COOL HAIR AND GLASSES HOT CHICK BATTLE honestly if it wasnt a death match these two should be best friends.

Kent: gonna have to agree on the grays- maybe just straight black and white next time. Im also not completely sure where this took place since a lot of the backgrounds are sparse, and the pacing seemed at times a bit forced- since theres Jeanette, her 2 ghosts, the good doctor, the voodoo fellow plus some incidental characters, theres kind of a lot being touched on but not enough explored in any depth. im not even really sure what Freakinstyle actually did in this comic... however i did like that it started out as a transaction for purchase of one of Jeanette's ghost buddies, and ended with her own soul trapped eternally in a jar, thats wicked clever haha

DuckGod: This is very pretty and very confusing. Like, i LOVE how expressive your characters are. wait where does that werewolf come from. The secondary colours look so good! is Freakinstyle still alive?? I love page 10! ...What is page 13?  its a lot of feelings like this haha and its pretty conflicting. i hope if you make next round you have time to add dialog because i can muddle through it a little but mostly im lost. But it looks GREAT! if you dont make it, i hope you come back with more characters to battle with!

Duck God: Not entirely sure if it was intentional that you made it a silent comic. I mean yes there is very much every indication that this was a silent comic but I am not sure if it was /made/ to be one. I believe a big part of this is the fact that I am faced with a 3 fighter team vs. 1 other leading to my confusion. However I imagine you have thought of this and that an elegant solution would have been to make the comic subdued active musical and non verbal so that we as a reader don't make assumptions that will get shot down. We see a spectacle - but as a personal preference I like stories. There is one here but I feel that it would take me giving the artist far too much credit to parse. And since there is no claim -in words- or otherwise what kind of story this is I am left with hypothetical assumptions. I believe if you wanted to push this aspect further, coloring the two sides with their distinct color would have more than helped.  Ok now that that's out of the way the art was good and I played music to the comic. Wonderful ! but alas I must grade the story incomplete.

Meester Kent. It's a comic alright with some exposition dump and what maybe forced writing from you. It's solid but the final product seems to also tangle with the fact that you're dealing with a figther team. This means a conflict that is hard to parse but is otherwise still good to read.  The art doesnt compare up to Duckgod's cerebral read but I get a lot to chew through.

Yeah that gray was a thought experiment that didn't pan out ~ I'll either go full color or plain BW next time -_-

DuckGod: I love your style! I hope to see more backgrounds in your next comics, but I really dig your character designs. That's really your strong suit, and I enjoy the animated faces and body language. Great entry to Void, and I can't wait to see more :D

Mister Kent: This is a Kent story for sure, interesting world building and fun writing! I'm not a fan of the gray fill across the board it makes the comic feel incomplete. You probably should have played with more shades if you had the time to do so.

TheDuckGod: Great entry as far as the models and action is concerned, I like your use of colors. Without dialogue though alot of the story is lost (still don't know what the setup is) and I have absolutely no idea what's going on in that final page. I think this comic would have definitely benefited from words sinc the visuals alone aren't selling the plot. What this comic also needs is alot more background work, there's very little so often my brain is telling me they're just fighting in the dark. It would definitely help with the weight of the plot.

GJ guys!

Ayyy comics.

DR. FREAKINSTYLE -

Quality (6) -  It's very, grey. It doesn't impact the score that much as you can still very easily follow whats happening in the story and nothing is out of place with any of the proportions or perspectives, but it makes the comic look a lot, I guess flatter then it should be, and part of me feels that it might have been better to go with white, but outside of that there isn't any problems large enough to warrant a harsh docking.

Creativity (6) - And no real problems here either, you worked the story of your opponent into it, you set the scene enough, character abilities seem to match also and I have a soft spot for silly antics in a comic. But as it was mentioned in other comments, the fight seemed to consist of one kick and then voodoo stuff. Also that end was pretty nasty, good job aspiring evil mad scientist that's how you do it, A for effort.

