Hey sorry for the late comment but i absolutely loved these comics!! They're so cute and wholesome, and i'm glad Iza finally found a place where she feels welcome and can pursue her passions. The ending was truly heartwarming Jcee, and thanks for the cameo btw!

Great comics from both of you! Happy to see Izanami getting a new home at the misty oasis. Snowy: love your textures, artline and style. Looks super good and Dairyu expression on page 2 is perfect. Jcee: I enjoyed a lot the little story you shared, loved Izanami formality slapping her face into the ground on page 5 hahaha. Thanks a lot for the cameo too!

Snowy- I love the crisp lines and the big chunky brush you use for the sandstorm effect. You drew Izanami and the bunny so cute! I like the cool monsters and how Dairyu is just doing her job monster-huntin and cleaning up to keep everyone safe. Jcee- Always impressed with the level of rendering you get and the pacing in your pages. Dairyu looks so cool when she first appears on page four. It's good to see some things go well for Izanami for a change-- it's impressive that you can give a character a whole new direction in just one comic without making it feel forced.

Jcee- This is a perfect example of how to portray a conversation in an engaging way that isn't just talking heads, I think what it comes down to is interesting visuals and a decent amount of variation in the "camera" angle along with perfect placed speech bubbles. I also quite enjoyed seeing someone treat Dairyu with some reverence! That was neat. Snowy- Fantastic chemistry between these two characters- and your lovely flowy art is always a treat. Both of me made me feel excited to see more from this match-up! These were two wonderful comics, great job!

SNOWY As always, you deliver such crisp linework and the fills compliment it perfectly. Seriously, I need to get that cross hatching brush you're using - it's fantastic! And WOWIE! That last panel on page 3 - Dairyu's pose is just so cool, it really pops! You've managed to build up tension from the beginning super effectively; I was hooked right from the first panel. Can't wait to see what future interactions you have in store for these two characters! Keep up the fantastic work!! JCEE Everything from the textures to the backgrounds is popping off here, dude. Dairyu, especially, looks absolutely fantastic in your style. That final page was my absolute favorite!!The way Dairyu gives Izanami that final nudge of encouragement to step onto the stage is so heartwarming and impactful. Seriously, I'm head over heels for it. Love love love <3

These were beautiful! It was realyl cool to see two inking powerhouses battling it out SNOWY- Everything looked really clean and crisp. Everything was nice and fluid; the action scenes were really engaging and the dialogue was pretty sweet. I'd love to see more interactions between Dairyu and Iza in the future! They have pretty nice chemistry JCEE- The inks and backgrounds are crazy good! I love the way you made the vibe of each place very palpable on each page. It's really interesting to see Iza's struggles and insecurities. Her inner monologue is really great! It's really sweet to see them having chemistry on your side too. That ending with all those chameous was absolutely lovely

Snowy: It's a shame about your struggles but on the other hand you also managed to tell a lot of story within 4 pages without compromising any of the quality, which is something I'm still struggling with when a long deadline comic needs to be crushed down to a smaller page count, I think that's an important skill. I also forgot to mention this on your previous black and white comics but I love how you depict the sky and clouds as of late, it's very pleasing to my eyes. JCee: It's cool how you portrayed the meeting between Iza and Dairy and their subsequent bond, the cameos were cute too. I enjoy when you show off your characters fashion and my small selfish wish got granted here. I also extend my condolences to your comic making struggles but overall you both made good comics and I'm looking forward to more of Izas and Dairyus interactions.

Submitted. Had a rough couple of weeks on my end, but I did what I could. It's been a long time coming for Iza, and hopefully this will turn her into a new direction.
