Mokuu: so it seems that I need to finish my story faster than I thought :) Unfortunetly I don't think I'll be able to color it as good as aribooboo :(

I dunno, kinda hated how you portrayed Worltex, friendly smiling shaman who doesn't just fire blast you when cheat him over. Look at his back story and checkout the character's attitude. Its hard to imagine him giving a damn about Marcelo pulling off pranks unless its on him directly. Last but not least, what does Marcelo gain from this experience, what consequences, what will he remember from it? Nothing, the character doesn't seem to grow from this encounter. That doesn't make me look forward to the next encounter he gets. Anyway, the more you work on storytelling and character development, the faster Marcelo becomes an interesting character and the crazier his encounters with other great characters become.

yeah, backgrounds weren't too hot, especially the buildings in page 2. The windows are too random, they're not even the same size, or lined up either. If you're having trouble drawing buildings, perhaps find some photos, and draw a bunch of them as practice. Another thing I noticed is, even though it's snowing throughout the comic, there are only isolated piles of snow on the ground. Details! There should be more on the sidewalks, tops of buildings and such. I didn't care for the falling snow itself, though... It felt like a distraction and somewhat random.. Little flakes of white stuff floating in front of faces making me want to flick it away. The snowflakes should be draw with at least as much care and precision as everything else, otherwise it feels like an afterthought. The lineart is pretty uniform, it could make the art pop more to have variation in lines.. I guess that's all I have to say, I hope this helps you a bit. :>

yeah, i agree with you Phillip XD the number of page and panels even felt short for ME. i DID rush this, and i was just thinking \"ugh, let me do this as fast as possible\" and i regret that =\\ and yes, Natalia, the girl, is Marcelo's friend or \"home girl\" and future girl friend. i wasn't sure how to introduce her and i think i should have saved her intro for later... AAAAAND...i did realize that when i was putting in the speach bubbles, there was times where there was no decent place to put them, so i'll remember to leave room next time =3 thanks, you can make sure i'm NOT gonna do any of that again! =]

Eh, don't worry too much about it Wolcik, it happens to the best of us, just finish up what you had soon and do your best. Aribooboo: Well, you pretty much already know about the backgrounds, but as average as they are, I think you could step up the quality on them in your future battles/comics. Aside from that, the anatomy looked good, but there were a few awkward moments with the body anatomy of Worltex and others (Why does everybody look like they have the same face and facial structure?). With the story, I think you could of benefited from having a few more panels and pages, for example: One panel Marcello is kicking down Worltex's snowman, but in the next he's stealing the head while his hand is shown reaching forward to grab him. But in the next panel it looks like nothing had happened and Worltex somehow failed to grab him. Also, why did the girl whom he was oggling just suddenly appear next to Marcello's side? Is she a friend? Why did she suddenly appear? I've never seen her before in your other comics until now. Seriously dude, if you're going to introduce an NPC, at least give her some introduction aside from having the reader look at her breasts and suddenly appear just to say \"Hi, I'm advancing the plot! Oh, and I'm apparently a friend of the main character.\" Last major gripe from this asshole on story, why did the story end so suddenly? I was honestly into reading this story (despite how I sound right now, you did a good job with the story) only to just have it end so abruptly. Give you readers MOAR! Coloring was very nice, though I think you could of benefited from having more time, also you gotta be careful where you place word balloons, half the time I accidentally skipped over a line of text from another character while hopping into another panel. Anywho, Overall this was a decent effort. Look forward to what you have next time.

I'm really sorry, and ashamed that I'll default once again :( Like in each default there are excusess - mine are work, hollidays and lack of time... even now I won't see aribooboo's comics for next few days because I'm leaving contry for few days. I have lines, but I don't want to ruin the story by uploading half of unfinished battle... so I add this to my homework as beyond battle once I have some free time - and I will have it very soon. I feel foolish for picking a fight before I finished my work, and I knew I'd do that.

uploaded! but damn, someone needs to kill me for doing such a shit job on the background this time ( even more than normal D: ) i just wasn't feeling the excitment for this one for some reason...and it's not cuz of your character, Wolcik, but i think i've been too worried and paranoid of other things to really focus. But there's no excuse =3 i've gotta start working on a better comic to make up for the shitty job >_> i feel bad now XD

\"Snow Fight\" that's the title I'll give to this fight... It should be about 10 pages like the last one... I hope to color this, but so far I don't have too much inspiration to draw or ink :( Let's hope I'll get plenty of time on Christmass XD
