I think the biggest difference between this character and ones mentioned is that this one is, based on what's presented so far, completely one dimensional. I don't see the appeal in battling a character like this, personally. it feels like you're trying to be "edgy" and whatever. I recall the incubator post, kinda wish there had been some change. anyway, aside from the controversial stuff, the art in this needs a lot of work. those two panels with stairs stick out especially, please use a ruler! a lot of the lines on inorganic objects look sketchy, like you went over them a bunch. work on doing a single, solid line instead. and despite picking a more limited palette, I don't think it's as unified as it could be.

Angie: One thing to remember is rape comics have happened on Void before, so I'm not quite sure why it's suddenly an issue. (Hiemie and I did a whole comic about it).And I'd just like to point out that that comic was infinitely more disturbing than this comic is, which is part of why I felt to make the comparison. Suit comics, especially the one against Angie, left me feeling almost like I had been the victim, which left an intense emotional impact. Also, you get in Suit's mind way more than you want to (just look at the history he explains about his first time when he's getting ready to rape Angela and you'll see what I mean). With this comic, however, I don't feel a very strong connection to either of the characters involved. I think there's a lot you can do with this character as you develop his personality more and also get into the minds of his victims more. It's a scary subject, but sometimes it's important to understand how these kinds of people work so we can scrutinize our own desires and motives, as well as understanding how to possibly help others (here I am trying to create a moral to the story hahah).

Angie: One thing to remember is rape comics have happened on Void before, so I'm not quite sure why it's suddenly an issue. (Hiemie and I did a whole comic about it) We will never decline a person for what their character does as long as they're not treading on copyright territory. (or could get us in serious trouble, like a child molester character) It's okay to be offended and have a strong opinion about a despicable character. I'm just confused about why no one ever cared about all the crazy evil murderers, but suddenly a rapist is drawing the line, when the act of rape and murder are both equally horrible. I support freedom of expression through art, so if someone wants to tackle the subject or murderers or rapists or disturbed people, I think they should do it. This kind of character should prove to be an interesting challenge for Wolcik and will help him grow as an artist. I am fascinated by characters like this, so I look forward to seeing where he goes with this. Couldn't of said it better myself. Looking forward to seeing this guy battling.

I honestly feel that the comic is done well, as in from the perspective of the character - page 3 does glorify the act in a sense, but how else would a despicable rapist view this scene? It's horrifying to any individual because we -do not- want to be in this mindset, that's why it is uncomfortable (and if it wasn't then he wouldn't be very good at his "job"). I do hope, however, that the character name of 'bloody rapist' indicates well enough the subject matter that will be contained in these comics, and acts as a trigger warning. Of course there are boundaries outlined on the site, so I trust the character will not get too out of hand. allowing comics about horrible things happening to fictitious characters is far from endorsing the act itself. About the comic itself, I feel like the artwork is definitely a step up from the usual from you, Wolcik, just be careful with panels like the last one on page 1. She's looked very crooked in comparison to her surroundings. I really like the little hints that are thrown in there, and that he has a list. These aren't seemingly random (although I doubt he would pass up an opportunity, he has motives AND goals). Sounds like this goes back quite a while, and somewhat like revenge. I am intrigued, and looking forward to the way you characterize him in future comics.

This is just four pages, and something I figured after being here for so long is that the intro story doesn't really give off the potential of the character. I think the character should be determined after a few battles. The color scheme of this thing is really great, especially considering the mood of the story. However, some key things, such as the ghastly arms and the blood would have been better off emphasized more, so that the reader can understand the importance/emphasis of the story. When I brisked through it for the first time, the arms looked like gloves and the blood looked like spilled soda or something. Even if it's a limited palate, you should still figure out what colors/shades work best to emphasize the subject. Or you can redraw/change the shape/lines to emphasize the object more too.

Monday: Oh good. A proper villain. I have to cosign with this. Because everyone hates this character so much that they want to do the worse things to them, you've just made a successful Void character. Everyone should battle and take out their anger, frustration, and so forth on this character. I mean I understand the sensitivity toward the topic, some of you have experiences related to it and sometimes the people that partake in it get away. So why not allow a character exist in a fantasy setting where you're allowed to take him and do whatever you (both the owner and the community) want to do with him? Whether that be formally in battles or in your own shit that doesnt have to involve wolcik, directly.

Thanks !

Oh good. A proper villain.

It made me absoluteley fucking disgusted and I felt sick. Which I suppose is deserving of compliment in provoking such a reaction in me. I commend that. But now I want to have a scar battle with you and chop his dick off. That would make for an interesting twist in character if I won!

