ELYN- Lovely sequence of events, not to mention a visually appealing mingle of both yours and your opponents features. The boob honk in the last panel was rather unexpected, but I'm not gonna lie, I totally laughed XD

RADJI- Adorable. Who knew complete obliteration could be so cute? The plot device was handled well and made for  good chuckle, not to mention the amount of deadpan expression you were able to manage in Atara's face.

ELYAN: You definitely made the right call on making this a single page and the toning and pace work really well - don't doubt yourself so much, this is really awesome work. I think the lettering you've used perhaps matches the tone but isn't the best for legibility - get a bit more thickness on some of the lines just to help it stand out more and get rid of the transparency (however slight) on the backing-box. There's a bit of shakiness with the perspective and construction of the cars on the first panel but HOLY FUCK YOU DREW CARS WHEN YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO - even on longer battles people forget to put cars in the street so really commended for putting them in when on a short time limit. Charlie's advice on using some solid white is great would definitely be what you need to make this pop just a bit more.

RADJI: Love the sad/cute story in this, I gave a sad little giggle at the end there. The pacing with the gag of the chemical was great, if anything some more variation with lines on the characters would have allowed you to push Atara's expression a bit more and give you a bit more oomph on the laugh. I think your composition is fine but the colours/inks need to be tightened with those white artefacts. I think with this pallette you could have done without pure white on Slime Girl and it would have done you more justice - if anything you could have even done softer shading to go with the gradient in your backgrounds and your eye would possibly flow better. I really loved the effect of Atara being dissolved.

Woop woop!

Elyan, dark gritty and sublime and done well. Menacingly wonderful story you gave us, with a noir feel to it. Try to make the characters pop out even more and you got gold. Deliciously well made.

Radji, A promising start to the tournament and a well written ponderous tale. Try cleaning up more and fixing those slight white edges (bucket tool I presume?) and you have it made. Put in more variations to the line instead of pure black outlines (as illustrated in your last panel), as variations help bring the world to life.

All in all, jolly good show from both of you. Well done.

RADJI - Hey nice comic! I thought the story was sweet but the composition of the panels felt lacking to me, almost hard to focus on. I am not sure if its because of the colour choices or the messiness of the inks - I think they could be tighter. I think in general that seems to be the theme for you two - tighten up. But I feel for the 4 day limit you still pulled out a nice comic. The word bubbles too also kind of left a bit to be desired, but still that ending punched me right in the heart haha. Keep up the good work :)[/quote]

the funny thing is, i did some modifications with photoshop with my panels, cause my comics teacher said that the composition was a bit off. ^^seems like it wasn't enough

ELYAN - Hey dude!! I know you've been kinda feeling down about this but I really liked your comic. Obviously the dark, heavy black and white look SUPER appeals to me. I think the big thing is as stated, you need some more contrast in there. Don't be afraid to make things pure white too - the grey is fine but the extra bit of white would have helped the comic pop. The fact that you did your story textless was awesome - you almost don't even need the cause of death blurb on there since I thought it was clear. I think maybe in the future try using a sharper brush so things don't feel soft and without depth, you can always blend pieces that are too harsh after the fact. Either way great work, I really loved it.

Light Speed Critique: Elyan, needs a big more contrast to make things seperate from each other. and might make the mixing stand out. Also, this comic doesn't really need any of the setup or conclusion text I think. Radji, Awwwwwwwwwwwww. The line width change on the last panel caught me, but otherwise just plain funny.

To be honest Elyan, Atara was a tough challenge, cause how do you kill a shadow? So i used the cartoon rule: stupid solution everywhere!
And seriously mon ami, your comic is not bad ya know, the idea of assimilation was a good way to deal with a slime, so good job to you too ^^
