Jetpilot:
I am sorry to say that your match did not appeal to me. I was hoping for a bit more I guess... The theme for the round was the wind festival, and while you hinted at games and festivities, even the couple hosting the event, the event itself seemed very sidelined and you could've used the event and possibly the optional events to make the round more fitting. Aside from that, the story did little too obtain or keep my attention, also the fact that only the last part of your entry is written shows that it was rushed, which honestly, one should try to not show such things when in a contest, it makes you seem lazy and it was a day late anyway so you could've spent just a little longer keeping it constant.
Good points:
*used all the finalists into the background (it was a nice touch)
Improvement needed:
*use of theme


Kenton:
A well made round, you stuck with your usual style and finished the round in the same style you started it in, which is very nice. But they were late, VERY late, and the wide gap of days before the last 2 parts seemed like a lot for how fast you make pages. Other then that, you used the theme well and your round had a nice humor and was rich with character expression.
Good points:
*Use of theme
*Realistic actions and expressions among characters
Improvement needed:
*Start as soon as possible and try to not have parts that are two weeks late.

Winner:
Kenton
Reason:
While Jet had his pages up closer to the due date, I just cannot say that his entry was better, also seeming as Kenton writes a script for his rounds the fact that he put up it all in comic form rather then lazily putting up the rest in written form makes for a nicer entry, also I like when people actually face the person they are against.

---------------------------------------------------------------

ah this was a fun matchup to read ^^ the festival theme was chosen and it was right on time and the opponents featured eachother alot
hmm? kenton was late by two weeks after being given a three week deadline and that one week extension?

and jet turned the festival event and his battle with kenton into a short little feature in his comic covered in two pages and devoted the rest entirly to battling his other character as a means of practice for other tournies?

.......and i HAVE to pick a winner based on that?
im sorry, they are both grand entries but one is much to late and the other got to hopped by the optional event

so im voting for neither one and if it comes up there will be a rematch to decide who won this

===================================

Winner: Tie

King:
I'm impressed actually. You done some.. well not so interesting rounds recently I am sorry to say. But this round had great humor to it and I quite enjoyed reading it. I liked the use of the theme and of the queen event host as well. Try to keep that up, even when your style doesn't appeal to me I really liked the entry, and I think it is one of your best.
Good points:
*use of theme
*Use of character expression
Improvement needed:
*If you added some shading or screen tones it would really add to your inked style.

Dadrick:
OH MY GOD! What an amazing round! I absolutely love what you did with it, and Cossi! I can't even imagine her looking so angry but it worked so well. You probably could have used the actual festival in the round a bit more.. but you used parts of the theme well enough for it to just come out simply bad ass. The backgrounds are amazing.. just wow. Great job! Keep it up.
Good points:
*Use of setting
Improvement needed:
*You should've come up with a new costume for Cossi, she likes wearing lots of different things

Winner:
Dadrick:
While King did an amazing round as well, it just wasn't quite enough to win this one.

-------------------------------------------------------

wowwie wowwie wow.....just...wow...
i will be completly honest, back in round one maaaaaany months back if someone was to tell my these two would be throwing up entries of this quality i would never have believed it, i mean this very round you can tell both challengers gave it their all and put alot of hard work and effort to make it a good show ^^

kingy your artstyle has improved steadily, poses well done, a fine use of shading and your getting pretty clever with your story ^^
the humor in your entry was grand and how you used the festival event was simply marvelous ^^
i hope to see more such stupendous entries from you ^^

dadrick your lines were clear, your action scenes are far clearer and you had a nice original idea, using a twist on the event for an arrow contest

to choose between the two was hard for me but in the end i point the way for dadrick on this round

Viking:
Your writing kind of bores me, sorry to say it but it is very long and you never even get to the actual event nor do you bring in your opponent, so I don't even consider this a round but rather part for between rounds.
Good points:
*you write with nice details
Improvement needed:
*actually get some of the round in there

Bunni:
Incomplete! Too many excuses and not enough “money where your mouth is”. Even with that, you STILL put more of the theme in your round then your opponent.
Good points:
*the first page seemed to be leading into a good entry, even if I was 'lost'
Improvement needed:
*Finish story

Winner:
Bunni:
It's sad you really win by default, try harder next time, I mean you are in the finals! Geeze!

---------------------------------------------------------------

gosh this is a toughy >_> a compelling intro piece detailing lord vikings meeting with lutia vs dans cover and page one...

both entries are heavily incomplete and it makes me weepy eyed that i may never get to see either person toss up the completed entry as they are both bad about posting up entries after the fact T___T

in the end though the round goes to bunni and only because she tossed up that first page [link] that is poor replacment for an actual match, makes me cry for incompletedness but tecnically takes the win because it used the required event >_________>

---------------------------------------------------------------

if you two wanna cry foul and demand a rematch later you wont see me complaining

Silent:
What a nice new style, a shame you didn't comic it, but it was still a very cute style. I liked the pairing with your opponent, it was very cute and original! I hope they meet up again!
Good points:
*very interesting round, it was very enjoyable
Improvement needed:
*define sketchy lines a bit more

Diana:
I think you should have drawn the whole thing, but it was still very amusing. It was interesting that both you and silent could see your characters as friends! Lots of story to the entry as well.
Good points:
*lots of plot
*lots of not required characters
Improvement needed:
*stick with one style for an enty

Winner:
Diana:
While length wise I think they're roughly the same, but there was a lot more plot in Diana's story. Do I sense a future romance? Keep it up you two!

---------------------------------------------------------------

wow! silent used a series of pictures with a bit of text and turned it into something perdy ^^
quality took a dive as it progressed but it was nicly done ^_^

diana...you were late late late latey late! your entry was brilliant and clever but it took a hit due to the lateness!
and worst of all you took my ball of yarn!

so im voting in favor of silent since she isnt a yarn steal nah!
