the angle of the building doesn\'t match with the angle of Aja; i\'m guilty of doing that too D: ) That, and in that same panel, i think you were trying to make Aja look like she was walking, but the only parts that suggested that her leg was up were her coat and angle of her shoe. I think her knee should have been higher to show that. But that\'s something really small, no big deal =] Anyways, i hope you\'ll get to finish this soon, i was hella into it! XD ( Eli looked adorable by the way <3 ) And congrats on getting into your dream university! XD
Nightmare: aaawwww Eli doesn\'t really know anything about anything, huh? Pobrcito Bebe V3V As usual, i love your expressions, everyone\'s feelings are mostly always shown clearly, and that always helps us feel like we\'re watching an animation. Passed out Lin was HILARIOUS XD And i kinda chuckled out loud when Eli gave his macaroni to the duckie, that was hella cute <3 Aja\'s language barrier was shown clearly here; i could actually FEEL her frustration! I love that bottom panel on page 6, i think it looks so perfect and he looks like he\'s just DRIFTING over to her <3 It\'s interesting how you did the hair too, all the strands and what not. It always looks so soft and real =] Your paintish style always amazes me and i can\'t even imagine doing a WHOLE comic in that style. But i think maybe you should do what you used to do ( lines in your comics with those few paintish panels ). Having the whole comic painted isn\'t going to have as much of an effect than having \"cartoonish\" panels with more detailed ones. That way the important, detailed panels will stand out more. It\'s kinda like cussing; if I say \"fuck\" everyday, then it\'s not going to be as strong as me saying \"fuck\" every YEAR ( that\'s the only thing i can compare it too right now; i hope that made sense XD ). Maybe you should try also try \"zooming out\" more. Most of the time i felt really up close and in their faces ( but i DID love looking at the detail <3 ). That\'s all i can say so far; i loved this and i can\'t stop looking at all the panelssssssss~!
this was HELLA worth the wait <3

PI-E: I love love your clean lines and sharp colors, and even though you couldn\'t finish I\'m actually glad you didn\'t! I was really enjoying the opportunity to explore your artwork and see the foundation of work behind the comics you make. It inspired and was very cool to see how another Voider works.
I don\'t know what everyone else will have to say, but the language barrier didn\'t seem much of an obstacle for either fighter. They seemed to communicate back and forth like Aja understood, then in Nightmares half she\'s displays she doesn\'t understand. For such an intimate thing as giving a full grown looking animal man a bath, it was portrayed in a very innocent chaste way and thats really cute.
NIGHTMARE- I appreciated the translations to everything Elian had to say, but it started to get kind of crowded in his speech bubbles when he had alot to say. Perhaps putting carrots on the ends of his words so people know he\'s speaking another language would help? I would also suggest asking someone to proofread your translations so that the English makes as much sense as the Spanish. Como la palabra \'sobras\'. En ingles es \'left overs\', not rests.
Besides the dialogue, your color work once again astounds and amazes. The variety you bring to each page and the gradual style changes from panel to panel really work together.

lol well…that was fast O.o;
@Pi-e: sorry you didn\'t get to finish, but I still loved those colored pages! :3 and Elian looks real cute in your style. I think some English translations (I hope I said that right) would be good to add next time… since I think some people will be curious as to what Elian was saying.
@nightmare-01: Very nice work! The quality was pretty darn good
I did think the arms on the characters looked a bit short sometimes. And I’m not to sure if I like the type of texture on Elian’s honrs or tail on some panels, it didn’t really seem to blend in, in my oppinion anyways.
Still Great work!
not much else I can think of saying... nice battle guys

Well, guys... I asked Wei for an extencion. Wei I hope you got my message, if not, Pi-e\'s gonna contact you. My family\'s going on vacations and I didn\'t even see it coming. I can\'t really say no to them, so I\'m coming along. I\'ll be gone for a week starting tomorrow. If we don\'t get the extension, I\'ll upload what I can when I\'m back and have the rest be a BB. :>
Peace.
Peace.
