Fans of both you guys. I can't really decide who to vote for because both were really quite great. Greg, your side wasn't as cleaned up or as refined as Dave's but I did fine the story a bit more creative. So I think that might be the split. Good work you two.
Both comics were seriously entertaining and creative, but as far as quality goes I'd give it to Drastic because not only does he have good tonal values in his shading, but there's much more detail and much more for the eye to take in. The scenes are great composition wise and much more energy in the action. HeyZoo's faults are that the lines aren't as clean or as varied as they could be and the near lack of shading does make it seem flat. These were both lots of fun though and I'd like to see more comics from both.
Whoa almost missed this one. Gotta go read the past comics by Pico and Vivian now!
Great job both of you! My vote leaned more towards HeyZoos since I liked his jokes better. Though I think you both are on par when it comes to art quality and creativity so it was hard to vote in that area. xD
Alrighty, I really don't have THAT much more to add to my previous comment but now that I got some time...
You guys both did great and I almost feel as though the two stories are quite similar in the start but with creative twists at the end haha. I think you guys both nailed eachothers characters perfectly, so there were no issues there. Another thing is that you guys share some very similar stylistic traits here and there which was kind of cool too.
Drastic, I loved the amount of detail in this. There were some nice BGs and you drew Pico pretty awesomely too. I don't know if I'd consider this comic though the strongest one I've seen from you, at times the way you were drawing the characters was a bit inconsistent. I noticed it mainly with Vivian's hips for example, they'd vary in size etc and sometimes her legs would be huge and other times they wouldn't be. Maybe its just me but that might be something to look into! Thats just about it for my nitpicks though, I really enjoyed it quite a bit.
Heyzoos, man, I love your comics. I just wish there was maybe more shading or line widths or something because without any of that it does come across a bit flat art wise. I do like the way how your characters have this very dynamic sort of movement to them and the use (or would it be misuse) of Vivian's power and the whole shuffle thing was pretty funny. I think though art wise this could have used some more refinement though :P
Both of you did great, I enjoyed both comics :D
OMG OMG OMG. I loved this! On both sides!
Vivian grew horns... and you know how I feel about horns. I never actually read her bio until this comic and I must say. Vivian adhering to whatever is playing on her MP3 player? Clever!
I actually LOLd at Pico yelling "I'm impervious to any kind of intelligence!" That was brilliant!
Voting was difficult for me because I really enjoy both styles and storytelling...
I've got to get into a battle now...
All I can say right now is you two rock so fucking much...and I'll do a more in depth critique or whatever tomorrow since I could really use some sleep right about now.
Oh wow, this was an awesome match. Drastic, your art's looking nice and clean, with just the right amount of detail. Heyzoos, I'm glad to see ya back on Void, and for a basic battle this was fun to read. I can't wait for the next comic from you two, keep it up!

Tox- I see you're line art is getting cleaner. I have to ask if you use templates, french curves or flexible curves though because I think you should try to experiment with those when dealing with round objects like pico's head. Otherwise this is really great, artistically. certain images like when pico falls back into a building should have been drawn to read left to right to go with the flow. And I feel like you should use rulers for your buildings or at least practice them cause I know that once you try to use straight edges on buildings they might come off dull.
Heyzoos- Good job making a basic battle. I enjoyed the story. I feel like you could improve a few things like vivian putting on her headphones but those are pretty nitpicking thing I'm pointing out. Just like tox, I feel like you could benefit from using french curves for directional curvy speed lines and you should practice adding mre details on your bgs. One last thing is that I advice you to use thicker borders for your panels.
oh my god Dave you got pico's personality down PERFECTLY. This is exactly the sort of shit he'd do, haha. Fucking FANTASTIC job on the detailing and the fighting and just...everything about your story was absolutely entertaining and basically you're fucking amazing
I kinda wanna make this song the theme of this comic just because of the name, but its a little to mellow for the mood this battle, haha:
