Yo Owlgem, amazing first battle seriously! Loved the color work. Nova was a formidable opponent in this one.
I def wouldn't have taken him in my first match, but you handled it and it was tooth an nail (as you can see)

Fowlie: This is the first story in a while that I've read where I felt like this is the character you've been trying to portray. I initially interpreted him as a merry asshole. It worked but it seems as of recent you've been trying to make him more sympathetic, either by having him protect/live with little girls or having him have confused feelings about his sexuality. It wasn't really doing much for me, as I enjoyed not liking him.
This story brings him back to his roots. He leaves Dr. Fab (I'm assuming that's what the first page was), abuses coffee drinking privileges, allows his friend to be an ass and beats up a restaurant owner. Thus being a dick again. The ultimate topper is that he at the same time is a pussy, giving into peer pressure for rape because... ya know, he doesn't want to be a faggot. Making him a dick and pussy.

Art wise, I feel that digital coloring is probably better for you at the moment. Mostly because from my memory, both your inks and markers tend to become too busy. Atleast when doing flats, you don't go crazy with the scribbles. However you do still need to work on keeping your backgrounds separate from your characters. Nova especially gets lost easily against dark colors. My best advice is to be sure you're not using the same exact colors for both background and foreground, even when going with a simple palette.

OwlGem: The fight was a little generic in terms of plot. It's the typical 'Set up, bump into, my opponents the asshole, I win and joke at the end'. Not the say it was awful. Just typical of first time void fighters. I hope you play up the relationship dynamic more, as I enjoy married couple characters. And don't let them fall into the 'nagging wife, dumb husband' routine. You haven't done it but that's always what ends up happening.

The battle visually works well, though the had written text seems to take away from it. Your style seems to call for something a little more formal, or at least neater. Also I dunno what the program is (OpenCanvas?) but whatever your using is giving your art a grainy/ pixelated look to it. It may be what your going for but I don't understand why.  It could be my computer but I haven't had the same issues when looking at other artists who use high contrast highlights.

Mm, slowly bringing up the rear...  Everything has been said, praise and areas of improvement alike.

Which means that I get to POINT OUT MY FAVORITE PARTS, YAAAAAAAAY!

Fowlie:  Nova's expression; page four last panel (Grab that bitch!).  Hot.  No wonder why that's the page's thumbnail.  Mm.
Top half of page seven; the back-and-forth flashback to present panels exchange is something that I EAT UP (reverting back to the blue hues for the flashback parts in Nova's head--good call).
Bottom half of page seven; the fact that Nova's head is being pulled down (Same old Nova!).  Adds to the whole coercion aspect of this incident.  Nice touch.
I am also fond of your cityscapes as-is, particularly on the last page.  The snow....DOES something for me...  I can't put my finger on it.

OwlGemses:  Page one, panel two; "What the hell kind of book is this?!"  Cracked me the hell up.  Your ability to paint...er, draw, still objects is NOICE.  
The entirety of page five; I loved your pacing, and that punch to Nova's face was totally classic in execution, and epic.
Last page.  I laughed with everyone else.  I'm also a fan of your colors; I wasn't distracted by it at all.

Good show, the both of you.  I'm looking forward to what else you're bringin', Fowlie, you know I am.  And Gem--you're gonna be something great.

Nothing but love for you both.

you are evil, evil girls.

fowlie, you so ruthless. while owlgem went for more complicated colors, i was more partial to the muddier, grittier tones you used. it took me a bit to realize who the other character was & while there were subtle differences drawing three different lanky guy characters, i feel they should have been a little more different looking. that might be me being old & blind more than you though. otherwise good work.

owl, nice work with the colors. i just kind of preferred the hues used in fowlie's where yours was more neon-y. nice set up though making andrea a mean guy. more love given to the backgrounds would have been nice. i mean the the impressionistic colors worked in giving the idea of shapes & stuff, but it was a lot of andrea on the left, nova on the right; & swapping in wider views or adding more detail to the background would have helped vary it up a bit more. definitely a nice start though.

funny how rape is more offensive to some than the mutilation. why wasn't this a scar match? geez.

Holy SHIT. These are both very good. And they both reminded me of the danger of the battle and its associated canon. D:

Anyway..

fowlie: I haven't read Nova much further back than the Dr. Fabulous experience [and the OTHER Dr. Fabulous experience, when he was on his ship], but this seems like a natural thing for Nova to do regardless. But it also tells me alot about Nova I didn't know. Great job storytelling.

owlgem: Bla bla, no repeats. I will say I enjoyed it, and the colors really fit the rambunctious script. [And were very good...I love your rendering throughout.]

I'm sorry, but you both did a good job, and I'm not amazing at critiques. I will say that it was hard for me to pay attention to craft, which means they both drew me in...which is the POINT. Congrats all around.

Fowlie: i ADORED this. It was harsh and felt real. The fact that Nova doesn't say a single word in the whole comic gave a real strong impact on us ( or just me? ) on how Nova was feeling. His face and actions said enough and I just think it was perfect how you didn't put anything more to that. I can never imagine what more rising actions you can give to his story, but you always manage to do it. I love it~ As for the art, I love how all your figures look and the colors you chose really did set the mood for this. You could have done a bit more with the backgrounds when they were inside the cafe, though the outside city scenary was impressive. It was..."filling", like it didn't feel empty and that was ace. Your colors are really nice but I'm a sucker for your black and white works; i MISS them, girl XD haha But I'm glad you're experimenting with different things and not just focused on one place. Can't wait to see what happens next~!

Owl: Those colors are impressive! I see some people said that the colors got out of hand, but I kind of liked it like that. It gave the characters a sort of attitude and liveliness; sometimes neat isn't always necessary. Your action panels ran smoothly for me and I didn't have trouble telling what was going on, so that's a plus. Your expressions are so fun, i love them! XD Where you had backgrounds, you put as much detail into them as your did with the characters, which made it all mesh together nicely, or like as one. I have to agree with everyone that the bumping into each other and fighting thing was a little cliche and predictable. However, you completely turned that around and it actually SHOCKED me! hahaha I think the cliche part in the beginnig kind of threw us off and were were like "ok, i know what's gonna happen..." but I don't think any of us did know! That last part killed me and it was the perfect punchline. I'm so happy to see your first entry here and it was a great first impression!

It was really ironic to me how these two comics went along, like...the first was rape, and the second was castration. heehehe

I'm sorry Kirei-kuro, but let's be honest here, there was more to this comic than a rape scene. So I'd hardly classify it as solely a "rape comic".

What, you mean his bio, his intros (before void ate them) most of my battles, how other people write him in battles with me and in cameos and in ALL of the Battle Royale comics in no way led you to believe Nova was some sort of criminal???

Thats hardly my fault.

Fowlie, line art was pretty good, I enjoy the color scheme but I think a little more contrast could have helped, it kinda looked muddy. The rape seemed kinda forced and unnecessary, I don't really remember reading anything about Nova being a criminal.  A minimal use of perspective drawing would have been nice on some interior shots of the diner too.

Owl, good job of tying everything together, it did have the stereotypical, "hey nice meeting you-let's fight!" feel. THe colors got a little out of control at times, but I like the line drawing!

I'm going to just say this up front: Thank  you both. This was a WONDERFUL read. I saw it first at work and had to go 'eep' and read it VERY quickly before someone saw it. (Boobies and so on...) Getting home and reading over both again, I have to say... WONDERFUL job and I'm so happy to see these kinds of battles go up. Seriously, good job to BOTH of you.

Fowlie: Hoooooleeeeee CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP. This was GREAT. Storyline-wise I'm completely blown away with how you are slowly and surly changing Nova. It isn't too abrupt, it isn't confusing... it feels REAL. And that makes me incredibly happy. The Rape aspect of it is disturbing, but it's SUPPOSED to be. Playing off of Nova's obvious inner turmoil it is fantastic to see how his attitude has changed from his first battles and glee in rape to this, where he's obviously got his mind elsewhere and not as enthusiastic. It really is a great show of gradual growth and makes me want to see what you do next. I am very impressed with your storytelling so far. Thank you. I can't really add more to the art critique that others haven't already pointed out. You do such neat detailing, I wish you had larger panels to showcase it. And the cityscapes are a bit flat, so working on that would just polish your work all the more.

