Speed Resurrection Tournament 2018, Finals

Julz and Minteh! You guys were wonderful through this entire tourney, and I'm so happy to have fought against you both! I tried my best to portray you're characters as close as I could, and I'm so happy to see you both did the same, throwing in your sensed of humor too, which made me smile and laugh out loud. Thank you so much everyone who voted and critiqued, because I try to take these to heart so I can improve with every comic.

Great job for all of you! There's not much else to say, since everybody else's comments have made really good points. Something that I want to add though is this: I really love that each of your elimination methods were not just unique, but also fit very well with each of your protagonist characters.

Minteh: Really solid inks. Black and white balance balance is really good, though on some pages it can look a little flat white. It's a nice opener, too. I feel like, with just a little tweaking and some extra scenes, this could work well as a standalone story. Julz: And then they summoned Shenlong. There were some really good moments in here, but I feel like the very even page layout and panel sizes took away from that, even when the panels were more dynamic. These kinds of over the top gags need over the top presentation, like that big final colored panel. Golden: Nice use of limited grey palette, and dark melding into dark works for nightmare creatures coming out of the dark, but not so well for characters we need to look at while they talk. Even if they're supposed to look dark and vague, some highlights or color holds on the lines would really help. Really fantastic entrances and set pieces.

All of you have done amazing jobs with your comics and this finale is an amazing one that is hard to vote on because of how good they all are. it's also really cool how all the characters had changes when coming back to life. Mints: Your inks are amazing in this and look pretty complete. though the fight with doctor princess and sukri was paneled a bit weird. It was hard to tell what was going on because of how small the panels initiating the action were. Besides that this one had the ending that gave me the most feels, not too sure why but the departure between Dyna and Tammy doing that at the end really worked. Julz: That was so random and so weird yet so funny. Somehow you managed to make all the gags work way more than I would expect them to, maybe it was the continued absurdity of the situation. I guess the problem is that while it's funny because of it's absurdity i couldn't get as invested in it as the other two comics but not sure if that's really a crit. also the horse cameo on the first page was great and I only caught that on my second reading. Golden: this is amazing and really the one thing I wanna talk about if your foreshadowing. You foreshadowed the fact Aleyjah is a goddess amazingly from as soon as your second battle. That is the best foreshadowing story wise I have seen on void so far and your planning for this battle series has been amazing. It worked so well cause you told just enough that is obvious in retrospect but when being told isn't as obvious and some people will not see it. Amazing job with this entire tourney.

minteh: mmm mmm those are some nice black waters there~ this is a pretty solid comic all in all but there are some serious paneling and composition problems happening with pages 4-5, I don't know why or if by accident or something that you decided to have Doctor Princess' attack in such a tiny panel, in fact, all the action that is meant to be tense here is relegated to far away shots that are hard to decipher. It threw me out of the story hard :( Julz: maaan this woulda looked great in color I bet, I enjoyed some of the gags more than I probably should have. Golden: Great continuation of themes and narrative throughout all your rounds, though as much as I like the story and lore and art, I think having such dark great with your lines was a mistake; you shoulda painted over those lines with white so all those black masses woulda really popped! I had to squint to see alot of the parts that involved the darkened humanoids Congratulations all three of you for making it this far and delivering cool comics~

I have no idea how to rank these. Its gonna take a lot of contemplation.

Damn you guys. Awesome job wow. I love all of these <333

Julz you had me in stitches pretty much every page, I love what you did even if you couldn't finish everything up <3 Golden I already said it but, are you even human?? It's not just the page count, but you kept it consistent across all twenty pages which is super impressive. I'm so happy to have been a part of this battle with the two of you, thank you!!!

Oh wow. Just. Wow.
