The writing positively shined through in this comic.  I like that these siblings can be emotionally vulnerable around one another and reach out for support when in a rough patch.  There are different kinds of love, and this is a familial, quiet kind of love that needs to be explored more in comics.

I liked the interpretation of Llaana being an antagonist purely in Snaffle's head, like an intrusive thought or something that can send you mentally spiralling.  Win or lose, I think your did a great job writing that sibling dynamic and repurposing Llanna to fit your story.

My favorite background--Cryptid Football, circa 1950.  Go Flatwoods!

In contrast to Lucky and Corn's entry, y'all had a polished looking comic, but I was left wanting for that plot.  In combination with Birthright and this comic, I understand that Llaana wants to live, but I've yet to understand why she feels threatened.  Maybe I'm not supposed to and you're only asking me to witness the rise of an Enfant Terrible.  If so, I stand by the critique that I need to understand her angle.  If she be villain, the best endorsement she can get is a justification for her actions.

This was a cute comic, and it's probably no surprise that I'm a sucker for saving someone through the power of love. I love how you used shifting styles to represent the mindscape, and having Loot crush Llaana with a rolled up newspaper was great!

On the flip side, I think this comic would have benefitted from being shorter so more time could be spent on varying up shots and giving more love to the backgrounds, as well as just giving it a more concise storyline. We spent a lot of time at the beginning showing Snaffle's and Loot's shenanigans, but I didn't really get a feel for their personalities any more than what I already could tell from their bio/design sheet. Actually, I think those two things did a better job of communicating their personalities than this comic. From this comic alone, I get that Loot is protective of Snaffle and will fight to protect or save her, but that's about it. I thought Snaffle falling asleep at the beginning was supposed to be showing off a part of her personality, but that ended up just being Llaana's meddling. Art-wise, we had a lot of mid shots that made everything feel like it was happening in very vague space rather than grounding the reader in the space you've created for them. That kind of works great for the mindscape portion, because it's supposed to be bizarre and confusing, but I would have liked more contextual backgrounds for the real world portion. I honestly have no idea where anything in the museum is relative to each other. If the comic overall had been shorter, you could have drawn more detailed backgrounds without having to draw too many of them.

All that aside, this was a fun comic! I loved the body horror element of Snaffle in her dream, and how much it scared Loot to see his sister like that. I loved his determination to do whatever he could even though he had no idea how to save her. And Llaana trying to take over Snaffle's body/magic in order to enter the real world was a great way to make me sympathize with her just a little bit even while rooting against her. Well done, and I hope we get to see more of these two!

Short and sweet, just the way I like it! I'm glad you were able to find a good balance that let you craft such a high quality comic!

While I'm not sure what exactly the "waaawaa" sound effect was supposed to actually sound like, I liked the visual noise it added, making everything feel chaotic and claustrophobic. And the heartbeat sound effects growing more frequent as the comic went on was a wonderful touch. The brutality of the killings was also excellently done.

If I had one nitpick here, it's that because of Llaana's influence changing Snaffle's and Loot's personalities, we didn't really get to see them being themselves at all. Maybe that's not important in a death match where the focus is on revealing Llaana's nature and powers, but it might have been nice for them to have a bit better representation. It did seem fitting for Loot to end up being the one who got the cube, so maybe that's enough of an indicator of their different personalities.

The art was gorgeous; you guys really build on each other's strengths in a perfectly synergistic way, and I hope we get to see more! I'm also intrigued by Llaana's statement that S&L aren't real, and everything falling apart to reveal the bizarre world of that last panel. I want to know more, and it makes me happy to know that we'll get more even if you guys end up losing. But we'll just have to wait and see how things go!
