Hats: You really always come up with some new style or format and it really makes me want to see what you will come up with next! It is so great and refreshing and creative! The newspaper strip format really fit the story being told. Also I love the subplot with Jiko, the poor girl. AND Johnny totally had it coming! Anyway, really funny! I loved it!
Jay: I hope you get well soon :c
HATS- I'm really digging this newspaper episodic comic strip deal you got going for this tournament. You never cease to come at us with new styles, techniques and looks. Good on ya. I hop we get to see yet another iteration of Wizzie being her wacky self. Speaking of ol' Wizz though- I was surprised to find she was rather scarce in your comic. I know you have an overarching plot going on with the adventures of Wizzie AND Jiko, but this almost feels like more of a Jiko comic than your own character.
JETSTER- Noooooo! I wanted to see high school bromance adventures ;3; HOPES DASHED
Hats, short but sweet! I like the vibrant colours and the way you draw Johnny Patch! dont got much to say the others havent said, look forward to your work in r3!
jetty: aww =( i hope you feel better soon! i love your comics!
Hats, your style is as lovely and unique as ever! I love how much character you capture in the different ways you draw each character, and the emotion you capture in each facial expression or in body language. This is the perfect "short but sweet" slice-of-life comic, with a simple plot but a good punch and laughs throughout. I love the shot of Wizzie zonked out with her pierced nips sticking out, especially when Jiko's wearing a nightie and then puts on a robe over it. And then Wizzie doesn't even bother to put on clothes when she gets up to blast Johnny out the window. That kills me. Your coloring is top notch, your composition was great (I love how you make the music lyrics so big and in the way to reflect how obnoxious and loud the music was), and I really don't have anything to tell you to change! More comics, I guess? lol
Hats this was a super funny comic, absolutely loved it! My only big criticism is how crowded the song lyrics make the panels, I actually wasn't sure when or if I should read them, but I feel like I know why you made the choice to include them as you did, and inevitably it did add a lot to the humor. Also really great to see your comic finished this time around, really well done and excited to read your next!
Hats;
great humor, colors and art it would translate real nicely to a animated short. My only critic is that it a comic strips
format. I feel like everything is too cluttered this way. Maybe its just me. Congratulation on the win.
Jay: sad you couldn't make it. I really enjoyed your last fight. get well soon.
Hats: Off to round 3 you go! I've already seen alot of this in the WIP days so I knew what to expect, the colors are solid and the hatch-hair is much appreciated~ This is more opinion than critique: For purely presentational purposes, Instead of white boxes for the strips I would have gone with black or the same color as the background of the site, I think these would have helped them pop more with that music blasting through for four pages
Jay: Hope youre feeling better soon
Hey guys, I know Sabu posted a DIRTY LIE on the chat to cover for me (my work is actually dead quiet and the boredom has not been helping things) but the truth is I actually got hit with debilitating depression shortly after this match started (for unrelated reasons). I know a lot of people on here suffer it and I don't think it's something we should be ashamed to talk about. In any case I forced myself to do thumbnails the other week and ended up making myself physically ill. After a full on meltdown a few days later it was a good signal to stop putting the extra pressure of this comic on myself, take a break and take care of myself.
I'm doing better now and would like to try and do something over this weekend just to have something to show, but recovery's always a fun unreliable process (just like with a physical illness, like getting hit with gastro and because your immune system's down you're vulnerable to flu) so that's why my entry is not gonna be great or present.
Best of luck to Hats :)
