Hey Coatl! Nice to see you battlin'. Time management is a tough skill to wrangle. The first comic is always a huge learning experience, huh? I'm glad you posted on time, but yeah-- those messy pencil lines hurt. I thought the concept was great, I loved your interpretation of Mr Awesome, and Sonny's enthusiasm was delightful. Can't wait to see Sonny in the ring again.

Yeah thanks for the advice, I'm planning to invest in a lightbox as soon as they have a sale at my local art store which is the end of this month. My next battle will have a 3 week deadline, I'll do that simply cause I thought I was going to finish but those last two pages (my weakest ones in my opinion) were super rushed.

Great job yo...I'm going to echo Angie. Your work would be much more solid if not for the distracting dirtiness of it. I docked you on quality for that. A solution for myself has been the use of the lightbox...It has eliminated 99% of all artifacts in my scans since there's no pencil to erase...there's no stray pencil lines that show up...granted lightboxing doesn't work for everybody. I know some people who use electric erasers to clean up work...or just a vigilant eye and some photoshop... Your choice of framing your shots is a bit on the safe side (a lot of straight on or direct profile shots 3/4 or close ups..) I'd vary a bit more birds eye, worms eye, etc. I'd also work on your BGs they seem empty. I really like your drawing style and your story telling and I've always been a fan of the ethereal narrator (ie the notes...the self deprecation of ones own work "Where He GO!!?" LAWL) ala Scott Pilgrim/WonTon soup...etc... extremely great first effort

Nice first showing! You're still having some problems with cleanup that I brought up in your character submission. Your style looks very clean so to have random pencil lines and dirt kind of kills the presentation. Others have already touched on the anatomy and backgrounds so I won't really go in depth into that. I think one of the biggest things is you really just need more drawing time. 2 weeks is a deadline I couldn't manage and I've been on the site for years, so I know a new person should definitely test the waters with a long deadline first until they know they can handle a shorter deadline.

Sorry again for the mix up. As this battle will become BB I need to finish it more, add some more backgrounds and better colors isntead of posting what I have. I was really angry and sad when I find out, but I guess this sort of thing is suppose to happen when you wait with upload till the deadline. Coatl - I like your plot - it's simple, but neat. I accept the simplicity, but sometimes Awesome's proportion makes him look shorter than he is - 7'0".

Yeah what he said. Practice those things and some more anatomy stuff. Your guy seems fine but Mr. Awesome suffered especially from his midsection down. Page 2 was my favorite though. I loved his reaction upon realizing he had met a superhero. Unto the next battle!

Wolcik: Fuck!! I defaulted... I misscaluculated the deadline - I have the pages done, but I didn't send them Oo FUCK! Oh yeah and that shit did trip me out too, I thought it was due today.

Wolcik: Fuck!! I defaulted... I misscaluculated the deadline - I have the pages done, but I didn't send them Oo FUCK! Shit, you know, it's all good. My shit wasn't drawn so well anyway. Like I was ill-prepared and didn't clean up and hopefully we can do another match later.

Wolcik: Fuck!! I defaulted... I misscaluculated the deadline - I have the pages done, but I didn't send them Oo FUCK! Not the end of the world, mate. I look forward to seeing it as a BB when voting is finished on this.

Fuck!! I defaulted... I misscaluculated the deadline - I have the pages done, but I didn't send them Oo FUCK!

gah, I rushed it! >_____< !!!!

patience goes a long way! lol

hurry up I am waiting to see this match up looking forward to it

Wolcik: All pages scanned and now wait for photoshop to make them shine XD Week to go and I only made a script and scanned the pages ooh shit, I better finish my inks and get on it!

After re-reading my old battles I notice that I tend to not finish them as well as I could. I'll spend some more time on this one just to see how much diffrence that will give - maybe one of my battles will be good enough to show on a job intervew some day. All pages scanned and now wait for photoshop to make them shine XD Week to go and I only made a script and scanned the pages - Wow, I suck XD

[quote]BTW. Coatl, Good luck. I know that Bob can be hard to draw with all his scars XD I's all good, he became fun to draw so hopefully it'd be fun to read for everyone.

Thanks a lot. I don't want to hype, but I try not to fuck up XD Plot is decided and I asked people what they think and it might come up as funny for some. It's up to my art to decide how good will it work out ;) Fern - Yes, his hair is longer now since he grew 50 years old this year - needed a change XD BTW. Coatl, Good luck. I know that Bob can be hard to draw with all his scars XD

I can't say how much I am looking forward to more Mr Awesome madness!!! Is it just me or is his hair a it longer now on the design sheet? Coatl - good luck with your first battle!

Good luck dudes!

I'm not gonna lie, it was some what hard planning out a story between a dude with a robot arm and superman. lol But after churning out multiple thumbnails, I think I'll have something entertaining for you guys.

Break a leg, Wolcik.

Spoiler Warrning - this is another in between scars battle for Awesome - at least I want it to be.

Throw down mighty kids. Good luck Coatl.
