Excellent battle, you guys really out did yourselves. Angie: You continue to improve. Just keep working on what you are working on. The only thing I can think of is that you should watch out on the textures, it works great on metal and stone but not as well on organic stuff like trees. Foo: I know you were busy with other work and couldn't do as much as you wanted on this one and I don't blame you, I've had to skimp on stuff because of school and such. Your figures are spot on. Be careful of the textures on backgrounds like the bricks in that first panel, they look a little plasticky or the grass on 4 which just looks like trees stuck in green sludge. As for the photo backgrounds... Bad Foo! Thats just lazy, they look especially bad when mixed in with the regular art. The photo backgrounds caused me to take off a point in quality especially considering the amount of effort Angie put into hers. As for the story and presentation: One half of the battle is more plot and character development and the other is action. I think each should be judged on its own merits and it makes me angry when I read people saying one part is better just because of the action. Angie did an amazing job showing her character's personality and her interaction with Foo. Page 11 really stands out. Foo had great action, discounting the distracting backgrounds, it really flows well.

This battle does not deserve to be ended in a draw. There is quality being tossed in many different areas, both different and both stand out on their own. I have nothing to say critique wise today. Great job to the both of you and Good luck.

nice work both you guys. FINALLY got to read it. lightbox wouldn't completely load the images before it showed them & it doesn't give you a way to refresh. ANYWAY. i think i gave angie a bit more on the quality & creativity side. while foo's characters were really nice, the line tool & photo backgrounds kinda took me out of it. while the perspective in angie's big city shot was skewed a little, she gave it a go. that & the 'hunt for nova' thing was a pretty sweet idea. a good ploy to get people to go back through & reread it too haha and while i don't like the whole linked battle thing, it worked alright here as you each progressed your character's story arcs. nice work. -J

i have seen all i can see. you two have blown my mind. but my true oppinion is that angie has putten in the most effort by making 15 pages in her time. and for foO i am also impressed from all the creativity you have put into your 7 pages. so i cant wait for the continued part of the story. maybe i can help someday, when i get a character in.^^;

Hey guys, Great collaborative comics, they were relatively professional story lines as well the quality of the work. I enjoyed the level of suspense provided from each comics. Overall both comics provided a good flow, as well the dialog was well distributive and concise. This might be quite tough voting.

I dunno, I may have to agree that this is the best collab effort ever. Both of you recieved 9's from me on the art quality. It's just insane what you guys do. And honestly I didn't notice the BGs on Foo's side. I was engrossed in the action. Angie, you did a great job with the storyline. And Foo, you did a great job with the action. Together it was an excellent and complete story. I actually wish MORE people did their battles this way. Of course that's not possible when people want to battle each other but it's awesome for a fight when they team up like you two did. I ended giving equal marks overall so I really don't know who's going to win this but either way I won't be shocked.

Kon, you're talking to someone who loves Honey&Clover, Beck, Nana, etc. haha I have always felt that you don't need action to do a good comic and some of my favorite comics are slice of life and heavily rely on character interaction so I'll have to disagree that lack of action=bad. This was my first battle on Void that didn't heavily rely on action to move it along so it was nice to take a breather from it and to try to focus on my writing. (obviously there was the BB but that's not a battle) Physic, well I'm always working on my anatomy and I do feel that it's improved. Obviously it's not perfect but I felt it was a pretty big step up from my last comic. So it's something I'll still be working on in the future since it's always been a problem for me. CSIII, thanks haha I don't know if it's the best collab, surely there are better that happened before this but I appreciate it. I usually don't put myself down in a public setting especially not on Void since it looks like fishing for sympathy but you can't blame me for feeling like I'll lose against someone that actually gets paid to draw comics haha But honestly, it pushed me a lot harder and I really had to bring out my A game since moping around doesn't get anyone anywhere. I'm always open to helping people so if you ever have any questions about how to do things, just PM me and I'll help you out.

R.A. Southerland: oh yeah ! and im a marvel fanboy.. if it seemed too much like a marvel comic im flattered! :P It's good (maybe great) that you're flattered, but I really think it's actually detrimental to your choreo skills if you're trying to improve on it, especially when it comes to Marvelitis.

