Orca: Love how crafty Karaga is in this! Her using a billboard to help visualize her thinking is such a goofy visual gag that I can't help but love it, lol.

Red: Love how creative the arcade framing for this battle is! It works really well with how bold and graphic your art style is, helping bring that sort of "cheap homemade zine made by a chill guy" feel to it.

Somadis!! Loved the arcade aspect to the comic!!!

I love the arcade feel of it and your inks are amazing, i love the textures both of them have on their first full body panels

@red

That was such a charming comic, I loved the character select screen and the sudden change in style after the game started!!

The whole comic was very Red coded. Absolutely loved it!

@karaga

The gradient map did wonders for your comic! Love the lighting effects too. Also, what a cute way to defeat somadis here lol. I wasn't expecting this solution.

Great job with your first Void comic!

This is cracked I loved the line width variation!

@ Karaga

Welcome and congrats on a full color comic comeback! I think you have a great thing going with your monster drawing, it’s nice seeing how much expression you can add to them. One can tell that’s one of the parts you enjoyed the most while making this comic. Going forward I would love to see you give that personality to more of the backgrounds (you actually did a great job with environmental character with that think emoji billboard, more fun stuff like that please). I hope you stick with comics past this battle, you have great potential

@ Red

Seeing you back in the saddle like this blasted me back to nostalgia town to the comic battling days of yore, and the explosive switch to the “in-game graphics” as the “FIGHT!” text flew up literally had me mouthing ‘woah’ as I read. This was so much fun and your play with black and white is literally inspiring, you absolutely still got it

I REALLY LOVE when stuff get videogamey! Awesome rendering and art Red.

Coming back to add that I'm blown away by the detail in the panels that are introducing each fighter. It really sells how powerful each of them is, and you did a great job of making them look as big as they really are! The use of environmental buffs and debuffs to each of the fighters was such a fun way to approach this fight, and I feel like it's very on-theme for a kaiju battle. Hope you and your kiddo are feeling better and I can't wait for more Somadis content!

Red, the art is just so cute here. The staticy gray scale reminds me of an old CRT monitor set to channel 3 so you can plug in your game system. the karaga intro screen is particularly gorge. I also like the pose where she grabs the stage change crystal. the setting of a stage changing video game was very creative; it's a subtle way to introduce new members to the vibe of the site while also hypeing people who still love old void. I also like the post of Somadis crashing through the air to deliver a mega punch.

my only negative would be that in making the characters exist inside a game, it makes them seem less real, in a meta way. But the game aesthetic also plays off nostalgia drive, so it's a double edged sword.

thanks for setting this all up for us, can't wait for the DDR tournament!

Very creative, both of yall! and lovely art on both sides!

Had to read this really quick before bed! I'll vote on it tomorrow when I have time for both comics. I thought this was really cute and am absolutely taking notes on your spot blacks 👀📝 the rendering on both characters was absolutely stellar and delicious to look at! Red art is always such a treat 🩷

AWWW MY GIRL CAMEOD! This was incredible, Red! Loved every second of it! That hatching/grayscale and texture was PHENOMENAL!

Super fun read! I love the arcade setting; brilliant way to put the two on equal footing, and I can really see it gave you the freedom to go over-the-top with the fight. The cameos from other kaiju on the character select screen are also a great touch. The fight had so much action and weight to it; some of those panels looked straight out of a manga. The commentary over the game also made it feel like an event similar to a sports match. Very glad to have had you as my first opponent!

Lovely Textrues! they look so dirty, makes the whole comic have that tiny bit of edge, despite the silly ending. Good use of light and dark, letting the silhouettes do the talking.

My only critique is the bluf effect, since everything else looks so solid, except for the blur in those two panels, makes them a bit out of place. Honestly just a nitpick, this is really good stuff!

This was such a fun comic! I love the spot blacks and whatever you used to make the texture so gritty looking, it turned out really well! I also like that you framed it as a fighting game, that's a neat way to have approached the tournament!

Your use of contrast between the bright and darkened parts helps filtering the page composition so well, they feel nice on the eyes. I'm not much familiar with scrolling types, but this feels great reading through it!

I love this fighting arcade type battle you’ve got going it’s awesome

This is my favorite perspective, I guess you can call it? Where us the reader is reading it as some sort of game, such a clever concept, i do hope you continue this, very, very enjoyable to read!

This is classic Void, right here! this is just so amazing to look at, especially with how varied the visuals are, but nothing ever feels out of place

lets gooooo

GOOD LUCK! Honored to be your first VOID battle!!