Owlgem: I am thrilled.. THRILLED with your first battle. Esp considering the time frame you say you worked in. A week. A complete entry, with a giggle-fit worthy ending, fully colored... in a week. And it's your first battle here. I know you've been doing comics elsewhere for awhile, but this really impressed me. I really hope you continue your work here in VOID, because I think it will only help you improve more. Your story is a bit odd at first, and I was confused with Nova's lack of fighting back... it didn't fit with his character in general, but I see why you didn't get to do it due to time. That he knew Nova was a demon just through the eyes isn't really a good way to judge that in VOID... now I'm afraid to let Koko near him since she has red eyes, too. XD But the gag at the end was great. The coloring was great, but the shading could have been a bit better, like said, and a little more depth to it would have made more things pop. But honestly, a great job.

In t he end, Fowlie takes it due to her sheer storytelling mastery on this one, but it was a fantastic read from both of you. THANK YOU. Thank you thank you thank you.

fowlie: I've been very impressed with your coloring lately, really nice stuff! I liked your story, and wowwww rape! You really did a wonderful job on this.

owl: your art was really nice, buuuuut the random-encounter-we-bumped-into-each-other-now-we-must-fight wasn't really creative... I've seen that done millions of times, sorry. There are parts that are obviously rushed, things not colored in all the way...  The end was cute and funny though :0

Fowlie - Oh snap, what an interesting progression from your previous match to this one! I truthfully need to go back and read all of Nova's previous adventures, but I did read his last one.  I really like how you took what seemed at the time like a silly gag with another silly character and in this round turned it into something so much more. The emotion you show your character going through without verbally announcing what's on their mind is very impressive. Peer pressure can be a bitch, it seems, but I suppose he feels a bit better after a bit of buggy tail?  Rape can be a very touchy subject, but I really love how you used it- it made sense and was in character and horrifically paced to pack the right punch. I also really loved your use of color- anything actually helpful crit-wise has been said already, so I'll leave this as an ass-patting comment. <3

Owlgem - Generally, I liked how this went, it was funny and entertaining and nicely colored, but as others have said, sometimes the relationships between characters and backgrounds seems a bit odd proportion-wise. I agree it'd be interesting to see you play with a lineart-less style sometime! I think you could have a lot of fun with that.  My only real beef is that it feels a bit like you broke down Nova's character into just a mugging thug, basically. I think the overall punch-line would have had more punch if you had shown Nova's demonic powers somewhere in the fight. Overall, though, I can't wait to see more of these bug-peeps in the future as well!

Fowlie - Dude I loved it >__< the rape was a bit disturbing but very effective (it wasn't rape just cuz, it was Nova trying to prove something to himself), and I think its great the way you've managed to incorporate the whole fabulous thing into Nova's story, instead of just making it a one time gag thing. Most people have praised you on the art and the story, so I'll keep it short. The one thing that irked me was the lack of perspective in some of tthe panels with the backgrounds. I mean, the background didn't have to be super detailed, but some overall perspective would've helped. Otherwise I really enjoyed this.

Owlgem - I honestly could not tell you had time problems with this. The quality was good, very cohesive and I just find the art in the battle to have a lot of personality, it looks kind of cartoony and deformed, but in a very effective way. This is one of very few battles where its hard to find something that's wrong with the comics ><, a really great job. Uhhhm... the one minor thing I came up with (and its totally nitpicking, but its the only thing that bugged me) is how Andrea would know Nova was a demon. But its truly a minor thing, so yeah :P

Hahahaha, Owl, that was fucking FUNNY.  I had like a 15 minute giggle fit after reading this, and then read it 5 more times. You should be proud that you managed to pull this out of your ass in the last week.  Fuck, you completely changed your story and tone and tossed out already completely pages.  I mean, a fully colored 7 page comic in less then a week? And one that was so funny!? Fuck, I wish I had those skills. If you learn to manage your time better, you’ll be a fucking page monster. I mean, if you had worked on this the whole 6 weeks of drawing time, you would have blown me out of the water.  

Keep it up.

Woo! Great comics from both sides in my opinion.

Owlgem: I think this was a really good first entry. I liked the colours you did, it was pleasing to look at. Your character drawings were solid and overall it was nice to read. The comic was quick-paced which seemed a little awkward relative to the beginning of the comic and some of the city backgrounds lacked creativity. I would have wanted some more exposition on the scene where Andrea was returning from home with the groceries. It would have been a good time to add some dialogue and keep it a little slow until he bumped into Nova. The background, when they were shown, weren't bad, just uninteresting. The colouring on them was well-done and it didn't distract me from the story at all. I like it, and I'm interested in seeing more from you later.