Im soooo sorry but i have to say that this is \"THE\" best comic colaoration that i have seen so far. Im still in awww at the over all story you two have produced. I seriously want this to be a draw, becouse i really don't want either of these two artist to lose this match. Foo: man i have to give it to you. when you create an action sequence, you bring it hardcore. right now you are on my top ten list of artist on void that i want to learn from and train under. excellent coloring. also i congratulate you on using photo backrounds to blend in with your own art. and major props on the fire. I think i will be studing that for a while. Angieness: I wish you didn't put down your work in your comments, becouse honestly i deeply envy your work. and at the same time it is so inspiring. evertime i look at your work i find myself spending almost an hour just gazing at your coloring, line work and perspective. so please, one day your going to have to teach me some of the things you have learned. so keep working hard, becouse i expect to see you in mainstream comix soon.

Actually on R.A.s end i take it back its not that the chrs dont seem to be in real space on their own, its that the backgrounds tend to seem to be in a different space, usually the drawn ones moreso than the photo manip ones. Problem with photo manip ones, is they dont seem to be consistent in where everything is in relation to the charachters, and what they contain.

I had a longer response but i lost and im too lazy to write it all, so ill do it fast. Angie: You ve improved a lot, but you need to apply that learning curve to basics like anatomy proportion locomotion and consistency. R.A.The figure work is very strong, but you need to work on making the space the figures operate in seem 3 dimensional, even if they arent any backgrounds at all, still should feel like a 3 d space, if you can get that on point then even if you use photos, hire a background artist, or do rough backgrounds, it will feel and look better I rated both of these really high, so while it might seem negative, thats just me saying what i think yall should improve on, and me being too lazy to retype the whole long drawn out version. Pretty excellent fight imo

Ahah, really good entry you two :> Okay so let's start with angie, Storywise it was pretty digged, angela is a pretty complicated character and she fits really well in this story, also I had never heard of Fooray (ahaha) and he was pretty cool. Maybe a bit too much chit chat, even if it was entertaining and funny (few little jokes are never bad.) BUT WHAT I LOVE IS BATTLE, I'M A BOY AFTER ALL, I WAN'T PLOT AND BATTLING. Only plot was there, and that's the main problem with shared comics, you never get everything you'd like to put in the comic. So I gave a best vote for Fooray but your score was pretty high too. BUT I REALLY ENJOYED IT, it was good, just not enough action. Fooray> IT WAS GOOD. NO REAL STORY, JUST BATTLE. Angie had already introduced the story so it was okay, the drawing was awesome and so was the coloring. I nearly gave one of the best vote ever here ahah.

yo.. me again.. reading peoples comments i really want to keep on battling to improve ... at first i wasnt sure if i was gonna do it again right away or wait until next year again.. but i really want to show people where i planned to go with this story.. its intended as a 4 battle storyline in this order this is a link to the promo lines http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs22/f/2007/324/b/a/FooRay_things_to_come_by_Fooray.jpg so mize would be next. i understand it was a let down to do the BG's how i did them.. and for the next one i promise to make more time available for the line art section instead of trying so hard to get it all colored in time thanks for viewing again and the comments have been very helpful. much love. -FoO-Diggy

you both rocked but this is my statement...\"CLIFFHANGER!\".. ok it wasn't that much of a shock but still. Ifelt angie's pacing to be a bit more subtle, and foo's pretty straight forward with the action... I defently feel that as a two parter this works out great... but stand alone comics I feel they lack strength. Great work overall.

You guys rocked the house on this one! Angie :- Quality: 9 Creativity: 7 Entertainment: 6 Foo :- Quality: 9 Creativity: 7 Entertainment: 8 Angie's pages looked so damn smooth, nice clear panels. But i felt the build up to the action was just a little slow for me. Foo's Pages looked so clean and crisp, my only criticism is Foo's brother looks like the old foo's design. other then that a mega performance from both competitors

Kotori, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it, Felle taught me how to do explosions right before the fight so I'm glad I pulled it off okay. And yeah, I figured Angie would be wanting to murder Foo for commenting on her weight so I made sure to include that in the bonus comics XD Punk Jax, I'm glad you enjoyed the story, since that's pretty much what I relied on in this comic I'm glad I pulled it off. Monday yeah, perspective is my Achilles's heel, hopefully this battle showed some improvement, that large city shot was especially difficult for me since it was a different shot than what I'm used to. I'll try to be better about my compositions in the future and I'll see what I can do about making my colors compliment my lineart.

