I like this page more than the last one. I don't know what it was, but something about the last one irked me somehow. This one though? Totally, totally rad.

But he's still mostly pissed, I think. I mean, his expression is the same the whole time: Displeased.

It's almost funny, but I'd like to see the bald lil guy smile someday.

It's hardly worth being able to kick ass tith 5 Mantis Fists if you can't smile about it later.

The fight scenes don't look right to me. I'm no artist myself so I can't give detailed criticism, but I'm just not believing the force and motion.

I thought this comic was beautifully executed (and completely awesome) up until this point, so I'm kind of hoping that this is either a.) the artist warming up or b.) a style that will grow on me. I do agree that 28 looks better than 27.

A smug smirk at some point wouldn't surprise me. I actually thought he had smiled some after he saw Wong use one of his forms, but looking back now it appears that his visage was just substantially less enraged than one would expect, creating the illusion of smilitude.

Well so far so good with Brian's opinion on the fights.. John hasn't said anything but I generally never hear from him one way or the other. (Though when I do it's always polite!)

Keep in mind it's not over yet, there's a kind of rhythm here. But then again some people don't like certain kinds of things purely on genre no matter how well they're executed.

Hopefully the style will grow on you (or I guess you can skip the subsequent fight scenes :p), because unless I get orders from Brian n' Johnto change it up, it's going to be this way. I've drawn a lot of fight scenes, but then again I haven't drawn one in like a year or more, so maybe there's some rust.

Anywho, I'm satisfied w/ the way they look so far. Except I wanted Fei to kick one of the guys in the nuts, but he never does

Maybe that'll be for the NEXT fight.

Just to add from today's comic that it looks much clearer when we can see the face of the punched assilant; in the last few pages it was a great big explosion over where the point of contact was. Personally I prefer seeing their pain and suffering, go voilence go!

Also, shouldn't his face be going the other way from the strike in the last panel? From first glance the movement lines look like Fei's hand is going in a haymaker arc but from the panel before it looks like that it could be exploding as some form of backhand from his mid torso, which would explain why his jaw is going that way!

/nitpicking

Well to my eyes it goes: Fei pulls Jiao's arm down and then punches him in the right side of his face. (that's why his cheek looks all mushed up and his head's moving off like it is).

and you misspelled "violence"! /nitpicking

:p

Corel · 11-30-2009, 04:47 AM

Ah yes, I can see that now. It's just the motion blur looks like it's coming from the right to the left, making it quite confusing.

Also, voilance is totally a word. Like Feilance.

Mirai Gen · 11-30-2009, 04:50 AM

I like it. The way the action flows is nice, and I only have one complaint; the complete lack of a face via special effect on #27. Your art is pretty superb normally but that was like, "Wow, Fei must kick a lot of ass to punch his head off so hard it explodes."

MSperoni · 11-30-2009, 04:54 AM

what the heeeeellllllllllllllllll are you talking about, brutha? Who doesn't have a face on page 27?

All of 'em have faces except Bao in panel 3 and that's only cos his head is wrenched really far back since Fei's poppin' him inna face.

Mirai Gen · 11-30-2009, 05:05 AM

Is that Bao's face under the punch effect? I can't really tell, possibly cause Bao is such a recent character addition. Is that his bearded jaw?
