Damn! I didn't think it was possible for Ray to become more sexy!

Ghgaahahshdhdnaksddfdddfff I love his new design sheet!!! And he has a beard!??? In in love ; _ ;

My sheet hast been updated with sexy scars. Thanks for the awesome match RED :3

K-K-K-K-Kent              -
 
                            MAAAAAA! I love the way you draw Somadis, and the early pages are so so good. The shot and pacing choices are perfect and feel uniquely crafted for that moment and that story. Those wobbly line energy-stuff panels look great, it's a cool effect.. You totally fill the page and use every available space in an effective way.

             It feels a little rushed, so I'm not sure what technical stuff it's okay for me to crit, but I'ma try. I think your poses and figures are getting way more dynamic, but I think you could totally stand to push the action in them further. They're sometimes more neutral than they need to be, like the hovering poses of Special Friend and Ray on pages 15 and 17.  And like when you have the second part of the team walking up, I think you could totally push those poses, give them a little more character and action. Since most of those characters don't get many lines, the reader needs to get most of their personality from their body language.

         It looks like you struggled with to deal with such a craaaazy size disparity between the characters, because it seems like you defaulted to "Way zoomed out with tiny defenders" much too often. I think you were the most successful when you kept your characters way up close in the foreground and shot past them to see Somadis, it's a way more dynamic and interesting shot.

            Again, I'm just gonna blow the trumpet of "Dang Kent, dat writing". I love how much of a huge ass Ray is, and yet he's still totally lovable.  And the Special Friend Corps is the best. thing. ever. I'm just gonna scoff everytime I hear someone talking about Green Lantern, because SF is where it's at.

Buttface          -

                  Ugh, so bad I'm not even gonna comment on it.



                I lied.

                I like how often you move from thick to thin lines, just make sure you consistently use both on your figures, because sometimes you just go strait thin and that's it. Also, sometimes your thinner line quality on your dudes is kinda wobbly, maybe you were just feeling unconfident, because your line quality is p sweet elsewhere. A few times it's even quite nice on Raygun. It's like, stuff where you get to be expressive and loose you get super into and draw really well, but sometimes you need to slow down for a sec and give us clear form and points of careful articulation.

            Or At least on normal peeps. Somadis is p much amazing every time he shows up, and I think that's partially because you love drawing him, and partially because he actually does have a log-like body and limbs. A lot of what makes him interesting are his super cool surface details. But then you bring those same sort of shapes onto Ray and it looks weird, because what needs to be interesting about him are the curves and action of the complex shapes that make up his body. You could try blocking in your figure with angular and strait lines only when you're sketching, that'll definitely keep you aware of the major shapes of the muscles and body.

                         Pfff, I'm not even gonna talk about how awesome all those backgrounds and expoloding concrete is, cause you already know. You don't need to hear about crazy amazing Somadis looks looks, or about how I get lost in his big dumb face every time. You don't need to hear that I can't beleive you did all those crazy bricks and spikes and rubbles and windows because I would've clawed my eyes out of head trying to do that. Cause you already know your comic is just incredibly visually dramatic.


Awesome work guys!

I probably have the most trouble with dynamic poses haha, I've been trying though... but I guess sometimes I chicken out a bit. I really tried to work on expressions as well ... which is something people have told me to work on in the past. I think I'm getting there too... just slowly. I definitely sacrificed dude anatomy for crumbling buildings this time :I
I KNOW... I chickened out on the scar!! Hahaha! I didn't want to mess him up too badly because I really like Ray :/ even though it made more sense for him to be super ultra hurt in that situation. I am too nice when it comes to this stuff :<

these were cool!! I think red gets the higher vote from me though, just overall seemed like a more complete package. I like how he was a tragic monster in both but raygun was still a dick haha.

kent I could feel the rushed-ness in some of the pages, and I think that was your real downfall. clearly you're a page making machine, and I'd love to see your pages get all the time they deserve!

red! wow! you had some really great drawings in this, but also some weird ones. your people need a bit of work, but you're heading in the right direction. pump some more dynamics in there! raygun always seems to be just.. standing straight, and shooting straight ahead. also shoulda been a more hardcore scar ;o

I just wanna add major props to Kent for using and abusing the tag system. And Red, let's not forget her. I just smiled when I saw that huge list of tags under Kent's comic.

Kent: IS THIS WHERE METEORA IS NOW!?!? You know how long I've been waiting for you bring her back!? XD

This is a cool story and I love the world building. My critique would be that it doesn't feel completely finished, the lines aren't polished and you've been spoiling us so much with colors lately that now this feels lacking as a result.