Oooohh this is good, Foo's storyline monentum is picking up whilst angie's is already steaming on a full run. Angie: Yeah your interesting story and character backgrounds are whats taking it for this battle as it generates intrigue about her storyline. I liked also that this was almost self contained but then again had it been that entirely I would have seen some form of resolution in the end even if it then segued into Foo's battle. And yeah, as far as the whole color/line background thing goes, find some way for the colour to complement the lines. But on the subject of lines, try to find a way to make the most out of your subjects in space. I'm talking composition here, page 6 has many problems that I'd like to point out. For example, in the main city shot, there could be a lot less negative spaces in the middle of the street, and more variation in the people sizes so that whole plane wont look flat. The perspective lines don't seem to mesh towards a common vanishing point either, and when that happens rigidity and flatness occur and that will clash with your organic subjects. I suppose the main thing you should focus on is to make all the elements in the picture connect much like page 7 frames 1 and 2. Those tend to be the most successful in your use of space, and character/background relationship as opposed to tacked on flat figures on 6:1 where they still seem to be floating in space. Big frames are terrible mistresses cause of this. In any case I dont find much other problems- just vary up your colour details to make it dynamic and deep. Great story, Entertainment yay the art is actually putting up formidably against Foo just for its sheer ambitiousness. good job :u And Foo, seeing you battle at your full capacity is nice to see, your cliffhanger ended on a giddy note for what maybe a next set of good battles. The Photobackgrounds dont bother me at a cosmic level but its not making me care more for the current art either. Your characters also tend to just float in space simply because the backgrounds dont seem to match up with the characters on a lot of levels. Rigid lines, skewed perspective, I hardly see these people stand or occupy space except on page 4:1 where I almost notice a background or movement through space which is important in a lot of action comics. This detail is finicky but the explosion on that panel should have a more explosive suddenness to it rather than a settled dustcloud. Your body details are great as usual, and your pacing in fights is easy to flow with. But fortunately the only weaknesses in this battle are at a technical level. Other than that Entertainment and story is exceptional but the cliffhangers still feel unresolved.

Okay, reading both these comics makes me want to try so much harder. Angie- I don't care how much you think you can't beat Foo artistically, your backgrounds, story, and humor all attracted me more than his (no offense to Foo). But in such cases, you seem to do better when you're afraid of losing. Fight more frightening opponents. :D Loved the P2 joke and extra comics at the end, too. P2- Character art is amazing as always. Your amount of detail fits in perfectly with your style. You could have worked on your backgrounds a bit more. Other than that, you really have improved.

Aaah, I knew this fight was going to be great... Angie: Excellent work, per usual by now. I'm going to agree with Phill that sometimes your colors defeat all of the amazing work I've seen in your linework. Still, your colors are amazing and one of your great strengths. So finding a balance between the two should probably be your next goal. I think you still need a bit of work on your humans, esp on the anatomy and faces. But your expressions, esp on Angie, are so priceless... I loved them. Plot-wise, you had your usual good solid showing. I have to admit, Angie is FAR nicer than *I* am... Foo would have been bleeding after the baby-fat comment. XD Ouch, man. And yes, the explosion panel was wicked. Nice job, girly. (PS: That P2 panel made me giggle really hard at my desk. My coworkers looked at me funny.) Foo: Aaaah, your action and your character art are so fantastic, it makes me smile... and you draw Angie soooooo cute. /squee She's all fluffy and stuff... Anatomy-wise, you have Angie over the hedge. Your action and characters are fantastic... but I'm afraid you fell short with your BGs(ARGH, WTF?!) and writing. I know you love the classic comic, but I'm going to agree that Foo's sibblings were a bit too generic in their attitudes/dialog. I appriciated that it makes me think Foo's papa is one hard-assed dude, but I think there should have been more variation in the sibblings. Also, your text... You know, the ' key is not diseased... it won't bite your finger off... and it isn't a crime to use it. *whap* Also... pg 5. we're=/=were I think you kinda piled on too much text in a few panels that could have better been done spread out over more panels. I know you had time constraints... but still. Wish there could have been more. On the side: There is no reason why a two-parter should be hard to judge. The continuing storyline doesn't mean that both authors were equal in HOW they addressed it, what the panel layouts they used were, and how good or not their dialog writing was. I think people focus too much on the 'story is the same/continuining' instead of how the two addressed that. If a long-running series picks up a new writer mid-way through, people can often tell and will judge how they address the story. This can be looked at in the same way.

Foo, thanks dude, you're a very terrifying opponent and were definitely a huge motivation to give this battle my all I enjoyed your half a lot and loved how you drew Angie. Phill thanks, haha I actually did go overboard on the detail several times and when I colored it was like FUCK since it does suck to spend all that time only to get it covered up. I'll try and continue to work with my anatomy since I honestly struggled with it on this fight, especially when having to draw Foo. Your crit didn't bother me so no worries there dude! MadChaplain yeah, it's hard for me not to go overboard on the way people talk haha I've been trying to make it realistic to how people talk since a crit a lot of people used to give me was I wrote people too anime like, but I'll see what I can do to tone it down. Helftan thanks, what you said makes sense so don't worry. As an animator I know better but I still have a hard time being too realistic so I'll see how I can push that in the future. I may try doing something like the cover of this battle on my next battle. Thanks for reading guys, I'm glad you all enjoyed it! This battle had me super nervous since I knew I couldn't beat Foo artistically so I did what I could to push my writing so I'm glad that you guys enjoyed the story.

