sumthin like that Amen

Perhaps if the people that voted against a character voted incredibly one-sided... That is, unless they gave a good reason for it, such as that they really didn't think that the one person's entry was worth the time it took to make. Although just the fact that the person's entry took that time to make should warrent at least a few points for effort... I don't know... I was just suggesting it as a possible way to deter cheaters, if they actually had to make some sort of comment about why they voted all 10's for one and all 1's for the other... Also the fact that a lot of the cheaters that have been here over the time it's been up have also been the types to give their votes, and then sneak back to the shadows without saying anything... So hopefully, those kinds of people would be detered just by the fact that they'd have to expend the energy just to do the commenting. Of course, then there are some people who would feel the need to comment, as we have all seen in the past a few times... But that also makes it easier for those people to be tracked down and dealt with accordingly. So yeah... It could possibly be looked at as a minor inconvenience to some, but from the looks of it, a great majority of the people here who do vote also like to leave their comments on the fights *points at Zato, the criticism god (and that's a good thing)*, so it wouldn't be too bad. Well... That's all I have to say for now.

I'd go for a more stricter voting thing as mentioned above. But then wouldn't it kinda leave ppl who voted against a certain character open to attack?

how ingenious. A comment voting system would be more strict. Also, is it just me but I didn't see a RULES ON HOW TO VOTE in the FAQ so back off. We're all free to vote as we like. Wether it be tight assed or not.

HAHA, this imfamous tale is finally told! Good to see it finally up. What has it been, like almost a year? O_o

told you dude.... sorry man.... made em small... didnt know they were "uncool" back then..... with the flood lights we have in my store, and breaking glass flying everywhere, that IS what it would look like though......

AUGHVOMITLENSFLARESSHITFUCKFAGBARGE

yeah, zombi..... I see the votes... i saw the cheating. admins do know. its taken care of. its cool. i shouldnt have said that before, and sorry for posting as you, Jim (my brother). now I know how confusing this must be for Jar and his bro.

man if there is cheating going on, then the admins will know, they can see all votes, so dont worry about it

Bad Dan. Just because I don't log out doesn't mean you get to post as me. But too bad. I think what he's trying to do is show a great amount of SARCASM towards said cheaters (oh, and you know who you are...). It isn't very nice to blindly give one person all 10's and the other all 1's. That's not very nice at all. Though there is possibly a way to deter this sort of behavior... Make posting a comment necessary to vote, forcing the voter to explain their voting. Could perhaps deter some from cheating, or just more easily show who the cheaters are. But that's just my two cents.

Cheaters RULE, i tell you WHAT!!!!!

Well... That's odd... How is it that Dan went from winning at about 57% to loosing so quickly... Might there be some sort of foul play going on here...? Hmm...
But anyways... Stud: 'Twas ok... But not exactly all that special... It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't fantastic, either. Kinda... Mediocre... I think.
Dan: Nice coloring is a plus, too many lense flares is a minues. But yeah, I like the style, and who knows, maybe that style will return in the future...

i noticed that too. cant make a new paragraph. that makes sense. cool cool. thanks again Zato.

Ah, I think zombo wanted to put a space in between "color" and "Studd", but since for some reason we're unable to put spaces in our comments, it came out looking like "color Studd". Hell, if I could put spaces it'd make my crits a LOT easier to read.

Again, galvo only colored me on the cover. i did the rest. it was burning dog crap..... but there was a bomb in it I guess.... lol. "ASS CLOWN!" I still love the combination of Office Space and Chris Jericho for making that term popular.

great fight dan! u even got galvo to color
studd.... uh.... i was expecting burning dogpoop on the door. but a bomb is just fine with me

not like it would be unexpected.... tehe

lol, you might get pissed on again. XD

very good points. I add that the sky was that color as it was night, but Im sure I coudla made it look a lot better..... kinda used this as a "get to know your Wacom Tablet" fight... haha. Tetris on crack... i was LOOKING for a way to describe that.... haha. you are right of course.... does look shitty.... hmm. dont know where I got those demented animal cracker shapes from anyways. And as for the lense flares........ lol, i know Spikes will die.... but it was flying glass...... and I didnt know they were the "uncool" thing to do back then. Spikes, if you can read this.... i beg for your forgiveness.

Well if you insist. Anyhow, I'm not sure if you've managed to fix this, but your selection of background colors could be tweaked to apply a different feel, since color selection is crucial to the mood of a comic. But I feel this fight took a more comical, cartoonish approach, so the dark blue might be appropriate for the sky. I'm not sure what to say about the blurs, but somehow they bring the quality down (as do the COPIOUS amounts of lens flares...there's enough flares in that first page alone to make spikes cry...). As for the general coloring, it looks too bloggy, lacking any shape definition (i.e. the shading on Beefcliff's hair should be sharper to define the hair shape). You also might wanna study how hair flows with motion and gravity, because it looks like Stud has a rubber mullet XP. I think it's already given that you already know how shattered glass looks, because the shattered glass in page 1 looks like Tetris on crack.

I think that's all I can say that may hold some value. It's kinda pointless to crit the style, since it's last appearance in the Dan vs Madman Han fight showed the obvious improvements.

Crit away. As far as the style, who knows I may use it again someday. But colors.... thats probably still how I color for the most part. We shall see in future battles. Crit away.

Correct, Zato. The cover is also a splash page. Galvo colored Dan on the cover only. BG and glass and everything else is me. same with the othe pages. I did all those back at school on a stylus.

I think he meant that galvo colored the title page and nothing else. The other pages look purely Dan-ish in nature.

well i like the style of stud..and the colors of Dan.. ohh..i mean galvo

Well, I'm finding it very hard to judge since this was from like a year ago and any advice I might give just may not apply today, so no crits this time XP. But that doesn't excuse the fact that Dan's querky style pushed him through this round. The cover page was also a nice touch ^_^.

This battle took place quite a while ago actually. He just never got around to having a scanner or anything..... so finally he drove it over here and said PUT THIS UP because i want an IPOD instead of a SCANNER. So... like.... almost a year later.... here it finally is, for any of you who remember.

WTF indeed.

O_o

Oh boy... This will be fun to watch...

WTF?

HOO HA!

Ohoho, so the Stud man IS alive!  Let's see how this turns out.
