Selevan: Bummer that you couldn't do more - happens to the best of us, lol. But the fact that you managed to make your entry in the span of just a few hours is INSANE work! What you've managed to put out looks incredible :]

That_Tired_Artist: Cuttle Killer just being an absolute yapper is incredibly funny to me, lol. "Get a load of this guy" jokes are my kryptonite too, so I was bound to love this goofy comic :]

@Selevan, you’re a machine!! Even if it’s unfinished, turning in a comic this big in just three hours is an incredible feat. I’d love to see what you could do if you were free during the two-week deadline.

@That_Tired_Artist that was funny as heck, and Cuttle-Killer’s personality is annoyingly AWFUL, just how I imagined lmao. What a great character!!

Really hyped to read more comics from him!! Welcome to Void!

@ Selevan

Judging as a comic you did in 3 hours after work: Not bad! I was able to understand what was happening and the compositions gave a good impression of your vision. Honest props for buckling down and trying to submit anything at all. The one thing I would have preferred for you to do in your 3 hours is start with a thinner line width from the jump, then rush back with thicker lines where needed. I think this would have helped with some monster legibility

@ That_Tired_Artist

Welcome and congrats on making the best with your time as well! I don’t know if it was intentional to have the second wall of insults from Cuttle-Killer cut off the side of the page but it was funny enough so it works. The only thing that really bugged me was the color of the stripes and splotches over Cuttle-Killer’s body, that yellow is clashing really hard with the white in a way that my monitor doesn’t like. If that wasn’t from rushing to complete, would revisit the color choice in future comics. Cuttle-Killer is one of my favorites of the roster, can't wait to see more of his antics in the future

That end image of the kalamari was great. over time you will figure out how to better spread the panels since this page could have been potentially split up into like 2-3 pages. Also try some different fonts and getting fonts specifically for comics. Blambot is a great resource with plenty of free comic fronts you can use.

This was absolutely hilarious. Cuttle-Killer went for the jugular, goddamn. Fittingly comical ending with him getting turned into calamari, as well. Very goofy and enjoyable.

this is really good work for your first comic! I was very excited to see Cuttle-killer when you dropped them in chat, too. Such a good character flaw and unusual animal inspiration.

I'm still learning comic layouts myself but one of the things that helps a lot is to print off your comic and hold it in your hand. NUmber one, it is validating to see your comics in print. and number two, you feel like you're seeing it with fresh eyes.

just having an insult slinging match is very classic OCT banter from like 20 years ago! so it's cool to see you pick up what used to be laid down all the time.

I appreciate a good meme. however, have some confidence in yourself! you can be the progenerater inventor and author of fresh hot memes! just draw a silly picture. boom, meme fodder. cuttle-killer's insults are very creative and got a chuckle out of me. This is such a cute comic and feels so complete as well. I can't wait to see more from you! Welcome to the club!

This was so silly! It would have been nice to see a fight comic but this was still fun! Hope to see more from you!

This one was funny and wholly not what I expected. I do think the panels are a bit squashed, but that's something that usually fixes itself when you do more comics. I like the personality you gave cuttle-killer and hope to see more. Nice job!

This made me laugh omg. I think the panel structure would have worked much better if you just stacked the panels on top of each other and just had a scrolling format. But, really good work for someone who is not a super experienced comic maker!!!!

Knowing this was a backup plan instead of your original idea, this is still a solid entry and an enjoyable read. I would just like to implore you for the future to not be afraid to post unfinished comics. Sometimes even if the visuals aren't quite uo to snuff, decent writing can still win the day. You didnsay you wanted to finish your original idea and upload it later, if I remember correctly, and I definitely hope you do
