Wonderful sketches as always, Jelly! I'm always blown away whenever I see them as they always feel they're strong enough to stand on their own without any need for inks or full color. My only gripe, however, is that sometimes the art is a bit too rough to make out sometimes, especially on pages where there's SFX being used or as part of the background. Pages 19 and 20 are the examples of this and I think could've benefitted from either having the text being either a different color, a different opacity or both. Considering how page 22 remedies the issue, I'm gonna assume its more due to time constricts in trying to get your comic out rather than a general issue. I also appreciate the effort putting into your crowd shots and including other people's characters as cameos rather than going the easy route and making people blobs. Definitely feels like inclusive when showcasing the politic debatacles of Void lol

Storywise, this was such a fun read! Everyone confusing the Dog for Greece is such a funny bit. Dairyu drinking mid-debate and Choko losing her shit over the madness going on were so fun to watch as well. I felt so bad for Choko. I'd wanna drink too when all her opponents got distracted with playing with the Dog and the only other sane person just isn't giving a shit ≧◔◡◔≦ Also the bit where Dairyu is like "uh that's my son???" to Choko's remark about Yama kills me lmao

Overall, I really enjoy reading this!! I'm glad you were able to put out such a great and funny comic despite the mental struggles ;; Amazing job!!!

Everybody did an absolutely incredible job on this! You should all be proud of yourselves!

Tgood: GOD what an entry! This comic creates such a wonderful build of tension, and the ending with Regi sent chills down my spine. The scene with Yamato being asked if Choko was worth their blessing was an incredibly cool moment, too! Also, the storm battle looks absolutely stellar! I wonder what interaction Maneki-Neko and A Dog had, too...

However, my absolute favorite thing about your entry is the interesting implications for Voids future - a total police state run by a corrupt officer that doesn't even think robots should have rights. It's a shakeup that fills me with dread (in a positive way, of course).

Snowy: Whatever has got you down or stressed, I hope things get better for you soon!

SirJellyRaptor: Funniest possible tonal whiplash considering I read Tgood's entry right before it, lmao. I know that you said you weren't used to doing comedy before on the Discord iirc, but I honestly had NO idea about that before you mentioned it. This is absolutely hysterical! There were so many gags that stuck out to me - the Sovereign Greece mixup, Kurdis' breakdown, but my absolute favorite HAS to be Yamato carrying Keito out.

I first read this comic right after it came out. It was 1 in the morning. I am surprised I didn't get any noise complaints about how hard I laughed.

(And also thank you for the Felix cameo!! He looks so good :D)

Selevan: Honestly, I've pushed things up until the last possible moment so often that I'd feel a bit hypocritical if I criticized you for it. I'm honestly kinda impressed you managed to pump out this amount of detail in such a short amount of time!

I also really enjoy what direction you took with TL Bot here. Him asking why they were just talking instead of truly doing something was honestly a pretty cool scene!

Footini: Love the balance between seriousness and humor! The discussion of Dairyu being worshiped across multiple planets brought up a lot of interesting implications, and the reveal of the disguises was incredibly funny. The bodyguard begging them to live was probably my favorite gag, lol.

Regi trying to save Gwen and Choko thinking apologizing to Ito when she thought she was gonna die were some incredibly powerful scenes, too! Overall, great work (and thanks for the cameos)!

Gregly: There's a ton of fascinating artistic decisions right off the bat! Having Choko be the main POV and making it all set in a medieval fantasy AU were super interesting.

On one hand, I'm not too sure how to feel about this comic not being set in Void proper - this is one of the few events that affects most other canons, after all. But on the other hand, it's both such an interesting take and I can't help but admire the fact that you had a vision for your comic and pursued it wholeheartedly. I know that I get a bit nervous when I think I'm bending pre-established characterization or worldbuilding too much, so comics like these help remind me that they're not supposed to be taken as hard rules!

Incredible work on the characterization and worldbuilding! Congrats on managing to get this all out with full colors, too :D

Everyone did so well! It was super close but my favorite was Gregly's! A full color entry is nothing to sneeze at and I especially liked the weed joke at the beginning lmao. Tbh the AU setting didn't bother me at all I thought you implemented everyone's characters well. Tgood's had nice pacing and really cool art on some pages, Jelly's was the funniest by far, Selevan's had good inks and some good angles and Footini's was pretty gripping throughout and very polished. Good job everyone! No matter who wins we'll have one interesting mayor that's for sure!

Great effort on everything- so many pages done!

Looking forward to what happens next

TGood: Your round was tragic and tense. I had to put it down multiple times because of how stressful it was, and that's a compliment. Choko cuts a truly despicable but still deeply human figure, and all of the terrible things she does (Poor Regi) feel in keeping with her twisted perspective and desire to keep the people she loves safe at all costs.

And that fight scene with Satraxia was just beautiful

Snowy: I'm sorry you couldn't make a comic. I know if you could have, it would've been amazing.

SirJellyRaptor: An absolute laugh riot. Everything about this round was hilarious, and your art is amazing even in sketch form.

