Yeah I tried a new overlay with the lineart, so I think that made it looks kinda bad. Thanks for the feedback!

orion: Good effort for a single week, it's mostly done and legible at the least. Hope to see a better result next time~ kent: your narratives are always dialogue-driven and that classic kent freshness is evident here as well. The story is interesting and makes us want more. I would say the lineart here is not as refined as in your other stories, as many times it looks like a bad scan. Good job nonetheless~ And Arena looks very cute in your ink :) thank you for adding her.

Orion, I understand what happened. False starts and multiple ideas can really ruin a comic. My suggestion though is to do your best to stick with an idea, even if you think of something better. Or try and incorporate ideas into the already existing concept you have. Waffling can really cripple you. Kent, FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF No seriously, fifteen pages in a week man? You and Six blow me away with that. I really love your story and flow with this. Your expressions are really tight I'm digging the minimalist approach you tackled with color. The only things I could suggest are a bit more line consistency. You go back and forth between giving foreground characters bold outlines or thin outlines, as well as with your background characters. I think if you just settles on either everybody gets a bold outline or background characters get thin and foreground bold, or something, everything would come together a lot better. But really besides that, your style really entertaining to me and I love it.

Both your comics were fun to read. Though I wish I could see more with Orion's, I'm curious as to what Special Friend was doing there. And it was a nice surprise to see Swan in there.

Kent, DUDE. This is an awesome idea. You just solved a huge plot hole in Zedan's storyline because of this new location in VOID.

ergh... Uploaded in its entirety. I wish I had more to show with this one but, knowing me, I went through 3 ideas before I settled on this and even then I had taken up half my week trying to figure it out. (Need to find a quicker way from A to B in that regard.) And so this looks quite rubbish. Still, I am more satisfied with this comic idea then the other options I had brought up. Feels like a step backwards as far as quality but I had much fun experimenting with new materials and techniques, and I hope to show them off in the future in order to create even better comics. For now I end my summer of comics with this and the prospect ,at least in my mind, of greater things to come. Thank you for the opportunity Mister Kent. I look forward to fighting you again someday soon.
