Fox24: Was this a scar match, death match, or life match? Just wondering because I'm seeing people dying at the end. Sorry I didn't read the story because it's 1am.

It is a Death Match.
Wolcik: Hey, least you turned something in, right? I liked your set up here, I was really curious how you planned on handling the story here. I think your pacing was a little quick with not enough explanation for the story at the end though. I assumed that Worltex left the demon inside of Casino Reasoning and left him inside of that suspended animation state, but it wasn't totally clear.
Your pencil roughs for what it's worth looked decent. You should work on your posing, it felt a bit stiff here. (Then again, it's pencil roughs so I dunno if that's a fair critique to make here.)
It's really too bad you couldn't finish this all the way. At the same time, you should have been working on this when you were making those pin ups for your other battle that hadn't even started yet. Even IF you had other stuff going on in your life (which is totally fine, don't think for a second that Void's more important than that.) it still doesn't excuse the fact you were working on some other pinups and covers for another fight later.
So, just as a word of advice, always focus on your present work before jumping to the next one. I know Worltex was pretty much over for you anyways as you have a lot more fun with Mr. Awesome, but I hope you don't end up causing this position for yourself again. I'm sure your next battle will be much better, though.
Le Fred: This might be my favorite comic from you so far. This fight really made Casino Reasoning that much cooler of a character to me, I didn't think he was the 'swashbuckling' type. (I wouldn't say hero, but he's certainly adventurous.)
Your story was really creative and took a part of Worltex I didn't think anyone actually knew about/remembered. The devil releasing was a very brilliant direction and one I didn't actually expect. I wonder what Worltex was coming to actually talk to Casino Reasoning about though? It'd be a cool idea to have that bite him in the ass in the future.
Your art was fantastic. The solid black and hatched lines with your colors looked marvelous. Your line widths could be a bit more consistent but besides that, you did very well. The panel set up worked well here I thought. I'm not crazy for horizontal comics, but you did alright with it.
Your hands still need a little work, they're a bit on the smallish side in some panels. Specifically when at rest or to the sides. Those nasolabial lines on the faces however are really bugging me though. When you draw them solidly constantly, they make your people look that much older. While that may work for an old person, it looks kind of awkward on the players here.
You really made this fight yours and it's very well done. You've definitely jumped in ability since your last death match all the way when you started the site. I hope your next fight is just as good, if not better.

My hands are now red, and try as I might, the color will not dissipate. I wander the earths, marked by my crime, scowled upon by all those who lay eyes on my shame. Is there no respose for a darkened soul such as mine, safe for in the very soils that caused me to be ostrasized so? Come, doom, and mayhaps together we can tint more than my hands...
Thanks, Rolfqu! I think this battle geve me back some faith in the character myself, who knows where it goes from here?
