Judge 1
The intrigue that Eternityhero set up is really building up to something and it's making me very curious to see what will happen. The emotional touch he added at the end was also very nice. However it's hard to over look the loving craft that Koeb puts into her work. The balance between the actual fight and Madoka's inner struggle as a vengeful wife and as a neglectful mother is something I really respect and admire. Koeb's pacing coupled with the emotional depth of her story has won this match in my eyes.
Judge 2
Right off the bat, I have to say that Eternityhero did an amazing job on this match. The fight was extremely well done, with some great movement and pacing - as well as characterizing his opponent's fighting style soundly. The last page really brought Vince's other side - the side that's not drunk - into perspective. It was a display of great writing. However, the characters really, truely stood out in Koeb's entry. She got it down pat to even the way Vince seems to move - and countered it with Madoka's own ingenuity. Coupled with a great plot and internal struggle, Koeb takes writing to a level I've never quite seen in OC tournaments.

Judge 1
Both participants did a great job on this battle. Though I liked the relative complexity of Hunter's story (with the parallel plotlines) Shikaku did a better job making the story more emotionally gripping, while Hunter's, though it tied in previous events in the tournament, didn't use those events to enhance the actual battle. Hanabi's drive to succeed made the entry short but very sweet.
Judge 2
Though I liked the way Hunterwolf continued his story from last round it felt that the fight against Hanabi had taken a back seat a bit too much to the rest of the plot. Although I didn't like the way Shikaku dismissed the events of Hunterwolf's previous comic I prefer her tighter fight. It felt like it really mattered that Hanabi win this fight.

I love this whole SDL thing!
It sounds oh so wonderful, and I will be lurking and waiting to join Round 3 whenever it comes along. :3

But I have only a few questions to ask you. I've read the rules. But Im just confused on one thing.

1) Is the comic to be drawn of the battle between the opponents be drawn by 'one'artist within the battle or as 'many' artists within the battle?

2) How are the duels created? Like if one person is drawing the comic for two seperate OC's. Does that person....decide hows injured and what not?
Im really confused about this.
Please describe this to me in detail so I REALLY can understand. XD;


Much love and good luck with everything. ♥

Random things I say and that I want to remeber:

"I resist and resist and resists some more but it seems I can never escape the fact that I'm human."

"I have a great sense of direction, but I still don't know where anything is."

Yes, that's what you do. Upload your character and note RoninsUltramix with a link.