This is a very sensitive topic; and I can only advise that you tread carefully. The main issue I have is the representation of the rape. The woman is posed and stripped in a sexual manner, which is countenance to the brutal crime it is. Naming the character "Bloody Rapist" when "Creepy Jimmy" also appears to be stirring the pot for the sake of it. I'd much rather have seen you respond to those criticisms as these are virtually unchanged from when you last edited it last year. There is certainly a lot of story potential here, I would like to battle him myself, but tread carefully.

I know that this character is up in your face with the name and all, but I think that the part that makes you uncomfortable with him the most is that he got away with this, and it wasn't the first time - it's not only a horrifying thing, but it also went on unpunished. Also I'd wanted to add some male names on the list he has, but it might have been unclear.

I don't really have anything to say about the character and writing that people haven't already, so I'm just gonna focus on the art. You need more confidence in your lines. I can pretty easily tell where you use short, repeated strokes, and it makes your linework feel quick and rushed. The same goes for your backgrounds. While yes, you've got plenty in them, but it doesn't look like you took the time to actually make them look nice, and instead just tried to get them done. You've got uneven and bending lines where it feels like they should be straight, and a lot of your perspective doesn't line up, like the windows in the first panel. Also, the shot with the woman in the last panel of page 1 is confusing to me. It looks like she's in some MC Escher drawing where she's trying to lay down on the stairs. It looks less like a top down view, and more like she stayed in place while the background turned. This is an improvement from your previous work, but you've still got some things you need to work on. I'm a little cautious about how you'll handle this character, but if you can find a way to make him compelling, I'd like to see it.

Well if anything you've certainly got a popular character now.

Art wise I see this as a marked improvement with some interesting color choice and unique angles. Storywise...I think it goes without saying that BR's actions are indefensible and horrifying, but its clear to me that there is a reason. I'm actually glad you didn't explain anything further, that little bit ("It's like you used to say") is enough to make me wonder about the girl in his past that may have sparked this psychosis. Bobo made a good comparison to Suit--another reprehensible character that nevertheless inspired some interesting stories. I think next time you could try to keep the horror and tension of the character and not be quite as salacious--in this intro, for example, the story would have been just as dark without Page 3, and we still would've understood what went on.

I don't feel comfortable with this character at all. It feels like it is glorifying an horrific and awful crime - and while I'm all up for a good old fashioned villain, I think the way in which the woman is posed so provocatively, combined with the nonchalance over mentioning rape in the character description shows a dangerous disregard for women. It is just perpetuating the ideas that women are things either to be saved or raped. I'm very surprised this got past the moderators.

Okay, first of all, I hope nobody takes this personally. Especially you, Wolcik, but I feel like there are some things that should be said. You said you wanted your character to be an anti-hero, which is fair enough, I am all for the anti hero and the villain that does horrific things. What bothers me about this is the way in which you have presented it. This comic seems to glorify his actions; the woman is displayed to the audience in a rather... 'tantalizing' manner, which was disgustingly uncomfortable to look at, considering what horrors it is implied that she is about to endure. I also cannot shake the feeling that something like this is potentially triggering to some very unfortunate people, which makes me feel physically sick to think of. This does not make me hate the character, this makes me feel ashamed that nobody has pointed this out to you sooner. I hope that if you continue in this vein you find a more classy way of displaying your villains actions. My personal opinion is that unless you have some enlightening insight and excellent character development later on, it may be wise stay away from such a sensitive, raw subject.

Wolcik, once I get back on using Gigara, let's talk about a match~

So... I can't help but compare this character to Hiemie's Suit, who is also really creepy and terrible, but also a little more interesting to read. Right now, I still don't have any idea about what makes this character go, or what his motivations are. If I were to write a comic with him in it, all I would have to go off of is that he rapes women and then kills them. I have trouble with a rapist character mostly because of how horrifying such a thing is, but I think you could use it to develop some interesting insights and maybe explore what makes people do such horrible things. The writing in this comic at the end left me kind of confused, and I don't think it's just because you're writing in English instead of Polish. You give little hints that there's something going on in this character's mind that makes him a little crazy, but I don't quite understand it. Maybe that was intentional, though. Maybe you left things unresolved on purpose so we would want to know what happens next. I just hope you're careful with this character, because he has potential to be interesting and terrible or just plain terrible.

I have mixed feelings about him. One the one hard the art is actually pretty good, the pacing, the storytelling, and the dialogue gives just a bit of insight into him. Its a decent if horrific intro. On the other hand I hate this fuckin' guy. Which I'm probably supposed to? Its like some of me wants to fight him just to smash the ever-loving bejesus out of him (and I know hes mostly a scar match/death match guy), and some of me wants to pretend he doesn't exist. If he was supposed to illicit these feelings in me, well good job I guess. I'm still not sure how to critique this. I'm sure somebody more articulate than I will have a better response.