Angie you should really make that comic in the simplistic hard blacks from your cover it would be awesome,I enjoyed reading this one the dialog and random stuff in your battle worked pretty good especially the key chain scene.I loved how you drew the victim dude in the start the blood pool good stuff.This is a bit hard to explain in english but i think you should deviate more from reality go more expresionistic at times your pictures are amazing and to the point same thing with the colors but it is too constant and because it is so realistic you dont get surprised you know what everything will look like even before you see it Foo i did not care about the backgrounds i cared more about the colors like i said to Angie you need to forget what stuff look like in reality your style is set in stone and that is fine.but atleast try making the colors go a bit more crazy.Look at old pulp comics they do amazing things with colors.Example we know that all humans are made of fleash so there is no reason to allways color their skin in a skin tone.I am not saying this would work thou with you style but it could atleast be tried baah i hope this helps or atleast give some stuff to work with pleasant read

Angie: Great work with the plot. The motives, the means and the facilitators of Angie's on-going story are quite impressive, as well as interesting. Looking at your work now in comparison to your style with, say, our good friend Phill, shows a great deal of improvement. I commend you for that. The dialogue was nice, although a little heavy on the street lingo: I would've lightened up on that just a little. Give a hint of the dialect, and readers can often fill in how the speaker'd really sound. Other than that, my only request is: follow Foo's example- more fire in more places. But 17 pages, wow. AmbitiousAngie is ambitious. Foo- Awesome job! I love your style, it's pretty impressive, and your character design is sublime. Yet, I personally found Foo's siblings to play far too well into the villain-on-a-leash archetype. They're \"total badasses who don't give a shit about anyone or anything, but still follow captains/father's/Darth Sidious's plans to a tee\". I'd try to improve or flesh out their personalities in future endeavours, just so they don't seem like campy underling-villains. Other than that, totally rad, man.

I'm pretty much a lurker round here, so I'll keep it short Angie: You've improved so much in such a short space of time. Over all the art was consistant, there was a few minor anatomy flaws (mainly on the hands) but it's nothing you can't fix. The dialogue worked well for the most of it. Fooray: Photobackgrounds are a no no in my book, I'm guessing you might not have had time though to draw them up yourself? I could be wrong though. Your anatomy is top notch and you know how to draw those action scenes, the dialogue between the characters was just a little bit too like a stereotypical marvel comic but this just could be preference on my part! All in all you both did an awesome job :D

My vote's been spread just about even, and with that i'll (try to) be blunt with both entries. Besides the minor anomalies with anatomy, Angie won my vote because i felt that the script was better-written. In contrast, Foo's quality was technically better, but unfortunately that aspect was offset by Marvelitis that was apparent by a few things i noticed: - Toni and Sierra both acted like archetypal villains, right down to their body language, and how Toni lunged at Foo. If that was the way they both are, you'd think that they'd act a bit more like assholes and not like Magneto's followers or something. - The amount of conversation that happened during the fight i thought was a bit... I dunno, awkward. I've never seen any kind of crowd regardless of their capabilities kinghit each other in the face and perfecly complete long-winded sentences at the same time, unless said characters would be like \"yaddayaddayadda--UNGH\", which... i think wouldn't help much either. - OH NOEZ HIGH-PRESSURE ELEMENTAL JET STREAMS!!!11 WHATEVER HAPPENED TO RAINING FROGS ON FIRE ZOMG So now that i think about it, it's the choreography issues that offset Foo's entry.

