Both of you guys had such fun and interesting twists!

Goldie: Once again, I adore your line work and anatomy! The ideas of the Valkeries winning gold by default and Ancelin's team being made entirely out of her robo-copies were very funny to me, lol. (Also, fairy Ancelin looks so pretty!)

Rose: Such a fascinating (and almost haunting) story! Her just staring at me through the screen managed to creep me out a little - it's super cool!!

Right back atcha Goldie and thanks for all the comments and feedback! I want the world to know that I was actually planning on giving Ancelin a very similar form down the road and was tickled pink when Goldie showed me a preview of it and asked if it was okay. I'm excited to update Ancelin's character sheet and bio and hype image and everything! Can't wait to see what's next for Crikey!

Thank you so much to everyone who commented and thank you Rose for this battle! I adore your comic so much ✨

Respect Rose! Using animation and different media really paid off! It got me hooked till the end!

You both got me to crawl out of the woodworks to vote and comment on this!

Goldie: Your art work is always so nice, it's just a shame to see the comic incomplete and Anceline out of character. Your action shots were really nice along with the reveal, I was just surprised to not see Ancelin portrayed as more muscular and fight ready.

Rose: I really enjoyed the use of multimedia, specially the animation with the cracking.

Lots of good action shots that could have been pushed even further with some panel breaks. Loved seeing a fully colored comic out! Nice and vibrant!

Omg I totally forgot I had given you a photo of me for this and had a little jump scare when I saw my eye in the third thumbnail hahah But damn, Rose, what an awesome story!! I love it when you break the fourth wall with Ancelin and use different types of media in your comics. The GIF parts turned out amazing btw!

Those animations were awesome! So those higher beings, they see everything?

very interesting

Goldie: That twist at the end got me so good, it's a shame you couldn't finish everything up but it was a really enjoyable comic!!

Rose: The animations floored me I was not expecting it, but I know you love to play with those sorts of themes. I think it was really successful! I also appreciate how there were portions of this comic that only Crikey could do, despite it mostly not involving Ancelin's opponent you still found a way to make Crikey contribute in a way that can't be easily replaced by another character. Huge kudos!

It brings me such joy seeing my eyeball being used in such an amazing and creative way, kudos to this really imaginative comic

Shame I got too busy to take a photo of my eye like I meant to. This was a gem from beginning to end. The photos + the limited animation made it cool and exciting.

The mixed media was really fun. The fourth wall breaking always breaks my immersion a bit, but it being so intentional does help. Really nice work, especially with the issues you were having.

SO THATS WHAT THAT WAS FOR

Honestly good showing! Quite like the mixed media use hehe

Aweee thank you Rose! I'm so sorry you had some drama happening, I can defo understand; the wind was completely out of my sails too, but we made it! I look forward to reading your side!

I wanna give Goldie a big shout out for being so responsive with questions about Crikey and for the good vibes she brought to my DMs throughout this battle! I had some big drama happen that took the wind out of my sails for a good week, but this comic has been so fun to work on and I hope it lands! I often get to the end of a battle feeling like my comic makes no sense and looks bad and honestly I'm still feeling some of that but mostly I'm just proud at how much I was able to get done! I can't wait to see what Goldie's cooked up!!! Thanks for being such a great final opponent for this tournament!

Honestly this is going to be so fun

Good luck! Good luck! May the best weirdly supernatural lady win!