Fowlie: I'm really digging this comic, Fowlie. I'm really impressed with it overall. I think that you've improved defininitely. The colours were well-suited to the tone of the story and it fit with Nova's mood too. The body language and figures used through-out were nice and I didn't feel any stiffness while reading through. The ending was emotionally moving, which shows good storytelling skills. Rape can be a cheap way to jerk around the reader's feelings, but I didn't feel any cheapness here. The background work was well done and there was enough detail to escape blandness, but the wide city shots I felt were a little lacking in originality. They didn't bother me the first read through, but a second read, and I feel that it was a weaker point of your comic. The only suggestion I can make to that is to study cityscapes prior to drawing a wide scene like the one in your comic, even using some loose reference may help.

Both well done comics. I'm impressed.

I'm sorry Kirei-kuro, but let's be honest here, there was more to this comic than a rape scene. So I'd hardly classify it as solely a "rape comic".


Fowlie: RAPE! RAPE! OK enough of that, so far I like how you're developing Nova and how his story is progressing, I still think some of the panels are a bit too cluttered in some areas, but I really think the only thing you should do is have bigger panels for the zoomed out shots cause even when those panels are kinda small, they look great. Just give those scenery panels some more love.

Story here hands down is great and rather chilling seeing as how Nova still has that somewhat evil side to him. I can only ask: What happens next?


Owlgem: Not bad, it's a solid first entry, but I just wasn't really into the story and art presented here. The story is kinda overdone here on void, but it's a common first comic used by most people anyway. However, I really can't accept the fact that Nova got his ass handed to him so easily and that Andrea learned he was a demon by just his glowing eyes. If let's say that Nova was an actual threat and had Andrea by the throat somehow with his tentacles and he manages to beat him in the end however, that would be more believable. I did find the end joke funny however so I can't really say anything else.

For the art, the coloring is good, nobody can say it's not, but the backgrounds are very flat and dull here, and you gotta be careful of your perspective, 1st page is a good example of this seeing as how by the door when he's putting on his coat, he looks like he is 6ft exactly as you want him to be, but in the panel where he's walking back he looks smaller than he originally was in the last panel and he's barely a foot above that doorknob there and he's probably 5'3". You gotta remind yourself that if your character is at a certain height, he's gotta look the part in your backgrounds, it's kinda hard to figure out I'll admit, but just apply whatever point perspective you're using onto your characters along with the buildings and it'll help you figure out how big your character needs to be in certain scenes. But anywho, it's a nice first entry, I hope that you can push yourself further in your next battle.


Vote goes to Fowlie on this one.

haha, wow what is with Nova these days? Well, it seems that he hasn't gone completely soft since joining Girl Power. You have been taking this guy for a ride lately, Fowlie. I am darkly curious as to what you will do with him next. oh, I hope Andrea comes back. o.o Husb-ant with a vengeance!
Anyways, a few of the panels/sequences confused me... When Leroy first shows up, I didn't think it was clear that he was banging on the window. I mean I had to think about it to realise where he was. Maybe if you'd pulled out a bit in that first panel with Leroy to show a bit of the bar or Nova's reflection or something, that could have communicated it better...?
And in the kitchen on page 5, that big shot of Nova grabbing Lila, I can't quite figure out the background; obviously there's a counter or something, but the perspective is kind of skewed I think and I can't make out what's the side and what's the top?... Also, the kitchen itself seems too empty.
I didn't care for the colors so much... possibly too much dark colors, needed some middle tones?
And I think sometimes the dark colors in the backgrounds ran into the darks in the foreground and made it tough to separate the two... I don't know how to explain that.

owlgem- I'll try not to repeat everybody else's points, but I agree that the shading is kinna flat.. except for panels like the first one of page 2, which is really nice. :O I wonder if your style would benefit if you eased up on the linework a bit, like drew thinner ones, for example, or even going completely line-less?
I thought the fight scene was a bit tired, but it built up to the punchline, which was a disturbing yet amusing one... which tied the whole comic together nicely. :B I hope we see more of Andrea.

