Thank you everyone for your suggestions and votes. And Julz it was great battling with you :). Pocky- I think I know which panels you're talking about, more variety next time so ;). Pyras- The badge thing was something I just thought would be fun if she earned a badge for something each battle. Puzzlething- I understand where you're coming from with the perspective, I definitely try putting the horizon line down first thanks :). Bobo- Thank you for the compliments! I'll try to be less cliche >< I need to working on my writing. Cold- I agree Julz's version of Vinda was much truer to her character and very much how I pictured her myself, I'm afraid I censored and influenced her too much, next time I'll just let her bad-ass- ness loose >

Julz-you can copy a palate, you can follow it, and you can always interpret it :] Actually I never thought of taking a color palate online...I should try that one day when I decide I actually want to make a full color comic. Your explanation makes much more sense, and that might have made your score rating a little higher, but it's too late :P

Ahh sorry for the panel confusion. There wasn't really a better way in panel 2 page 4 to show she was removing the syringe from her arm without rearranging everything to add more panels for clarification. I wanted to try to give it a sound effect to show its being removed, but I didn't want it to seem like it was being stabbed in, so I stayed with this. I'm glad you guys like the color scheme! I went with a palette I found on tumblr but I feel like I strayed away from it sometimes. Pyras: And the last panel of page 4, I didn't think about that XD All it takes is a second pair of eyes sometimes. Now that I see it though, I can't unsee it! Puzzle: That woulda been way cooler; wish I thought of doing that. :p

Julz: Love the color scheme here. A little confused about what panel 2 in page 4 is all about. Also, the sound effect underneath that panel 'Lunge' could have been a different font/color as well. DeathlySilent: Also, great color scheme going on here too. Some panels look too similar to the previous one, and it's okay to do it every once in a while. But if it's such a small comic like this, you should avoid using it constantly: (compare page 3 and 4).

Julz: Cool creepy story. I think the last panel of page 4 could have used more work, it took me a couple of doubletakes to get what it was, at first I thought that Dr. Princess had somehow inflated like a balloon or something. DeathlySilent: I like how she cleverly gets herself out of trouble, but what's with that badge? Nice work you guys~

Julz - I love the muted color scheme you're using, and how well it meshes the characters and the environments together. And they're lovely environments. I really like how you play around alternating between solid linework and lineless objects. The "doctor's office" felt a little massive though. The story was super creepy. The countdown from ten was a great way to end it, so gruesome, though I sort of wish the last page actually was the countdown, with Vinda slowly dying. Which sounds so incredibly creepy for me to say. Welp. DeathlySilent - The perspective in your comic is strange. Everything in the background is sort of flipped up like we're looking down on it from above, but then the characters are often drawn more strait on. The ground plan also extends infinitely upwards. You don't need to get out a ruler and get mechanical with your stuff, especially when you're using so many organic forms, but just plopping down a horizon before you start drawing everything would help a lot. Besides that it's an awesome comic, and it looks like you had a bunch of fun with it. There's lots of great details in the environment, and I totally envy how much variety you have in your camera shots. You're colours are so well chosen too, it's gorgeous. I love how with just a colour shift, and a subtle one too, you can tell the reader that Vinda was asleep through the night. Awesome comics guys. I swear it's like Void doesn't even care about 1 week deadlines anymore, everyone is just going to drop amazing comics regardless.

Oh man, both the story lines are so similar, it's like you guys got together and made a "Choose your own" story. Both are pretty rad (and bloody as peck), I don't know which one I like more.

Joolio: I love your portrayal of princess vinda. I felt a little ripped off at the end, though. Big splash of blood and then a cover page? I was waiting for something to happen. Maybe I'm just sick like that, though. Anyways, keep up the good work and I hope to see more real soon! :) DS: Bonus points for upside-down boobs drawn correctly. I like your style in general; your linework is smooth and your colors are beautiful! I felt like the gimmicks at the end were a little cliche, but I enjoyed the story. Your character has a fun attitude and the ending was chilling. Can't wait to see more from you!

Julz: I really like the comic and it's funny how they both are very similar. You're last page was awesome. And overall the comic was paced very well. There was some rough perspective here and there but nothing very distracting. DeathlySilent: I really liked the coloring change after she had been drugged, and the bullshit award was priceless. There were a few things I think tat hindered the comic though, one of which is the bleeping. And its funny because Julz made your princess so much more gruesome and it felt more true to character (even though it is your character and all we have to go on is the deisgn). Just don't be afraid to push the envelope a bit. You both did great comics in such a short amount of time and I'm excited to see one of these characters move on. Good job you guys.
