I'm back reading in preparation for the final round. I love your inks so much. This comic doesn't need color which by its self says a lot. Great job.

very cool worldbuilding, Radji! and it is well suited to Sand!AU, too.
I don't think you can fret over the depiction of your opponent for the reasons Heathen gave.

marrion, don't be afraid to ask for help from people from the entervoid discord, even just DMing people is ok. the worst they can do is not respond, right?

Always glad to see more Kiski. Love the story here and I, personally, don't mind the artistic liberty taken with your opponent, I still think the spirit of the characters is there

I love your round! It would be nice to use these AUs again, but I'm not too attached to them... they were just designs before this.

Radji: I love your comic style, but yeah I did recognize your opponent’s characters from the silhouette but later on, I didn’t really see Marionberrypi’s characters but a whole new monster 🤔 but it was a nice read nonetheless!🤗

Marionberrypi: You can use the Phoenix Feather to revive your characters later on🪶! Well, if you want to!🤗 Hope everything’s fine on your side!🤞

Radji - your pencil work was really nice and so were your backgrounds. I enjoyed seeing the backstory of Kiski and how you tied it to the Bridesmaid's back stories.

Marrionberry I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to upload in time. I wish you better luck for future battles.

My condolences Marrion. I wish you more luck and fortune in making and submitting comics without a fuss in the future. It's never fun to have life get in the way.

This was a nice comic and I'm glad you got the strength to do a comic without your health suffering. I don't think your depiction of the Bridesmaids was 100% unrecognisable but I do think Heathens confusion was valid. Though I do think you came very close too in reinterpreting these vampiric royals.

Shame we only got the one side to this, and your concerns were well founded, Radji, because I don’t see your opponent in here anywhere. Good to see you back in these streets, though.

Incredible lines as usual, Radji! your inks are super inspiring, and the backgrounds are on point!

Radji: awesome motion and fluidity, pretty nice story, man!

it's a bummer marrion couldn't submit a comic.
This was still really good Radji.
Nice lore and building of the world for the ant queen

I'm sorry to hear you couldn't complete your entry Marrionberry, but fret not, you'll do better next time
