Hobbitsky! I really liked your comic, it is supercute :D I loved the ending, it's like lack of kiss didn't bother me at all i think the whole situ was pretty hilarious anyway.
Rolf - omg. tihs comic is amazing even if unfinished, i guess you have a pretty valid excuse. idk i didn;t feel like anything was missing there except maybe cosmetic things like COLOR or SPEECH BUBS. but whatever.
HOBBITTASTIC- Dude, DUDE. I am fully aware you were in the middle of a move when this round went down AND you only had a week to draw this, so 9 pages is like, wow. I swear, folks up in this tournament are leaving ZERO excuses for voiders when it comes to turning in minimal work in the face of busy-ness! Really great hussle!
Pixel Princess is so wonderfully derpy. From her expressions and thirst on page one and beyond. I'd have to say that I know you were pressed for time, but I can't help but remark on that 'photoshop slapdash'. You've got some great panels interspersed where where you obviously took more care and attention, but overall, you got this swishy looseness with your digital inks that would definitely benefit from a more technical hand.Also are you working with a font, or just writing out your dialogue? I'll admit it was legible AND fit with your art, but again, I feel it suffered a looseness that I think took away from your side.
But nitpicks aside, maaan you brought the funny. Some of the things you had Fabulous saying in the ballroom had me rolling. Not to mention Pixel's face when she says 'hellothere, fellow princesses!' had me dying. I keep expecting pixel to be this gentle, snooty soul, but she's so much fun to watch as she brings on the wacky. Not to mention she can really rock a tuxedo. Does this mean they're dead-married? Until life do they part? :DD
ROFLQU- Another RIDICULOUS display of effort and dedication here, man. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that 12 pages of fully complete polished and animated comic is something relatively do-able for you for this tournament. You're an animal, dude! Also, can we talk about Pixel Princess? I am so so glad she is pixelized in your comic. Not just video-game-ized (and colored with pixelated shadow besides. Nice touch!), but done in a way that coincides with your style, which is no mean feat. It's obvious you had lotsa fun drawing her and her swinging sword. I gotta say using that glitch generator you shared with me definitely came in handy in this comic. Especially on page two with the wanted posters. This whole evil ape man business has me itching to dust off the ol' Nintendo and play old school Donkey Kong. I know I've said pretty much all of what I'm typing to oyu already on skype whenever you showed me WIPs, but I wanna post it here for posterity, dag nabbit!
I keep going back to the last round and then this round feeling I've missed a big chunk of story. We end with some terrifying Lovecraftian penis horror and then to this...tense moment in a restaurant. Why is Morty upset? How did they escape that monsters clutches? How did Pixel make it outside to discover that car bomb? I need a thing explained and the more I turned the pages, the more I realized I wont get it this round. I dunno, I liked the moments you had, but in terms of story, I feel a bit off kilter trying to piece it all together this time around.
I know I'm guilty of it (Nyasuu Vs Wizzie Belles), but I'm really sick of makeover/ shopping comics. That said, Hobbitastic, I thought the perspective was really wonky page 2 first panel with PP leaning against the door. And her hand is freakin me out too. Weird 90 degree angle I thought. It doesn't look very forshortened. I love the frills (pg 4) on the dresses though, lots of work went into those it looks like you might have used a tool for it they look so nice!! I know there is a frill tool in Manga studio but it looks natural. Page 5 last panel i can see she is on her tippy toes but it still kinda gives the illusion she might be lifted up by her skirt? I think her feet coulda used more weight. And no kiss at the end kinda killed the wedding for me.
Rofl FFs man. Good shit- always delivering. Story was harsh man. Harshh!! I love your take on Pixel princess- I woulda done something similar. Page 2 had so many funny details I had to stare at it for a bit to catch all the fun. Like the cat bleeding from its face. Classy. And fuck I knew morty was beefy from the build but DAMN when the button up comes off holy hell I wanna fuck it. I'm confident that I'm not the only one. Off and on with the color but I almost didnt notice. The writing flows well and I'm super into the conflict between the characters. Page 5 has some weird characters I don't recognize. They a callback to something? Love how when the mood turned sour so did the colors. All dark and whatnot, good mooding. Lovely comic start to finish minus the missing page but really whatever. Who needs it??
Sucks you had technical difficulties, ROFLQU, I'm gonna guess that's why it felt like a page was missing? I was confused how it jumped from Morty punching Pixel Princess in the face to her suddenly dying spectacularly in an explosion outside. But if an action scene is all that had to get cut for the real meat of Doc Fab and Morty's falling out to make it in, I can live with that. I care about these guys way more than I ever expected to. You just write them both so well.
Hobbitastic, this was fun, but after getting so invested in Fabulous and Morty as people, it's hard to see them as gay cardboard cut outs. In any normal battle, this humorous depiction would be fine, but this is SRT, and the stakes have been raised.
Sooo, this round is going to not be fully-colored on account of my Mac's plug has started smoking/caught a minor fire.
So, it'll be kind of inconsistent? I'll do my best regardless of the circumstances, but a lot of the colors will be uneven or just plain black and whites/missing pages. As I type this, we have 12 up, so I will do my very best!
EDIT: Just so my problem doesn't influence anyone's vote or anything, I promise that this is only a right-now problem. I would get a charger before the final round.
EDITEDIT: I think 12 is all we can get this week unfortunately. I want to put more up badly but even rushing on my remaining battery life, I couldn't upload everything. I'm real sorry and will try to fix this as soon as I possibly can.
Hey everyone!!
This comic isn't as complete as the others mostly because we spent this last week moving (I actually don't have internet yet). I might want to add a few more pages as a bonus soon to finish this plot line off.
Rolfq, I can't wait to read yours!! Thanks for all the support- cheers!
