It looks like both of you guys had to rush a bit, so I'm not gonna kick the dead horse.
Kura: I'm extremely pleased that I'm not the only one experimenting with all-black shading, and that I'm not the only one experimenting with every battle. Didn't finish? No biggie, it's the experience that matters. I hope to see something from you soon, something that you can really spend a lot of time and effort on, because I know it's going to be awesome.
Dingo: What can I say? Your quality is wonderful (where you finished) as usual. I like the dialogue and pacing you used in the beginning of the fight, and I'm glad to see you start working some ongoing plots. Do your best against Yosai next round, I don't think you'll be able to get away with anything less against her.
I can't help but give Seel all A's. The quality is amazing, the creativity on it is amazing (I would of just had a lame ass battle with her), and the comics are always energetic and enetertaining. Makes me cringe in shame at how far I am from reaching that sort of drawing level ;.;
Dingo- (*A* Those first few pages?!?!!? AM-AZINGH.
Yes, I would die to see that level of finished-ness throughout a whole comic. I really enjoyed the character development, but Veronica's entrance felt a little.. just thrown in? Like an afterthought. Ending was funny though, haha!
Both of you, I know you can do better! Do eet!!
I'm going to keep my comments short and sweet.
Kura- SHAME ON YOU! XD You didn't finish, and now I'll never know why Seel was in a semi-Daku mecha suit thing! Lemme tell ya, I was severely bummed when I realized I couldn't click past page four..
Seel- FANTASTIC improvement over your last fight. Whereas the last one was lacking in story(and thus I really thought Ayumi should have won, no offense), this one was full of it, and I loved it. It was a good fight, and although it seemed a little shortened at the end, it worked in other storylines and was just all-around great. This is the sort of fight I want to see more often.
I'm not throwing rocks at anyone, excuse me. I stated my opinion. If Phil says he doesnt care- then hey- who gives two shits, right? Point is, I told you how I see it and its my crit- no way around it.
i know you've heard it enough, kura... but really dude, you really could have done better. next time you think your going to out right lose, remember: comics are about the reader. next time you go in with loaded dice against you, go out with a bang.
dingo... better job then kura, which was expected... but yeah, you read it already from every one else.
the one thing that doesn't sit well with me about these two fights is that so little was seen of the opponent. you both build up neat stories... but this is also about kicking the crap outta the other guy...
well, good luck in the next round.
till next...
Kura, I liked the art alot, but the story was very confusing. It took me a few reads and a whole lot of thinking to figure it out. Also, I think so much filled in black and thick lines seems a little too much. But atleast you're trying :>
Seel, I can see you're trying to add more storyline rather than just lots of cool fighting which is great :> There is obvious laziness, but I really believe you can pick yourself up for a really nice comic in your next match. BTW, I loved Kreepy's tauntings and the how run down you made the apartment building look. Quite awesome :]
now now lune, let's not throw rocks from glass houses.
i had spoken with phill before drawing the pages with his character in it. he said his character had just come out of the hospital and to not make him so muscular. and when i showed him the pages i had drawn he said it looked fine how it was.
rabbitrabbit, yeah it was hard to come up with more \"interaction\" between seel and veronica. kura has recently made veronica a non-fighting fighter, which naturally conflicts with the comics i draw (and the basis of this site) because i want some fucking ASS KICKING. i tried to include her based on the character's role as best i could.
again i want to appologize for the last few pages (8, 9, 10). sorry they were confusing, sorry they were crappy, sorry i couldn't finish XB i'm still trying to work more on developing my stories and human facial anatomy, so hopefully the next fight will be better than this. since i have returned, i've been trying to make each fight better than my last one in some way, shape, or form.
thanks for the comments and critiques everyone, they are always appreciated :3
I agree with Zombi, He looks well.. like a typical anthro male would. I thought it was a female at first. You could've made him a bit more buff. Your story could have been a lot better, I didn't know what was going on towards the end with Veronica, I would've liked to see you put her into the story more then what you have. Again though, work on your humans, Hun. I enjoyed the panels with her shadow mocking her in the background.
Kura, Unh. I dunno what to say to you. Since you didn't try- I won't even try to comment.
Good luck next round, Dingo- you'll need better then this to wipe either of the upcoming oppenent. (A suggestion, not rudeness of course)
I was pretty dissapointed with both battles, kura i liked how your court room drama was going but like most people said this addition didnt make much sense
Seel when i read your first page i thought, jesus this is gunna be special, the whole no sound thing seel getting dragged off, in my eyes that been the best comic page ive ever seen from you.The following pages where she talks to phil were well drawn and well panelled and i enjoyed them immensely.Then all of a sudden it all fell apart when she left the buildiing.This beautiful build up that you did for 4 pages kinda lead to nothing :(
Wow, you both continue to improve. But both of these comics seem to cut off at the EXACT MOMENT they begin to gain momentum!
KuraX: I really liked where you were starting to go with the comic, can't go wrong with ominous figures in cowls who wield familiar weapons and then are suddenly revealed to be (omg, gasp) THAT person!! Cliche, I guess, but still fun. Also, your inking is really good when you go for broke. You don't need to hear for a thirtieth time where your entry failed me, though. :P
Dingo: I've never exactly been able to put my finger on the relationship between Seel and Kreepy until seeing this here bit of work, and it turns out to be a really compelling relationship! For the first time ever, I'm seeing two characters where before I always saw one character with a somewhat intriguing quality. I like the former direction better, and I think you could do a lot with that. However, I think I would've liked to see a bit more Seel/Veronica interaction. While I'm given enough information to KNOW what Veronica's role in the story is, I still FEEL like she's somewhat inconsequential to the whole exchange.
