Who knows, maybe Fei left them alive (but badly mangled) so that they could spread the word, warn everyone not to dare mess with Fei. It's hard to make an example of someone if there are no witnesses, other than (*spoken in Fei's voice*) a pudgy little brat who should know better than to speak.

So when are you gonna kill off Fei to shock us all at how brutal the enemy is?

Knight13 · 12-07-2009, 08:17 PM

In the next fight, Fei isn't even going to bother beating up his opponent. He'll just grab the poor slob's pinky, say "skadoosh" and flex his own pinky.

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.

I kind of liked 29. The details on the blocking, followed by a pretty sweet looking... umm, what's it called.. Kind of like a reverse knife hand, sort of.

Can't think of it. Been too many years since I practiced, I guess.

Looked good, though. And in general, I'm liking the attention to detail.

Any specific analysis of the fight scenes, so we have an idea what you find lacking? Maybe compare it with existing fighting manga like History's Strongest Disciple, or something you'd consider better?

Edit: RIDGE HAND! That's what it looked like Fei used at the end of 29.

Anyone else hear "FINISH HIM!" when reading 31?

Red King · 12-07-2009, 09:48 PM

I'm not sure if it was even there when I first checked, I was sleepy. But I think the center panel did/would look better without the red FOOM.

Martyr · 12-08-2009, 12:16 AM

the foom is important because all this time I was thinking, "whatever. I could do that. If I was there, they'd all be dead and I'd eat the house."

But I can't "Foom."
Certainly not at the same time as I do a pirouette K.O.

And I think that's what's important. If there's no foom, then Fei is nothing more than an angry ballerina.

Fei definitely looks surprised just before the "FOOM." I assumed he wasn't expecting to use the Final Form.

After reading some above messages, I was thinking that if the problems w/ how I did the fight scene are having to do with the fact I didn't do it enough "like another comic" then I'm not sure I'll be able to address any of those concerns. I'd rather not end up just being a copycat..

I looked around online at History's Strongest Disciple, maybe I was looking at the wrong chapters but I wasn't really all that impressed with how it was done. So if anyone says "be more like it" that's definitely not going to happen (unless the person asking me to do so is Brian).

EDIT: After looking over some better pages, the fights in H'sSD don't look TOO bad in spots..

I kinda wish we were at another fight scene so I could give it another go

I'm not sure how I feel about the (red) foom.. I usually don't like hints of color in a black and white comic but then again it adds some strength to the panels.. sooo.. I guess I'm neutral on the matter. Jeff's worked in comics a long time so I trust his judgement.

Odjn · 12-08-2009, 06:47 AM

That look? The one he gives right before beating them badly, which looks like constipation?

That is Fei's Death Look. When you see it, he is about to kill you.
