Puzzlething - Thanks dude, I am so new to using any kind of digital aid that I am basically oblivious to the million of options I have now. I could definitely use some help with cropping and messing with the levels in photoshop if you ever have the time to give me a run through. I'll definitely work a bit more of backgrounds. Things got a bit rushed at the end because I spend 4 days out of the week working on a food truck that serves sushi in vermont haha. I tried out digital word balloons and lettering this time around, but I may just stick to handwriting them like the first comic.

Sean - Anti-Aliasing is what prevents not strait edges and lines from looking all jaggy and pixelated on any computer display in any program. There's a lot of little polishing you could do to up the quality of your pages, I imagine your just not super familiar with digital clean-up. You could play with the levels a little more to clean up the page and bump the constrast. Also, crop your pages properly, I can still see the edges of the paper. Your backgrounds get pretty sparse later on, but I think you're doing a way better job of filling the panels in an interesting way.Your little "The End" at the end is actually very clean, have you thought about handlettering? Charlie - Ahahahahaahahah, oh my god dude, I love your Hipster Princess. Every second she's saying and doing stuff is a great second. This was such an awesome succint comic. The first page is just so much yeessssssssssssssssss. I wish you'd put more time into these comics, but I don't know if my heart could handle what would come out. Also dude, this has nothing to do with your comic here, but you should feel free to do dumb fight comics on Void. As long as it's fun and interesting, everyone will totally love it. This is a great humor comic, so well written, but you have work on what excites you and what you feel passionate about. If you're not feeling these comics, just go crazy balls to wall and forget about anything else.

Charlie: This was a very funny, well-paced comic. And I think you made the characters feel genuine and interesting. We all know that you are capable of awe-inspiring work, like the first page. It is a shame that the level couldn't be consistent all the way through, but you still definitely put a lot of work into it. Sean: Your line art and style are interesting, and I think you're guilty of somehing I have a hard time with, which is drawing characters stiffly and in poses that are easier than others, but can just come off as unnatural, especially the 2nd panel in page 2. But that is why we're all here, for feedback, and as you make more comics it will be interesting to see your progression.

Bobo- I honestly have no idea what "anti-aliasing" is! I am computer illiterate. I mean as for the comic, she isn't really magical in anyway. She is a hipster bitch and likes to play awful mind games. I could see how its confusing since I kind of established her as less evil with more of DGAF attitude. I will definitely work on the stiffness of the people. That's something I am really struggling with lately. Also pacing and dialouge placement.

haha thanks guys. Also Bobo I'll try, I did mooost of this fight in a day (and page one's BG I had to do over twice because I was dumb and didn't save and then I had a power outage). One day I'll learn to be responsible on VOID I promise. And yeah I draw a lot more than just catgirls I swear! Glad you found it funny too, I had a hard time thinking of an idea for this fight that that alone took me half the week to think of. Was gonna try to integrate it into the storyline I want to set up, but it didn't work so I ended up going the funny route again otherwise it'd have felt like that story was just shoehorned in. It also keeps things short I guess too!

Sean: Aaaahhhh! Anti-aliasing! Turn it on! I'm sure you just forgot this time, but you'll want to make extra sure in the future. Anyways, as far as the comic itself, I'm not sure what to say. I'm a little confused: this magical evil Margot doesn't seem like the same person we saw in round 1. I still like her, I just got caught off guard. And I have to agree about the stiffness of some of your characters. I really liked the twist of having Ferdinand turn on Ailie, but it seemed a bit sudden. You've got some good story going on here, I'd just work on your pacing and making sure the characters' motivations make sense and their actions are consistent with their personalities. Can't wait to see more from you! Charlie: Okay, from page 1, your backgrounds are beautiful. The whole composition and everything on that first page is amazing. I know you got crunched for time and had computer problems, so I understand why you couldn't keep up that level of detail all the way through, but even just that one page is awesome. Also, I'm really enjoying your interpretations of your opponents' characters. I have to admit, I sorta thought you only knew how to draw cat girls from the recent stuff I've seen you draw, but you definitely have a firm grasp on your anatomy (God Save the Peen). Seriously, though, all of your character designs are lovely, and you really bring out the best in everyone's personality. I love the twist you threw in there of Margot getting out-hipstered. I wasn't expecting that, but it worked perfectly. And the ending. Man, your humor is just spot-on throughout the whole thing. I just hope you have time to really finish your battle next round!

I have two reactions: One. I SHIP IT. Second. Warsaw Burning is definetely an album I'd listen to. Sean: Nice work. I really like the lines on your comic. However. I feel your characters looked a bit stiff from time to time. For example with Margot when she's riding a bike. I'd expect her to be maybe leaning a bit forward, and not completely erect. Or when Ferdinard pushes Ailie away? It felt like he broke his hip instead of an actual push. Another thing is that the speech bubbles got a bit confusing from time to time. Only the boy's bubbles seemed to be able to be told apart. All in all, good job. Your princess is an interesting character. Charlie: Such a shame some pannels could not be finished, still, such a good job with a 1 week of work. I still believe your backgrounds are boss, and I adore the exaggerated expressions you gave to your opponent's character. Margot Nuke while flippin' the bird made me laugh.
