Con: Somehow I believe this all a setup for the final, everyone imaginening Morrow to be this cute and innocent character, but come the final... IT'S GUNS AND KNIVES BITCHES! But seriously though, your comics are just beyond cute - the art and story going hand in hand to create a fuzzywuzzy feeling on the insides of everyone reading..  Don't stop that :)

Albino: Aw, I know you were struggling with the deadline and everything, and given that you had just a week I'm impressed with how much you manage to deliver.. My advice for the next battle (tournament?) would be for you to really scale down your stories.. Every battle you've come up with 15+ pages, but length isn't everything.. I would love more to see 8 complete pages from you than 26 pages where they run more and more scetchy towards the end.. my two cents :) (That said, what you deliver story-wise is the good stuff.. It's just a shame that the rush detracts from that somewhat) - And thanks for the cameo, Ted looks just bad-ass there :D

Con: Well, that explains where Darius has been: LOST! Hope Morrow finds his bro soon! BTW- good story!

Albino: The whole "Void is an extreme paintball game" thing is actually a pretty good idea. Can't wait for the sequel.

Albino - That was unexpected, much epicness indeed! I totally man-squee'd at Azelle's cameos (particularly that first frame on pg4), you made her a total bad-ass! Had to read through this twice to properly follow what was going on, but now I'm hoping to see more of this story  :)

Con - Nice character development with this one, particularly with Bhindi. Definitely a comic prone to cause severe bouts of the warm-'n-fuzzies.

Turtle, that was epic O.O Everyone else was wrong, the Invitaional tournament was being held at The Emberhearts'! I seen Roy got invited ;)

I get the feeling it's kinda like paintball or rubber bullets battle in the emberhearts mansion, but then they're looking for stuff too?

IT'S AN APARTMENT! T^T
i was going to clear that out sooner or later in a BB story but i'll just say it now.
the Emberhearts come from a totally different world where war is raged on between the sex's. (well there are men and women on both sides)

peace!

Albino, thanks for the awesome round. Your entry was cute AND funny and I like how all encompassing it was. I feel like it was really going somewhere and this late in the tournament it's something that I wish I could pull off too. Something that feels like the whole tournament was building up to something. You draw Morrow absolutely adorable and medic suits him perfectly. Is it odd that I also really like how you draw Ponch? D:

Mintley:  Thank you for your feedback. The blacks took a background this time around as I was trying to do the round in complete greyscale, which is why some of the panels while filled with some background feel incomplete. I only got three pages greyed, so I thought it would be best not to submit a half and half batch and risk a quality breach. If I get the chance to finish the greys I will try and upload them somewhere.

I've always felt that Morrow does a bit better when paired with another character to work with, and seeing as their friend's Bhindi naturally fits into the fold pretty well. There will of course be comics where she is not included, but I can't help but pull in other stories to weave into mine that other folks make...it just makes making them more interesting for me, if that makes sense. I am rarely motivated to work purely on my own devices.

Bl00: My apologizes. Greys were coming but stuck in the tube. :c But thank you for your feedback.

Kinu: Diabeetus. I can't wait to get Darius into void so I can break it up a bit more.

AW, Con! That was just,...  that was... AWW! NICE story. I love the way you break the panel too! The only complaint I have is that I reeeaally wish it was in color. I would love to see what you can do with color.

Turtle, that was epic O.O Everyone else was wrong, the Invitaional tournament was being held at The Emberhearts'! I seen Roy got invited ;)
 It was a little hard to follow though. You had a lot to cram in the comic with such a large scale episode. I bet if you had more time this would have been complete and lookin' sharp! I do applaud you for trying out coloring, but I have to agree with Mintley that perhaps the time could have been spent more on refining your line work, as it is the muscle for which the colors of skin lie upon.
But nice work all around!

Albino: I get the feeling it's kinda like paintball or rubber bullets battle in the emberhearts mansion, but then they're looking for stuff too? it was a biiiig comic, and there seems to be a consistent "to be continued" factor to your comics.  It'd be nice to see a more concise story that ends, like your battle vs. Johnny Patch. Also, while the colour is nice, maybe that time could've been better spent refining some of your more sketchy lines for a more consistent quality?  It does look like you have a lot of fun with your ideas, and you make them fun for the readers as well.

Con: This was a really cute story, I think Emilia's personality really came out in this.  It sort of seemed like Bhindi was taking centre stage, but Morrow's actions spoke just as loud as Bhindi's words, I think.  I really enjoy your story and art quality, good pacing, and genuine conversation.  It's nice to see dialogue you would expect a real person to say, if you know what I mean.  Where sometimes in comics it's as if the characters are reading off a script.  The one thing I miss is the heavy blacks from some of your previous comics, where you used them, they look great! but it does look like there were more spots you could've used them to bring the quality up a notch or two.  Out of curiosity, how often do you plan on using Bhindi in your comics?

Ah but perhaps the story turns dark, as Rue goes missing... and Morrow is held by the VCPD as the prime suspect!

Hehe, good luck guys and have fun with it, also congrats on the win in the last round Albino!

This battle is gonna be sooo cute Void will lose its reputation for being a tough, brutal place and be replaced with comics about flowers and fluffy bunnies.. mark my words.
