Fed, your style's much more strip oriented & felt much more like a decompressed version of one. It worked well here, especially given the deadlines, but I could've done with more story happening. The end came more like a punchline than a resolution. And maybe slow down on your shading hatches, keeping them in one direction. In the fourth thumbnail, you can even see the pen bouncing back, making the lines more of a checkmark rather than a line. Lines are cleaner.
Cola: NOOOOO! Don't let this be the last we've seen of Catsuit. That would be a crime.
Fed: Damn this is such tightly wound and well orchestrated comic. You pack a lot into so few pages and all your jokes land with a punch. I love your premise and the narrative, clearly intelligent writing I just wish your presentation was clean and clear to match it- your cartoony style is great but those half assed borders and misaligned layouts hurt the vibe some. You could up your game by striving for refinement and maybe using less hatching and going tonal. Still solid comic all around.
Evil Eye:
Had a particularly strained laugh at the ending there.
Told you the jokes were cheap
Anyways, thanks for all the nice feedback guys. Glad you liked it :) I'm not sure what I should improve on from here - any tips?
ShouldaCouldaCola: Shame you didn't find the time to get it done :\ These 1 week deadlines can really be killer when real life interferes. I have to say Cat Suit was really a challenging character to wrap my head around, least of all draw with him standing on his hands all the time and communicating via his butt. Hope to see more from him (and you) in the future :)
Fed-really fun comic start to finish, the ending was very memorable. In some scenes the lines felt like they got a little thin and harder to read, perhaps it's just because I'm on a larger monitor but on page 2 a few things were getting lost. A quick fix would be to duplicate the layer in Photoshop and set it to multiply to make your lines just slightly darker.
Ffffff.. Fed! This was awesome. Some of your catsuit drawings are just outta-this-world hilarious. I think the line quality is much tighter than your last battle, too, but whether that's an actual drawing-improvement or just better digital compression, I can't say. Either way, I loved this comic, and I'll be glad to be seeing more from you!
shouldacouldacola... I'm not gonna lie, I am really intimidated by catsuit. This default comes as something of a relief, to myself and other competitors, I'm sure. I hope you'll stick around for more non-tourney battles, though! Butt jokes. They work.
Haha, alright, that was pretty funny. For something you apparently slapped together in a jam, it gets the job done plenty. Had a particularly strained laugh at the ending there. Good stuff.
nooooooooooooooo catsuit :(
Not that Fed and Ted and chopped liver or nothin', I just haven't read yet. And I really, really, really wanted to see two renditions of this great matchup. Le sigh.
Auch, just the one opponent I was hoping to avoid.. I can see my ass getting kicked in this one. Still, can't wait to see your take on Ted!
Best of luck (not that I think you need any ;)!