In summary: I like what you both do when you've got the energy to do it. :D
Yay for my first ever scathing critique on VOID.
Cool the comics are out n its not a default like last time GREAT
Kura X-Its great that you were able to finish but 2 whole weeks should be good for a nice comic.Try harder next time
Seel-Great comic the starting to page 7 was great the backgrounds storyline n of cuz Kreepy but the last few pages u did not put ur usual effort,kinda hard to c the pencil parts good comic though
Due to my severe inability to critique, I'm going to rummage around in my magic bag and sprinkle kudos everywhere. By reading this, you have been showered with an obnoxious kudo dust, gaining 2 self-esteem points at the cost of a horrific sneezing fit. Aaanyway...
Fantastic job Seel, I don't comment much but your comics are always a real treat to read. I like how Kreepy is gettin' a bit into a more malicious presence in this tournament.
As for Kura... I'm normally a fan of your work, especially with Satin, but this time I was sorta confused. Really diggin' the third panel though. Pen work turned out great.
Seel can draw me however she likes zombi, not everybody wants him to be sexually harrasing a clown or appologizing like a fucking ninny like how you invision him, fuckhole!
Kura: Geeze dude... Didn't you even try? We know you're good dude, but honestly... who cares if you lost to her before, you had a whole 2 weeks to do something! What was going through your head anyway? You had the perfect opportunity to give seel a run for her money for a change! But, I'm honestly not surprized dude, you gave up way too easily on this fight.
Seel: I know you are hating comics right now, and despite it being half finished I think you did a surperb job on this fight. I hope your next round is a lot better cause I know you've got big plans for it. I unlike the shithead above, love how you draw my fighter, it's nice to get something like that from a friend. Anywho, while artwise this isn't your best, storywise you had it in the bag, I liked the way you portrayed seel's and kreepy's personality in this fight, and the backgrounds on page 4 and 5 are teh SEX!
Pretty good fight Seel, but I know you'll do better next round.
Kura, I know you didn't want this match... but this looks like you weren't even trying. You don't need my feedback to do better than this: you consistently DO do better than this. I'm disappointed.
Dingo, I liked the finished parts of your fight. You did a FANTASTIC job of making the apartment look filthy and run-down. I could stare at that panel where Seel's stepping outside for HOURS. I was also impressed by your rendition of the Robo-Dakus. Your ending lacked punch, though, and not just because it was unfinished. The story kind of trailed off without making unified sense: where did the Tournament come in? Why did Seel attack Veronica? You didn't really wrap anything up at the end, which leads me to belive that you had to stop short because of time constraints and just made up the earliest ending you could. Maybe plan your battles according to your schedule more in the future? Don't bite off more than you can chew.
YAY! I've waited for this fight for so long!
Seel: Ahhhh you never disappoint me! I love how you make it easy for the audiance to relate to how your character is feeling and your use of use of grey tones to fix a mood. However the pencil panels were a little hard to understand.
Kura: I never get you, your stories frustrate me. I never understand them and they always seem unfinished. Even if you're going for a story to fix all your fights together, it's still annoying. However, when you wanna, your line work is great. Just don't be so sloppy with your inking.
They were both good battles, the stories drew me in, even if a few parts we rushed, it doesn't hurt these at all
KuraX: I think this battle was nicer the the last ones in the tournament, it's nice to see them break from the courtroom. Just wish it had a little more seel in it :)
Dingo: A very enjoyable read, the way your making the tournament drag on Seel's nerves is wonderful, I can really feel for her. It was also nice how you got her out of the arena for this one, and I dig the back grounds you had in the completed panels, very cool.
Nice work both of you
KURA LOSES!!!
seel barely managed to pull off the story! i was glad that it was complete.
that art is awesome as always. your action is getting alot better too. keep it up! love reading your stuff
my only real crit would be the way your draw phil: you made him look so cute and nice...
Diiingo, your comics are so joyous to read, I loved it, so much action and personality <3
Kura, its awesome your trying new things, nothing wrong with that, it was a cool lookin' comic~
Kura-Your's was kind of confusing, I really didn't know what was going on. I really enjoyed the 3rd page though, the ink work was great
Seel-The story was great this time around and the pages you did get to spiffy up all the way were amazing. Your unfinished pages still do look a lot better than some of the unfinished battles I've seen in the past, it was still clear and easy to see what was going on. After the tournament give yourself a break so you can get the creative drive back
i want to apologize again for the crap that ensues after page 7. but it's done, it's uploaded, and i'm never looking at it again.
*goes to sleep* _D_;;;
i'm going to apologize in advance....my last few pages were done in a rush. sorry guys but i'm kinda running out of steam. hopefully my half won't be as big a dissapointement as i'm expecting it to be @~@;;
well, i learned from my last fight that i gotta work on my stories more. luckily i have a decent idea for this fight, i just hope i can pull it off.
good luck kura, it's a pleasure to fight you again
dingo kicks the ass of the artness... but kura, remember, that is only one part to concider. remember there are other aspects that are just as important. story telling. you can do that pretty well when you want to. you have a chance kura! go for it!!!
