Zil- You have an interesting plot for what you did. You've got nice expressions and your storyline flows well as always. (I particullarly like the way you portray Plagu in the first panel) Not sure where you were going with the DS and the rat-pack, though I wish you would have finished cause it seems like good stuff. Only issue I have with your drawings is that it gets a little too anime at some places that it forgoes proportions, like Enzios exression on panel 4 of page 2. Otherwise, nice job, I wish you would have finished though.
Ouro: Though it was after the deadline, I like how you added text. Good work with the establishing shot, thanks for taking my advice. Expressions are getting better. I do see that you are sketching beforehand, and using skeletons also. Maybe try sketching the character a few times beforehand just to get a better feel for their expressions, but its good to see you are improving. Try including more detail in your drawings, and sketching from real life, it will help with your understanding of how bodies are put together also. Maybe a bit more inclusion of background in your panels, but thanks for attempting to finish your story.
Pandachu: I like the build up, it gives the story more depth. Again, expressions are top notch, and your line detail is very good. However, the quality does seem to trail off, something that tends to happen often in your comic. Maybe, when dealing with deadlines try to finish your sketches so that you complete the story understandably and then go over the lines, cause I wasn't too sure what was going on after the spaceship got shot down by the rat-bot. Your issue seems to be getting it done on time, but what you do complete is beautifully done.

Zil: This one had good story flow, and I enjoyed the traditional-marker inking. The text probably would have been better if it was digital, some of the words were hard to read. And some of the lines were a little messy, but that’s to be expected in trad entries. But it never hurts to do more clean-up.
Obo: The text was at least easy to read this time. The title page was good. But the rest of the entry lacked a good level of quality. Next time, (if there is a next time); try cleaning up the lines, adding some shading, and connecting all the lines. Or at least, making the lines different widths to put emphasis on certain things. Otherwise it gets a little boring after a while.
Note that I’m only judging what was submitted before the deadline.
Panda: The first page was really nice, with a lot of character interaction (And I love the little fuzzy…. Whatever-it-is in the beginning) It’s unfortunate you didn’t submit the second half in time. Though looking at it, it would have been a lot better if you had darkened the sketch lines so they were more readable.

Things are getting close to the end here and I can feel it in your entries. Characters are snowballing and the plots are amping up. Unfortunately, it appears Zil's is unfinished, and doesn't get very far into things. What's there is solid, and I enjoyed following your work through the tournament, but there isn't quite enough here to take my vote this time. Ouro's entry definitely takes a step up from previous rounds, with stronger finish and a fairly thorough plot. Still, small panels and a lot going on compared to the actual length left me pretty confused and struggling to follow. I think there was a decent dose of deeper plot here, but it simply wasn't accessable. Panda's entry had some significant confusion intros, namely in the second half - where once again there's a dramatic quality drop. Nevertheless, Panda's entry starts off gorgeously, with strong art, engaging dialogue, and even some backstory. While I had to ponder this one over for a while, I feel that with some finish, Panda's writing and drawing skills pack the punch to go all the way.

MostAcidic: come on man, don't leave me hanging! You have such a good build up that the fight almost seems unnecessary...but still! Nice classical competition feel. Action scenes are great, but I think your expressions, though they have improved could still be refined further.(Ashley looks like a wild beast) But your characters are given definite personality(Enzio), and you've got great dialogue. Nice job, though I'd really like to see the conclusion.
Kscat: Good use of blacks and whites throughout. Very cute storyline, though I'd like to see you focus more on your opponent's backstory a bit. Very good paneling and pace and conclusion. I enjoyed yours a lot.

Mostacidic: Your entry had a lot of great action. I like that you included all the other characters. Though… it would have been nice to see your own fighters for more than just a few panels. That aside, the first page had wonderful dialog, the second page is okay as well. It would have been nice to see your entry cleaned up, and the anatomy/quality fluxuates quite a lot throughout. Also, it would have been nice to have seen that last page submitted in time to count for the tourney, but unfortunately it doesn’t.
KS: The story, flow, and layout was all very nice. Your anatomy could have used some work in some panels, but overall it was a good entry. I enjoyed the fact that it all had the same quality more or less, and it was shaded. One point would be to lessen the airbrush look. Otherwise, it was a very good entry.

Both of you have done quite well up to this point. As it stands, Acidic's intro page was fairly spectacular, but - as mentioned in the comments - the entry as a whole seems to have been eaten by the deadline. Considering that it took a stack-and-a-half to get to the more essential part of the round, I think it may have been better to condense things more and focus on the core. Cat manages that focus and, despite a somewhat confuses start, keeps the momentum going from the previous rounds. Both of you are excellent artists and writers, and it's a shame you can't both move ahead, but I must vote for someone. Cat takes my count for completion.

MaxK: Great use of different camera angles, as always, your art looks very professional and you've really discovered your own style. I really wish you would have finished your story, because it ends with such a cliffhanger. All in all, great work, and beautiful perspective throughout( Page 4, especially)

Wolfspecter
Very nice pencil and panel work. I like the flow of the story and some of the action. It would have been nice to see this finished.
There are some little wonky anatomy errors (Last panel- page 3. Her hand is strange) but over all it was a nice start to an entry.

Greyflame
Well, forfeit vs (Unfinished? Finished? I wasn't quite sure what to call it as), so no real choice to make her. I don't think I need to say anything about the art stunning in Max's entry. But with unfinished earlier rounds, and not much time for story development left in the tournament, things are definitely going to have to get going next round. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
