i honestly on this one just didnt know who to favor. . .i really honestly loved both. . .for totally differant reasons. . i seriously hope to see much more on void from both fighters. . .this. . .is just the first ROUND! jeesh!
Axia: Wow. That was brilliant! ^_^ I liked the random, madcap feel of the entire submission. It went well with the idea of the tournament.
Orange: I feel like i'm gonna have to go read your fighter page now, because that just confused the heck out of me! It was pretty to look at, but really confusing becuase everything just ran together.
Izzy, with a little more effort for the art I would probably say you were the winner - but seriously there's hardly any detail, hardly any shading, just a very bland looking comic. The story was very entertaining up until the final page though. Pretty good entry.
Yosai, excellent art as always. You had an engaging story, this was an interesting comic. The ending was especially interesting, leaving on a hook ~ and the broadcast cutting in and out was also excellent for setting a mood to this.
This battle was probably the best of the first round, both comics were very entertaining.
i gotta give my vote to izzy, yours felt more like a comic to me. yosais was totally pretty, but it was way too sporadic and unconnected for me to really get into. you could pretty fucking awesome layouts though, keep pushing that.
.....plus i love how izzy draws tits.
yosai took the quality department for me easily... but started to lose it a bit with the creativity. what really lost me though was everything after the first explosion(?). things happened, but nothing felt connected... then that last part... what was that about? ...maybe it's just me and i missed something, i don't know.
izzy, the end was a bit anticlimactic, but overall, i'd say you did a great job... though panels 4 and 5 could have used a bit more speedlines or some blur or something. i knew it was moving, but only after going through the next few panels or so...
overall, i loved both. yosai came in with a strong start, but was a bit too cryptic, and izzy had some solid fun, but could have opened a bit better and the close needed a touch of work...
but then i'm a noob, so talk all this yammering with a grain of salt...
till next...
*walks out from the darkness*
finally a battle I've been waiting for...
and I'll keep my comments short, since I'm a lazy person
Izzy:
great battle, nice sequences, and funny
your comic is clean and easy to understand
*love that part where Orange is disturbed by the slime*
good job ^^b
Yosai:
and again, I'm never tired of your art quality, the mood the color the everything
but somehow all of that mixed into one comic.. it's kinda hard to understand the story...
but still, it has a strong... strong... *lost of word*
so yeah you get it okay? great job d^^b
okay that's few from me, I'm going back to the darkness
Aweessooomee...
I was really looking foward to this match, and I think both of your delivered very well.
Izzy- I thought your fight was very fun. It had a straight-forward storyline and a few humorous tid-bits. I liked the introduction especially. LOL- your interpretation of Orange's character was great -- throwing her into the slime situation at the end was funny ... yet cruel. Overall, it's very good, but it doesn't look as finished as Yosai's. I still enjoyed it though :^D
Yosai- Woow, your artwork is so amazing, and very fluffy, and pretty -- it makes my heart melt. The color scheme really set a nice atmosphere, the swooshy brushwork raised the dynamic aspects of battle, yet it was disorienting as well. I also thought the convo was a bit dry, and could have been worded better to provide a little more clarity. I know Orange is very enigmatic and she thinks about things very differently, almost metaphorically -- but I think she needs to talk a bit more.
The 'puppet' theme left a little too much for the reader to interpret, I don't know if that was what you intended.
Sorry, I know I'm rambling a lot now- but I've never actually put in this effort into a comment before. Anyways, great art- nice product, some of the aspects of the fight were a little hard to follow-- but I'm giving you my vote. Hurray Yosai <3333!!!!
