TRM Wow, TRM, great work with this one. Your colors, lighting, panel layouts - they've come a long way and it shows. Your character, Gorgle, is an absolute riot with his over-the-top aggression and a good handful of self-importance. It made the strong personalities of both him and Drawura just so fun to see fight against eachother. He's a blast to watch, and I'm already itching to see more of him. ROCKMAN I LOVE LOVE LOVE Drawura!! She's just great and full of personality, I'd love to see more of her in the future. Her interactions with Gorgle were just great. Loved to see Gorgle's loose, floating hands and face used against him with Drawura's weapons. I've mentioned it above but these two were made to duke it out lol. And let's talk about that ending!! Super cute and a great choice of scars hahaha, love how his look was "drawn" on by her and ended up backfiring (Paint as sustenance sounds pretty great though). Keep up the good work!

TRM: With each new comic I keep seeing the quality of your craft improve more and more. Keep at it and you'll be one of the great ones in no time! I dig that the scars were not as conventional and quite unpredictable, specially the one for Drawura. However, I feel the process of how it happens could've done with a little more setting up as how the fungus ends up in Grogle's hand and then in Drawuras mouth is a little confusing on a first read. Regardless, good job on turning in a complete comic on a rather short timeline! Rockman: By far your best skill is how you can make characters abilities shine in such a short set of scenes. Without much effort you managed to show the wide range of skills Drawura holds, even when using it casually, so it definitely leaves the reader wanting to see more. It's unfortunate that life got in the way and you couldn't dedicated as much time as you would've liked to the round though. There's not much advice I can give on that matter, especially since I know this was the exception and not the rule. Still, what's there is pretty solid! Hope we see more of her in the future.

TRM- The level of rendering and the interactions between the characters was really nicely done! I really like the jabs the threw to one another, great job! ROCKMAN - I love the way you portrayed Drawura's abilities! Unfinished or not, the actions were very clear and easy to follow! The scars are really clever and the inks were pretty good, specially in the last two pages Sorry for being late for voting!

TRM: You've really improved, I think this is your best battle yet! Interesting scars you chose, congratulations on the win! Rockman: Even though this was unfinished, I really enjoyed your battle. Your comics are always fun to read, the expressions are so fun! Nice work to both of you!

Both comics are very fun to read! Trm: Great colour use and styling. I hope you keep experimenting with it and try out a variety of shadows and highlights to help bring your art to life even further. Rockman: I have to second that your sketches still look very lively and full of energy. Simple but dynamic just the same!

Trm: the scars here are interesting and the artwork is just as vibrant as the characters being depicted. My main issue is a writing one, in that, your comic is 6 pages long, and Gorgle calls Drawura a bitch in 4 of them. Is thar a crime? No, but it gets repetitive fast, especially when the final line of the comic is reiterating that he thinks she's a bitch, which has already been well established. There's a wide range of vocabulary that can he used for gorgle to convey his disdain. Rockman: discounting the unfinished lages, what was finished was clean and clear and very good looking. The monster transformations here are simple but work very well. Before the matches were posted I wasn't even sure what kind of scar to inflict on something like Gorgle. I do enjoy Drawura getting hoisted by her own petard as well

TRM- I love your wild colours but the camera was probably a tad too close for most of the story and it made some scenes hard to make out. Really creative scars! Rockman: Theres a lot of life even in your sketches! This was really dynamic and fun to look at!

Turtle!! Damn dude! You’ve grown so much from your first comic, I remember we were in VC as I watched you draw it. You’ve come such a long way. I’m so proud of you!!!

TRM- This is a huge step up! Really love the colors and experiments with highlights, helps the pages pop more. Rockman- bummer it couldn't be completed, but I've really been enjoying the cartoonier style you've been experimenting with on your latest comics

TRM: That was a funky twist on monster mutations you did! Pretty gross and oozy too! Rockman: Man, I'm bummed that you didn't get the whole comic finished because all the polished stuff looks lovely. Also the DK reference was genuinely charming to me.
