geeps gotta be careful with how you resize and save files cause the lines looked a bit jagged. nothing, work on your linewidths a bit more cause having the same linewidthe for everything can be a bit of a turn off

Both really great comics! I loved the personality in Geeps' comic, and the color scheme of Kichi's was really nice. I also enjoyed seeing Beo's plot thicken a bit... Just keep drawing, both of you! Geeps, you have some consistency issues with your character modeling proportions and stuff, and Kichi, you could give your opponent a little more depth in the future. But great battle overall, both of you!

GPS - Keep drawing comics like this and you're sure to be amazing at hands. You didn't shirk away from them for even a second. Your hands can get a little mushy sometimes, try developing a short hand to get the shape and proportions down before you start fleshing them out. It's easier to quickly knock out some boxes than the stupidly subtle meat of the hand. Don't shy away from using references either, either your own hand or like google/deviantart. In the very first panel you extend the line of the fingers past the knuckles, which looks super awkward, and just one reference would've kept that from happening. It's a great short comic dude, there's no waste and you get right to point in a way that feels totally natural. Just by the end of two pages I felt like I knew this characters and their relationship pretty well. Nothin - This is really clean, consistent work. I think in some places your line quality gets a little uniform, like it's just one thick line that gets some variance at the ends, but after reading Zetsubou-Kura's comment that could've just been because you were rushed. It's a little hard for me to find much to critique about the art, because it feels super confident. I wasn't grabbed too much by the story. If you wanted to portray this as some sort of breaking point for a harried Beo, I think you could've illustrated that better. You mention in previous comics that he's afraid of the rabbit, and that he hasn't really been sleeping. Making either of these facts more visually apparent would've made it feel more natural when he snaps.

GPS: I don't think it's a crime to shave off the sides of word bubbles, I personally think it helps maintain the natural reading order of the panels. Page two in particular, my eye desperately wanted to read the panel 4 directly after reading panel 2 because the bubbles were so close to each other. Kichi: I'm still shocked that you did all the inking and flats in one night. I guess my only nitpick is that page 4's takedown could use a bit more impact: dirt kicking up, a better impact flash, i dunno. It just seems like G-howl just gently pinned him down on the floor there.

GPS- I like the short and sweet approach. the weakest part of the comic is the artwork though. right off the bat, very first panel- dem hands, man. howling's in particular, it looks like the index is the longest, and they get progressively shorter. you need to find a way to make your characters stick out more from the environment too, with the b/w scheme and similar line widths, everything looks pretty flattened. nothin- good effort it looks like, for a week battle! everything is clean and consistant. I found myself less engaged though, because of the mystery bunny and just.. seemingly random attack. the struggle between the two could have been played up more as well I think. overall though, not bad.

GPS, I really liked this! The story is simple, the jokes are good, the pace works, and the style fits it all very well. I love how Beo looks in the first panel of page2. One thing though is that your panel can feel cluttered, and it's not because of the detail, of which you've got an alright amount, though some of the really white spaces really kinda jar out to me, but just a compistion and line thing. Think a bit more at how you want the reader's eye to go around and use some smart line width. In here, the doors are particularly annoying I find. For example, in the second panel, the door frame is a big black mass that attracts attention, especially since it's in the middle, and over Beo and it's edges meet with the intersection of Beo and Mammon (who looks exactly the same by the way, watch out for that) and the intersection between Greg's face and hand. (those tangent things we keep hearing about lately) If the door frame wasn't this big black mass, it would already be much better, but now, with the equal line width of the background, it really contibutes to messing up the composition. You could also have moved it a bit to the left, to make the flow more continuous from one end of the panel to the next. You need to find a better inbalance between your foreground and background. What is up with that rabbit indeed? I have mixed feeling about it. One the one hand, it's really cute and I am a big fan of demonic forces turning a character towards evil, on the other hand, I don't feel much from this introduction of the concept. As in, I feel like it was really easy for the rabbit and there is no hints of anything grander than it involved and it's a bit shallow and seems like not much of a smart little critter for now, and it's kind of coming out of nowhere. Then again, I'll have to wait and see how you play it and I totally hope you pull it off well. I know this was a one week, but those trees are just SO bland... it's really not that hard adding a bit of tree texture, and it keeps things from being all made of cardboard. Just a few barky squigly lines would make me happy, really. Yo did that with the ground and it works. And I think the story could have been told more efficiently. One of the reasons why I find the bunny creature to not be fully working is that it keeps taking these full panels to say one word. One. For example, I feel like the four first panels of page 2 could have easily be made into one or two while improving the pace. Little things like that. I also think he pays in that eye socket for a bit too long, but who am I to say no to a fair bit of gore? Overall, this is far from a bad one-week comic, but I feel like something is lacking in the execution. I think I gave the edge to GPS here, for having a fully fnctional and efficient comic. It's short, bt nothing wrong with short, he didn't spread himself and it's an intelligent use of a short deadline. Good showing from the both of you.

GPS: I am very impressed that you were able to make such a rich and entertaining comic in just two pages. And a creative and funny scar to boot. Keep it up! Nothin: interesting development with the rabbit thing, but I feel that the climax is too abrupt and as a result kind of anticlimactic. Didn't expect to see an all out brawl, but a bit more of a thrashing would have been nice, even after he takes the eyeball. I like the black/white/red color scheme you went with, and the characterization of Beo in the various panels. There's a bit of a lack of movement in the action/chase scenes though that slow them down and gives them less of a sense of urgency. Hope to see more good stuff from y'all in the future~

Okay so! GPS, short but sweet, I actually like how in just two pages you build up a camaraderie between the three characters and deliver Beo's scar in a fairly believable way! I guess I wish it was a little longer but considering the time limit I think it came out great! kichi, OWCH! an entire eye! XD that mad laugh at the end though, thats what I want to see more about! I like the simple style choice, nice and clean, but I guess I am confused by the rabbit. so... whats up with the rabbit? anyhow, great expressions, good pacing, it was a nice fight! Great job you guys! I was very excited to read these and you did not disappoint!
