Rose: Love the artwork here! Your inking and watercolors work so nicely together that I just can't help but stare at it. It adds in a nice hint of texture to the pages!

Petrichor: Your expressions and comedy here are on point! Absolutely love the wild look that Nagore gets once the promise of money finally hits her, lol.

Petrichor! Very fun romp! your drawings are super clean and objective as usual.

my favorite joke was when the second Kaiju appeared, and the crowd said the first kaiju 'gave birth'. fantastic. seeing the technodome get wrecked by a Rose character was also v. funny. Kinda felt bad for Nagore when she didn't get paid at the end. Don't worry, Cameron's accountant is Kurdis, we can pull some strings for her.

I didn't notice the crows on the final page on the first read. are they photobashed? if so, totally correct use of this application.

I'm interested to see which side of the battle wins. *tents fingers*

The facial expressions you pull for your comics always kill me!!!

Look at these veterans delivering such good kaiju comics eats

@Rose

This is such a strong entry! It's so appreciated you put in the legwork for showing some kaiju-sized urban destruction, there's a lot of charm in your shapes and colors, and you end on a great gag! Bravo

@Petrichor

I'm always impressed by how strong your inks are, and I think you're giving a great show of expression design here with a lot of range. Nagore's problems are too relatable; I also always love seeing her little domestic moments with her loved ones, Vidia included; keep drawing what you love

@Rockman

Thanks man, I really appreciate that you enjoyed it!

As for your personal opinions, well, the last time she did something motivated by money in one of my comics was literally two years ago.

And about her always being with Vidia, I just really like drawing them together hahah. It’s a little treat I give myself, and I have a blast writing their interactions every single time.

By the way, depending on who my opponent was, I had ideas to pair her with Ramunas, Ellie, Rantu, or have her go solo in the story. But I already knew she’d be with Vidia if Graveyard Smash ended up being my opponent, since I wanted the comic’s intro to take place at night at their house.

I enjoyed this Petri! A personal opinion is that I feel that Nagore being almost always with Vidia and motivated just by money is getting a little stale. I would love to see more solo adventures and more dimension to her.

Solid art and story and your expressions are always candy to the eye.

Another fun read! You do such good expressions, dude. It really adds to the humor fitting of its title. Not to mention your action scenes are absolute killer to look at. Using Leviathorah as a bat to swing at Graveyard Smash is so funny.

Not to mention how much shit Nagore keeps getting thrown at her about with happened in Arma 2022. It's been 3 years. Get over it, Void City /j

(Love getting to see more Nagore/Vidia bits too)

This comic was so funny! Nagore’s expressions were constantly getting a laugh out of me, and the poor mayor never looked more sweaty. Great stuff!!

This one is on the more difficult side of things to judge, why are both of you so good and hilarious and handsome it should be illegal!

These were both such fun stories! Voting will be tough.

Super fun read! I absolutely loved the humor in this; very snappy dialogue. The art also displayed the personalities of all the characters really well, and I loved all the over-the-top expressions. The Goku pose at the end was also amazing.

omg these two entries were super fun to read, such a feast for the eyes! amazing work both of you!!

INSANELY FUN READING THIS! Y'all are CRACKED with how good you do these! I am not worthy!

top tier expressions and funny story, bureaucracy bringing down nagore is such a fun concept

This is fantastic work from both of you I honestly expected nothing less! This was such a perfect matchup to kick off the tourney, definitely a highlight of round 1

Funny ending and the way your inks are rn is lovely, also the lower jaw fuzz is cute and charming

When walking titans are less worrying than the reward running away from her hands.. lol

After reading the first comic into this one, it's the first time i felt sad reading the other character was hurt, like NOOO THEY WERE BUDDIESSS. But yeah, it's a great comic, very nice story and fight.

I LOVED IT!!! The last page made me choke on my breakfast 😂 The Yamcha pose was the cherry on top 😚👌 Vidia and Nagore are always so fun together, I love the idea that everyone is pissed at the 2022 defenders, and I appreciate the ways you incorporated lore from both GRAVEYARD SMASH and Leviathorah into your comic! It was a pleasure to battle you, and whoever wins I'll be rooting for us next round!

God, this was so funny, your work is always spectacular. What a treat to see this matchup ahhh

This one was SO FUNNY, poor Cameron is going to have a heart attack before the next election! Dairyu is going to lose whatever is left of her good reputation too... Lol!

HYPE FOR THIS ONE HOLY SHIT

lets gooooo

Oh this tourney going Full Octane right away, I see how it is

HOLY SHIT