Alright, before anybody hops onto my back about me commenting, me and heather are already in agreement that we're cool with each other commenting on each others battles, if I say anything that pisses her off, she'll deal with it, alright? Heather: Not bad, coloring alone really sets you above everybody else here. Out of the two comics this one artistically has my vote due to actually having drawn backgrounds. But here's the thing though, why go through the trouble of having those uber detailed backgrounds if the color is just gonna wash it out in the end? Without colors page 6 without colors is just Dynamite! With it though it kinda gets drowned out and the neon signs draw all the attention to detail away for me. Your coloring is excellent, and even though there are spots with a lot of negative space in the linework, you still have some gorgeous details going on. But if the color erases more than half of those details, it kinda seems like a waste in the end doesn't it? Why not try an approach to colored backgrounds the way James does it, but while using a limited color pallet like that of Dawg's comics? Your figures are looking way better, especially on the masked men now that you're drawing the jawbones and features of the head that show, story is pretty good, but I still got some issues with joined battles honestly. Fooray: First off man, those backgrounds... as galvo would say: NO BUENO! Photo backgrounds just seem too cheap for my tastes man, major props for some amazing character linework/anatomy/colors, but seeing those pictures for your backgrounds really killed it for me and I'm sorry to say, but I think you could of done something else instead of that. Story is pretty much the same as heather's, not a fan of joined storylines since this is technically a contest, but I'm not really against the story here in particular. Just kinda wanted to see more ya know? Overall it was pretty good, Heather: keep working on those backgrounds and try mixing it up in the future, Foo: No more of those photobackgrounds. Vote goes to heather.

angie, yur side of the battle was amazing like i expected.. a few surprises from what i read originally but i dug it.. like how you moved the characters to the location with out seeming to contrived.. the explosion came out SUPER pimp.. youll have to teach me that :P.. dimension: yeah i know the BG's were a bit lack luster. but its what i had time for. angie knows how busy i was and i was just happy to have been able to battle at all with how my schedules been.. but i tried to keep the character quality up and the coloring ( which ive never colored a whole battle before ) and what little i colored in the last one i hope shows some improvement in these pages.. Jack i know how ya feel about it.. and im not sayin yur wrong.. its just what i came out with.. id hope you can view the comic for what it is. and know that a lot of work went into it despite the weak sauce BG's hope everyone digs.. it was fun for me to finally get to do something for fun again. thanks for viewing ^_^

Wow, this was all pretty amazing :0 @angie: I really liked the colors you used for this battle the lighting and everything looked very nice. On the 4th page the characters on the last panel looked like they were leaning a little too much; I think it would help you out if you flip the image horizontal in photoshop (or whatever program you use) and it will be easier to spot some anatomical errors and fix them as well as notice if they're are leaning too much to the side or not. I am really impressed with how you pulled off your side of the battle. Normally when there's a lot of dialogue in a comic, I think it can be hard to keep the reader entertained (at least for me it is) I was actually pretty entertained all throughout your comic so...Well done :) oh, and that \"Nova the novel\" had me laughing x3 @Foo: Man your character art is amazing dude! :D but... those backgrounds weren't so much, sorry to say. ;-; And some of the action was also a bit confusing like page 4 first panel, the way Fooray is being punched and then flying back looks odd. Other than that I have no problems at all with your side of the battle. really nice colors as well~ awesome job guys!

Yeah, I just really wanted to do something without action and it could have been shorter, but I was trying not to totally screw up the pacing like I did on my Girl fight. There was a lot of information to lay out and I probably could have condensed it better. And yeah, perspective is forever my weakness, but I'm slowly but surely trying to get the hang of it. And Jack, you're right, I'm pretty bad about messing up the anatomy on the masked men. On this one I tried to draw the faces first and draw the mask on top but it didn't always work out obviously. Glad you enjoyed it! This battle really has me nervous since it'll probably be my first loss haha But damn if I didn't try my hardest

I found foos a lot more entertaining, but it must be hard doing a long conversation battle. I think maybe there was a bit too much small talk stuff. Maybe it would've all worked smoother if it was shorter angie. And (nit picking) I think the panel in page 12 looks off perspective wise i think. But the colouring was great of course and I liked the first pages and the last pages a lot where the explosion happened. And when I read the find nova thing it got me excited. I didn't even notice they were photos on the first read, but i noticed how the characters didn't really fit in with the backgrounds at all. Still though, the characters themselves were amazing! That's nice fighting there.

Angie, conversation comics are always rough, and at this length even moreso. The character at the beginning was really interesting and I'm actually pretty excited to see more of him. You did a great job setting up some suspense for the explosion at the end. My only issues are that as always your masks seem to be flattening out the wearers' faces, and your backgrounds in some panels need a little more balance in the details.But seriously, those colours were so intense and dramatic and really made the battle for me, and the storytelling was pretty damn impressive. Foo, that photo background shit is really fucked up. Especially seeing as how weak the backgrounds you actually drew were.

I'm sure Foo's good for it, but if he defaults I'll never forgive him. Ever. ;_; Even if my internet dies, I'm keeping 3 copies of every page backed up and can take my laptop to work and leech wifi so unless I die, I won't be defaulting either
