The Warrior and the Nomad
My time was extremely limited during this battle due to factors outside of my control, so this comic is far shorter and simpler than what I'd normally be able to make for this deadline. Regardless, thanks for reading! CW: blood

It's always an interesting time when we end up in a three-way in these tournaments, and all three of you did deliver this round, and I know this was an hella of round to make, I was seeing on the discord many obstacles in real life affected a bunch of artists this round, I am impressive nonetheless that ya'll manage to produce some pages given the circumstances.

Badger-A strong entry, I know you wanted to do more and time was not on your side this round, but what you did make is still great.Though I wish to see more on the inner workings of the Inquisition organization in future comics.

Raltz- Your unique style and flair shines through once again in this comic, and I'm not gonna lie, that licking of the eyeball part was disturbing (and a bit sensual) nice job.

Doe- Xiba's past and her mythology is the big draw to me, with each chapter we see more and more of her past and culture, great work with your paneling and line art here, though I felt your scars these rounds were a bit tamer compared to what you did to Mr.Kent's Raygun last round.

Great job and I look forward to the next rounds.

I love how you write Carver, he's very mischievous with his powers and I love how he will fuck around and find out making his own fun in his horrible situation.

Doe -

As always, you crush every competition you do with some of the most incredible art I've personally ever seen with the time constraints you work with. You cooked and I loved the fight, the colors and the scars. Very impressive work all around!

Badger -

With or without time to work on things, you always crank out a banger, Badger. I love you black and white aesthetic with the deep shadows/hard black silhouettes. Absolutely phenomenal.

Raltz -

I had no clue Abyss could act on her own and move away from King while she was asleep, this information really opens up a lot of questions that I hope get answered. Is Abyss more powerful than King? Can she go as much distance away from her host as she likes? Does she even need King or are there requirements put upon her once the deal was made? Excited to see where these characters go from here.

it's really a shame that you didn't have as much time this round, but I'm still so impressed with what you were able to make!!! I LOVE the way you included Carver in the comic despite him hiding away from the other two the whole time. His power made him like a specter haunting Xiba and King. Also, I LOVE how both of them look in your style! Using them as a lesson about how dangerous they are while showing Carver's attempt to defeat them, and then at the end showing how he failed and that the lesson was a lecture in response to that failure... honestly brilliant storytelling to maximize that limited time frame! Very cool comic, and I'm so stoked for more of Carver in the future!!!

Raltz:

This was a fun comic to read! I enjoyed the format/style changes and chuckled here and there at the comedy bits.

Badger:

The character dialogue is so good, I love the paneling, and expressions. Page 4 was so delicious with the blood strings and composition. I’ll be the first to say here that page 8 panel 2? *Tucks hair behind ear.* Love it.

Doe:

From the very first page I was going SHEESH. The amount of work, detailing, and even colors in the timeframe given is deserving of praise. I fucking love the energy you gave Carver, the display of Xiba’s power, King’s character, the combat/action, and pacing. This comic was a delight to read.

I honestly don’t have any critique to give. Well done!