Entertainment (7) - Well I liked it, it's always a good start when you read a comic and you don't dislike it. Although as mentioned before the fight wasn't much of a fight, which ain't great, but the stuff around the fight compensated for it, made it better, I found the antics before the fight funny, and the stuff after the fight satisfying, so the fight in the middle being a bit limp didn't really bother me enough to go lower then a 7. Keep it up

JEANETTE AND OTHERS -

Quality (7) - I really do like stuff done in black and white if it's done well, and I also like black and white stuff with occasional splashes of colour in it. Which you seemed to have managed quite well so props mister, you have my attention already. A lack of dialogue is a bit of a downer but you've explained why already so that's fine, if there is any other thing I am sort of erring on, is that the battle seems to be taking place on a stage in the infinite void, maybe just a little background decoration wouldn't have gone amiss but that's just my opinion.

Creativity (8) - There is no dialogue, but from how you've styled the comic, that didn't really seem to be a problem, there's enough going on from just facial expressions and posture of characters alone that I actually thought it was a deliberate design decision, and the aforementioned splashes of colour in a black and white comic is something i really, really like the effect of. The only two things I really felt iffy about, was the lack of any sort of background decoration, and that I needed to go over the end of the comic a few times to figure out what actually happened, but I got it eventually.

Entertainment (8) - Yeah alright I like it a lot, I like this character, I like this fight, I like these effects with colours and stuff and I just really want more of this, possibly with dialogue this time. You've got something pretty swanky going on here boss, keep it up.

Ahh Mr Kent you did a wonderful job man,  had a blast reading it,  even if jeanette's fate is particularly cruel haha. Though I would have liked to see more attackula in your comic,  sad to see he was still in dpelopment. But overall I really enjoyed the dialogue,  and it's nice to see some of that particular world fleshed out a bit,  and even the Baron from my character description!

@Julz thank you! There was meant to be dialogue but I didn't have enough time to actually write it,  I had a basic layout of the story that I followed to make the pages because I only had about three hours per day in the last few days to actually do it all,  so I drew the comic first so I'd at least have something. Unfortunately by the end I was so tired and had about two hours left so I chose to sleep instead. Because it was like 7am lol what sucks a bit is that I found out about the extension after getting home late and I wasn't feeling doing two all nighters in a row aheh

@Pyras oh did you resize them all?  Thank you!  Sorry I was super tired when I uploaded then and forgot to resize them.

@minteh oh man,  you could see the filll bucket lines? Oh woops I didn't notice them at all when working,  aha thanks for the heads up,  gotta fix the settings in MS5.

Kent: Excellent story! I really wish you'd color, that would make it so much more dynamic and fun for the eyeballs ehehe. Really enjoyed it. Love the humor in the characters and the personality. Got a little tripped up on page 12 panels 3-4 when I almost thought that Doc was replying, but that was prolly just me. More backgrounds would always be a plus and more detail to buildings to make them more believable and less simple and unrealistic.

DuckGod: Omg I'm in love with your style and colors and overall art quality. Very dynamic poses and good shading technique. Looks like it was fast and easy! On the other hand, you left me hanging with the lack of dialogue. I felt like it needed it, even if it was intentionally left out for style purposes. It was quiet and the context of many panels was lost to me. Not really even sure what the story is here or why the girls fought.

@duckgod duuuude, your thumbs look super cool, but those page sizes! I can't read it at all ): Remember to resize those guys for your next (please do more comics!!).  I will say your colours are rad as heck, even if the limited palette was to supplement for lack of time, it looks really nice and it is consistent across all pages which is great - but there is so much empty black background that's been paint bucketed on, and there's a small white line between your background and your inked figures (which is super apparent with the size of pages).

I know you had little time, this is a great effort, just small things to keep in mind for next time!

@Kent We got to see a lot of what Freakinstyle is about here, which is awesome.  The ending feels pretty sinister even though she seems like such a lighthearted individual.  I do wish there was more conflict here though, Jeanette appears, gets off a single kick, and then it's over - plus we just cut to Sona being trapped in the jar Trick was previously in.  I get time constraints, but I kind of wonder 'what if' regarding those first two pages, whether they were necessary for the rest of the comic, and by extension whether that energy could have been used to put two pages elsewhere for more clarity later in your script.