Selevan: I'm sorry you weren't able to make something more substantial. As it stands, it's a fun little thing, but doesn't quite match the competition.

Footini: Satraxia has my vote. You combined the intense drama of TGood's round with some of the comedy of Jelly's for a cohesively strong package. Satraxia's conversation with Dairyu and the lead up to it made her cut a charismatic and terrifying figure. I especially like the little metaphorical moments: Satraxia petting the dog as a representation of her promise to protect the vulnerable, and her biting into the fruit to represent both the fruits of her empire to be shared with Void, and her savoring this conquest.

Back to her and Dairyu, because that was the strong point of an already strong round: Her breaking in to meet Yamato was both tense and funny, and the reveal of her just playing with the kid was a silly breaking of the tension, until her true purpose was revealed, casting everything in a new light. And her debate, revealing that Dairyu is revered across the cosmos, and her criticism of her noninterference really, again, helped her cut a dramatic figure.

Gregly: It's astonishing the similarities between your and TGood's rounds, both have Choko as the viewpoint character, and both cast their heroes as truly despicable, a new look for old Gwen. The AU was fascinating, and it was a well told story. Poor Regi again.

These were amazing, everyone! Fantastic turn-out, I enjoyed all of these!

Tgood- amazing comic, i like the visuals, especially the way satraxia moves and dairyu's godform skimming on the bottom of the storm. you did a great job faking me out with 'regi' shooting at protestors only to reveal that it's some new police bots-- definitely gave me that sinking feeling in my chest! I'd love to hear what you have planned with him all dissembled in the basement! you did a great job adding cameos as well, they weren't just space fillers but they helped to inform the story and push the plot as well. awesome work!

Snowy- sorry you couldn't make a comic, i hope you're doing ok!

SirJellyRaptor- your comic was a lot of fun and silly! I love the way you used gwen and had her say what we've all been thinkin. I'm jealous of your lightning fx on p10, i drew a lot of lightning in mine but it didn't look that good! seeing yamato and A Dog playing together was so cute too!

Selevan- the environments you drew are really cool and detailed! Reading again i see that tlbot attaches a translation chip onto himself which i missed the first time. but i do agree it's a little hard to tell who's talking on page six. I love all the detail in the big auditorium panel. good work!

Footini- I like the long chat between Satraxia and Dairyu-- it didn't seem full of hate to me but like Satraxia was calling her bluff in a way, and I like the suggestion that there have been many worlds that have worshipped Dairyu through history-- it connects the two of them to something more vast than we see on Void. I like how Sizar is scared of an old lady and a child twice, that made me laugh. The sequence of them smashing up all the tanks effortlessly was very cool and the ending with the peach is sexy and sinister-- perfect for Satraxia! Well done!

Me- If I ever did an election comic I wanted for it to be some kind of AU because of Heathen's battle-royale style election from several years ago. I just gotta spend a liiiittle more time writing, but i was getting antsy and wanted to start drawing. When I read this I can feel the shift on page 37 when I just scramble toward an ending. (Just disintegrating Satraxia is a huge copout.) I think there was a way to wrap this up with a nice pretty bow that I couldn't quite figure out-- but I'm still really happy with what I did!

You cooked with this one, I liked everything here, the comedy, the cameos, the plot, the silliness. THIS WAS AMAZING JELLY!

My life’s been pretty busy lately, so I won’t be able to comment on every comic, but I just wanted to say I’m amazed at how fun, and well executed these comics were. I honestly don’t know how some of you managed to keep the quality in comics with 40+ pages! You all killed it, and have all my respect and admiration.

Great job, everyone!

The punchline was great. Lovely comic. All the cameos were fun. Please get ye rest.

Oh, this was such an extraordinarily cute and funny comic! The characterizations were so fun and likable while keeping them in character, and the ludicrous nature that A Dog wins in is such a delight. I hope you take a break after this since I know you were going through a rough time during this comic, what you made is so incredible though.

I'm so happy you had Keito being Yamato's babysitter, I hope it stays canon. As I mentioned on Tgood's entry, I would love to be able to make a comic involving Keito and A Dog after elections are over. 🥹

I will cry (tears of joy) if A Dog becomes mayor.

I was expecting a dog and I got it in barrel loads, I was expecting jelly's great artwork and she delivered that in truck loads, but what I wasn't expecting was all these delicious jokes, this is one of the funniest comics I have read on the site in a long time, great job this was truly unexpected.

Omg this comic was a RIOT! It was so cute, and the gags were so funny. Dairyu being petty, Yam and a dog playing, Yam carrying Keito in his mouth 😂😂😂 Kurdis showing up only to realize it was the wrong version of Gwen was amazing. I loved Satraxia just immediately recognizing a dog's greatness. Choko being the only "normal" candidate was so fucking funny. I was barking out loud with laughter!!!

This had me laughing hard, you mentioned having some personal struggles during this but im glad you pulled through and hope the joy this comic gives helps you feel better.

So ready to read these soon! Gonna have to start early so I can get through them all in time to vote

Woof

Beep

lets gooooooo
