Yeah, Delya comics!

It wasn't until your note and link from DA did I really understand what Shrapnel Girls power is! How crazy is that? Totally turned an interest to the character now that she's more than a pretty face. Nex played the part of jerk effortlessly, and it's hilarious he just wouldn't die.

As for 4:00AM- cow and udders= hilarity. I personally like comics that begin in the thick of things as opposed to a proper beginning and this is no exception. I like that the story actually showcased Nex's shadowy thinga-ma-jig as well, but Shrapnel Girl kinda fell flat in the character development department

Delya - A lil simple on the Shrapnel Girl outfit. The plugs or other stuff on her suit defines her distinct look.
  I absolutely adore the colours. Cute ass facial expressions and some cool humor.

4 - Kinda rushy on the lines, but i dig the neon-ish colours you used. Makes the experience all surrealistic.
Even though i was expecting the over the top action sequences, this worked pretty damn well.
Shrap used some Jedi mindtrick to get out of a situation and actually keeps her promise. Fukkin priceless!

Boob comics..lol

great use of color guys!

jRPG = Japanese Role Playing Game.

Random Battles and all that crap. I disagree with Wolcik kind of in that aspect, especially in a tourney setting where you don't really have an idea of who you are going to be fighting and when its under a limited amount of time. I'd rather see a good standalone comic with a character that fits with random encounters, than a story driven epic and it all feels out of place. I do like story arcs don't get me wrong (I've been doing my own shitty arcs) but it all depends on the character bro.

Not sure what a jRPG is, haha. But thanks for the crits! That's been my issue with Nex for a while- I could never develop a solid story for him. I've been racking my brain recently over it, so we'll see if I can come up with something a bit more continuous. C:

Deyla: It's an awesome battle. Boobs as a sound effect and overall sense of humor is amazing. I really coud feel SHrapnel's annoyance with Nex - exploding boobs page is still my favorite.

4:00Am: Your story didn't feel complete as it had no begining and it started right in the second act if not the third. There was no build up or reason for them to battle, and I know it's your character but since you promised tities I think audience should also see them naked at least because if a girl is selling herself at least she could sell  herself well.

The problem I have with both of your stories was that they felt really standard in nature, not Tourney-y at all. I didn't mean that the tourney should be mentioned but it be better if this could be a set up for a complete story arc instead of random encounter after random encounter - play less jRPGs XD

Nice job guys~

Delya: Loooved the expressions and that ending was too cute. I do think you can give your backgrounds some more love though.

4AM: I think you needed better timing in this or something. I don't know it felt like something was missing; maybe it just needed a stronger beginning? I laughed at the last page though.

@Del I will admit, I thought you were going to fall into the "returning vet syndrome", but you did a nice comic. Way to fight the cycle. The comic was fun, the exploding boobs were awesome. The only real thing I can nitpick about this is that you should have used one more shade.. a lighter one for the sky/BG.

@Gav The concept was great. Some of the pages, especially in the beginning, look crazy rushed. There are a couple of things I think you should start doing.  The biggest is to either cut out some dialogue or make your bubbles bigger (maybe even both). Dialogue should never touch the sides of the bubbles.. or even come close really. The next thing I'd like to mention, what happened to you doing limited and bright color schemes? I thought it was really fitting your style well.

I feel terrible about going against my brother from another, but I had to give my vote to Delya... by a point.

Thanks for the comments and crits, guys. Much appreciated! I know my lineart and backgrounds are very.. lacking haha. I inked/colored the bulk of this comic in the 24 hours before it was due. >>; So uhh, my bad. Backgrounds have always been a weak point for me, so I'm definitely working on steppin' up there.

Delya: as a long-time devART fan of yours, it was when I was one of the folks who colored your enterVoid page vs. Scurcrow that I came across Void in the first place. It's great to see you return here.

The colors and characterization are all there thumbs up, the humor's on point, the prime weakness with the comic is backgrounds; it'd be cool to see a greater development of that if you make it to the next round.


4am: nice work with the colors, but what this comic suffers from is the story.. being that it's a very basic fight with a humorous twist that could have been stronger. It was a noble effort you performed trying to draw Nex, one can tell that it must have been a pain. Keep it up!

Pretty well done from both of you.  Nice, pretty simply concept and execution from Delya. Gavin man, you really have to work on depth, I think part of the issues with your comics is that there's detail but the depth is pretty off - you tend to have a lot of straight up and side shots that don't really showcase perspective or forshortening at all.

That said, for whatever reason, your comic had me laughing like a madman. Not bad at all from both of you.

Also tits.

this was great. Who doesn't love boobs? And getting two comics centered around boobs, that's like Christmas come early!

Love the color scheme, Delya, I really do. Not your best quality line work, but it was still good, and I think those colors hid it a bit too. Also, BOOB as a sound effect.... is something that should be a staple in EVERY SINGLE COMIC EVER

Gavin, your comic had me laughing, haha. Good job on using Burglas in there. My big complaint is one I have with almost all your comics. Everything is colored so darkly, there's not good sense of contrast, so it's hard to make out a lot of the things in it. Also, no clear establishing shot here, so I had no clue where they were.

Haha Delya the exploding boobs had me laughing pretty good.

Great fight you two.

Two comics based around feeling up a girl's rack is like a sophie's choice thing for me. But it's got to go to Gavin, if only for personal taste.

And Gavin: "uDDers", "UDDERS".

When I grow up, I wanna be a Nex.

Not having any idea what to expect from this, I am very pleasantly surprised! Your sense of humor is pretty damn good, bro. Had me laughin' the whole time. Especially the cow thing. I don't think anyone's actually used Blurgas' abilities like that before (myself included). MOST EXCELLENT. Thanks for a fun round. <3

yes for this!!!!

Good luck you two! Nice to see you back in the ring Delya

I saw the hype for this one, and so I AM EXCITED
Good Luck!!

welcome back you two bad-asses. look forward to this.

Great luck guys.

AHMG! This one will definitely have explosions!

Neeeeeeeeeeeex!!!

Good luck guys!

I am excite for this. Always loved your character, bro. Should be fun. <3

Hot damn. This is hot! Good luck you two!
