Pi - I'm going to give you one of my in-depth critiques. I decided that even before you asked for it, since I think you need it the most out of the submissions. I don't know when it'll show up, since I have to put aside at least an hour to do one of those things. Zato - a lot of dialouge. I'm not complaining, I think the pacing and progression worked well, but I suggest cutting it back a little. You developed both characters nicely, which would be great in a normal match, but a different set of rules apply here. Trim it down a page or two and focus on quality over quantity. I don't know who your next opponent is going to be, but odds are you're going to need to step up your game. I know you have it in you. My apologies to Pi, since I'm talking to Zato as if he already won, but a 60/30 split is hard to recover from no matter who you are.

Aww my god, I was about to leave just a beautiful commentary, and then I lost it! Okay to sum up: Pi- Don't let this hump slow you down. You got potential. I can see it. You had some nifty ideas in your story and the dialogue was pretty well thought out. I like how you at least took a chance by hitting different angles for your action. Work hard and you can take these concepts to the next level. Zato- You impresed me a lot with this one, especially given the amount of time you had. Try to give your action shots as much attention as you give your shots of characters and scenery though, they're the parts that look obviously rushed. Overall you've come a real long way since your first fight with Veiden and I actually hope I can grow equally as much as you have as time passes on the site. Keep on keeping on!

Thanks whoever you are. I seem to be getting a lot fo running my mouth on the forums, which is to be expected. Yeah, I know I crapped out on this one, and props to Zato for pulling through with an awesome rendition of my character. And although I know what I did wrong, that doesn't mean I wouldn't like some feedback. I crit other people's stuff to the best of my ability, and I would appreciate it if others would do me the same courtesy. Don't worry about me being sensitive to that shit or whatever; if you have something to say, then say it, as plainly and openly as you can. This whole site is about learning, and just assuming that I know what I'm talking about when I critique the works of other people is one sorry way for me to learn. I crit what I see, and when I'm crunching down on my own time I hardly ever see what's wrong with my own stuff. So please, don't be assholes and just leave the damn comments, yeah? Funny thing is that I was hoping I could use this battle as a way of showing the Council how much I was willing to work hard to get into Void. Sadly, I'm afraid I've done just the opposite.

Ok being serous for a moment. Since you're kind enough to give me a crit on my shit, here's my critique on your shit. Ok, one thing I'm noticing is that your faces look like round overinflated balloons, basicly a round shape with lines on it and no depth whatsoever! You seriously need to learn about depth and find yourself some google images of people with faces so you can figure out how to draw them! Speaking of faces, avoid using L's and V's for noses, that's just half assed and looks like crap. Your anatomy needs a major tune up, grab those loomis books in the C:/tools room and study the crap out of it until you get sick by the mear mention of anatomy in any form! Backgrounds... you defenetly need tons of work on backgrounds, use jar's tutorial to figure out the basics then google image search photo's of cityscapes and learn about the shapes and details of them! Oh, and get rid of that photoshoped background, that just does not look like space whatsoever. Oh, don't blur anything out again... that gave me a headache that might not end until tomorrow night. The line art in general looks extremely boring, nothing stands out and sometimes it was hard for me to determan who was galaxy and who was estrella! It basicly looks like this shit was done on MSpaint for all I know. Everything else can be fixed up if you look up real live referances on the google Image search. It is your GOD NOW! Fix up all of your art man! Peace out!

Indeed, good reading from both. Pi: What can I tell somebody who just seems to know it all, and yet has nothing to show for it in return... nothing really, moving on! Zato: This was too easy for ya wasn't it ;) Um... not much to say except maybe we should of seen some extra gore at the end ... just a thought. But Great battle man! Pi, you've got a long way to go, nice knowing galaxy, keep it up or something?

Wow...good little stories from both of you...very pleasing reads pi - since your such an art expert and give out tons of advice, I don't need to tell you what you did wrong here :) Zats - I'm laughing out loud here. Very very entertaining. Your level of humor in your comics always makes me smile. Artwise I know you could have done a lot better, but this is still great. Props to zato, you get my vote.