Fowlie: You've got to be one of the best storytellers I know on Void. Every comic is a delight, that I would read even if it were out of a book. Your art is not needed to enjoy it, which is something I'm really big on. It just happens that your art is pretty damn good and helps everything along! great job!

Owlgem: Your comic was pretty good. It was nice to look at, but I felt something was lacking. I think the character interactions felt a bit stale, and forced. The ending really did make me giggle quite a bit, though!

Fowlie: I am extremely impressed once again. The Angst that you pull with Nova is simply real. It's like I'm watching House! (I.. love that show!) just minus all the medical crap! My favorite thing out of all of this was the cityscapes. Off-blacks, etc? Way to make it all stand out. I honestly have nothing else to say outside of you doing a great job.

Owlgem: For the time problems and what not that you had, this is a very solid entry. It's not often we see a very decent first battle.
I don't exactly agree with the others that the shading is flat. The blue tones you used every so often make it stand out and rather than flat it appears smooth and.. well, I can't think of the other word. The ending you pulled off was very cute. It gave me a nice chuckle that you tied that in. Like for Fowlie, I don't exactly have much to say. Just take note that we are all glad you got this in and hope you continue to battle/submit here on Void. I honestly see this being a good thing to better both your artwork and your self esteem to participate here.

Overall, both of these were evenly matched for me and I can not find myself to pick a favorite. WONDERFUL work, Girls.

Fowlie : I really enjoyed how in depth you were with this comic, showing off some more humanistic sides to Nova's personality as well as connecting it to the previous storyline.  I can't come up with anything to crit, besides what was already said about the buildings looking flatly. The ending left me with some chills though, heheh poor Lila.....

Gem: Storywise, for a first match, it isn't a bad start. You had a basic plot going and sometimes that's the best thing to stick with the first time around. The end page made me laugh and it had a good buildup. Your strongest points were the quality and cleanliness of the overall pages.
 However, the only plothole I noticed was Andrea suspecting he was a demon. The whole red eyes wasn't such an easy give away as there have been other characters with similar traits and they tend to be gentlemen of do gooding and what have you. ( Mize, and Arke for example )   So it's always good to stick with the obvious character traits and use them to your best advantage. ( i.e Nova's tentacles )

Wonderful entries to you both. May the best lady win!

Owlgem: I was kinda like meh about your story but I got a chuckle near the end.

Like pong said your shading is flat. I think your lines are bit wobbly. I had a hard time reading your dialogue, sorry I have terrible vision so this made me strain my eyes a bit more. What did get me was there was not much of a fight when it came to Nova in your battle. He kinda seemed super weak, especially for him being a demon. He should've put a at least a bit more fight.  It's not bad for a first fight hell you did better than most  but I figured I throw my two cents out there.

Fowlie: Pong said all the flaws I saw.
Other than that, man I felt really bad for Nova. Poor guy just wants to feel manly again. really entertaining, I love that you showed Nova's more human side.

Flowie: I understand that what's Nova is going throug is natural, and it might not be pretty, sometimes unpleasent to read if you connect in some way to character, but that's life. I like it even when he's insecure and depressed. I like the details on buildings, they lack perspective - it beats my backgrounds so I don't have much to say when I feel inferior in such matters.

Owlgem: I don't know how did Andrea figured out that Nova is a demon, when he didn't use his tentacles.

I like both of your comices very much XD

Fowlie: I like that you portray nova as such a pathetic insecure being.  I did like that part of the story.  Anyway, your night scene is remarkable (I mean this in a non praising way) for the fact that it lacks black.  And your buildings are a little flat and disproportionate, but no major flaws here.

Owlgem: as I was reading this, I was worried that nothing interesting was going to happen.  But then I got to the last page, and you had the perfect punchline to top off all of the gradually building tension. My only bit art-wise is some of the shading seemed a little flat - I mean it is supposed to be at night so there's not going to be a lot of contrast anyway but your range of shades still seemed a little too flat for my own taste.

Really I thought both were great entries.

Yes, I am
but I also prefered more self confident Nova - I know that it takes time to recover after hearbreaking, but I didn't think that a rapist (sp?) would suffer so much.

Dude.
Just, dude.
Even if you are homophobic that's not something you really openly admit to.

Also, are you human? Everybody has problems.