Red: It's clear as day that you LOVE drawing Somadis' face, and the best pages are the ones with him in it. You've got some great destruction here too. Sometimes Ray's body's proportions go for a loop, though, like at the top of page 10, where well, it looks like he's 10. I think the laser pews could have been done better in page 11 as well.

Great job guys! it looks like this will be a close one!

FUCK YES

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!

Yeaaahh it was indeed abrupt! I was worried I wasn't going to get to the actual scar part and get disqualified, so I rushed it a bit! And I made sure to mention the Friend Corps! Maybe Special Junior aka Nyle will appear next time

EDIT: Also, I sorta regret the "Moon is a Slut" line because in the end it didn't fit with Meteora's lofty speech patterns. Then again I kinda don't regret it...

Also Also, RED: After I started this story I found out my mom's not coming back to the US until next February (she left in March). So yeah I had a few moments, but I think it was cathartic (musta been Special Friend's effet)

Kent, I love everything about this comic... except for the end! I wanted it to keep going because I loved it so much! Also, the ending did feel kind of abrupt, so there's that too. Your humor was great, especially the Total Eclipse thing. I saw it coming from a mile away, but I still loved it. Also, Special Friend.  I love the scar, and almost want to throw the match just so Somadis will get it (I won't of course). Awesome job, man!

Red: That cityscape on page one is beautiful! In fact, all of your cityscapes are wonderful. Your intense angles and shots with Somadis are also amazing; they create a real sense of weight and massiveness to your character and created some great thematics. On the other hand, Ray's face looked really weird in almost every place you drew him, and his overall design didn't feel very consistent to me. I like the twist at the end where he really didn't care about Somadis and was just tricking him, but I don't feel like his personality came out as much as it should have in the rest of the comic. I mean, he was a cocky bastard, but I wanted a little more of his being a jerk to everyone and witty banter. But anyways, I enjoyed your comic and LOOOOOVE all the detail you put into Somadis and the backgrounds. I can just see you crying as you draw each of those spines, bricks, cracks, etc. I'm sure this would have only been more amazing if your body hadn't decided to mutiny against you.

I HOPE WE GET TO SEE A LOT MORE OF BOTH OF THESE CHARACTERS BECAUSE I LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEARTS

I had a really strong start and got a lot done in the first couple of weeks... good thing I did because by the 3rd week the migraines started.... BUT I GOT IT DONE. DEATH BEFORE DEFAULT.

HOLY CRAP RED AND YOU WERE SICK XD

holy shit people be pulling 20 pagers left and right now !

KENT I LOVE YOUR COMIC. You are the best story teller, really! That is the cutest scar! I can't even handle it! You totally got the vibe of somadis haha, he's ... misunderstood! I thought your story was great, you're just too good at comics :I AND DUH jet packs! Why didn't I think of that?! I had Ray shooting him from tops of buildings lol. Ahh, I just love everything about this. Really great job!!!!!

I feel like I wimped out with Ray's scar, but to be honest I didn't want to mutilate him haha. I like him too much, and kind of wanted to make him look cooler :I As I said, I had to cut some of the ending, but I originally planned to have GMCBLG and Ray meet up again and he would give him the eye patch as a gift and tell him he looked even cooler than before! I did always plan to have him black out, and wake up later after healing a bit... leaving it a little mysterious like, WHY didn't he just obliterate Ray? I'll probably get people saying the ending felt abrupt, and that's totally my bad. I at least got the general idea across, just substituted GMC for the lab people. I guess it's kind of fitting since GMC died during the drawing period of this battle lol.

Anyways, hope you guys like it

I literally just woke up and read your side hahaha! I can't thumb your side from my bed so ill post it in a little bit but I just wanted to say that my initial reaction was OMFGGGGGHASKDFJSLSJJGDDFFFFG.

THANK YOU FOR THIS MATCH! Somadis is a new favorite of mine, and I hope he's in Void for a good long while!!!

HYPED.

In typical Red fashion, I have uploaded with only a couple hours to spare! haha!

I've been rather sick for the past couple of weeks, so there was some stuff that I had to cut at the end, unfortunately... even though this was a super long deadline. Haha, I've been having a rough time lately and I'm so glad this is over.... but it was really fun I can't wait to read your side Kent!!! It's like it's Christmas tomorrow!!!!!!! Kent took my scar match virginity!! Oh my >_>
