More from Stank
This page took way too long and looks a tad cluttered because of it. Still have some work to do on my grand simplification plans, obviously, but this page is still cleaner and more coherent than my earlier round entries in this tournament, so I think this isn't too big of a step back. We shall see if that is indeed the case with the next page!

Great to see you continuing with the VOCT! Plus it's always awesome to see Stank living up to his name!
Speaking of which, you've done some great group images in this chapter like the reaction shot of the crowd here. You do a good job giving each of the characters here different looks and features even though they were only background characters. You also do a good job framing the characters against each other so the image doesn't look to busy. The first panel on Page 2 with Regina's different personalities was a really good example of that. You talk about it being cluttered but while there is a lot of detail I think it looks a lot better than it could have. Just like you do good detail for backgrounds and background characters when appropriate you also know when to just use silhouettes or the like to keep the page coherent.
Speaking of framing back on the first page mentioned your use of negative space and I do think you do a great job of manipulating your style to focus attention or set a scene or etc. Not only is your character work good but I really like how you stylize your backgrounds and settings. The...*ahem* "fog cloud" here is a great example of making an effect very stylish. I'm not an artist so I'm going to struggle with words here but it all comes together to give a comic like this a very distinct setting that reminds me of stuff like the animated movie "Dirty Duck" where it really seems to exist in a reality all of its own. I wish I could think of a better way to describe it.
As far as the writing goes it's good that you still have a sense of humor even while doing plot and character development. Like other people have said the announcing here is great, particularly the Thunderpussy line (though I also laughed a lot at Adam's introduction as well). XD This whole situation from the beginning has set up some good comedy moments mostly thanks to Stank but it's good to see him being useful here.
The more serious character moments have been about Regina and it is nice to see how you're handling her character. Page 3 is absolutely excellent both artistically because of the way you did her multiple personalities and the really great panel layout across the middle of the page and from a writing perspective because again how you wrote her personalities and did the flashbacks. Since Regina is a new character for this comic it's been good to see how she's developed over the course of it so far.
And from a plot/action perspective it's cool to see how you use her variety of abilities and different personalities for effect. I'm really looking forward to seeing what creative ideas you can come up with in the future as well. With her explanation her I assume she really will be fine but I wonder if anyone else will.
Finally, this is definitely the most cliffhanger style ending for a page this round so far. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Thanks a lot for sharing your work, Stank! Best of luck in the tournament! ^^

Wow... thank you so much. ^^
I never know how to respond to these... other than to say I'm glad to see my various lifelong efforts have led to some rewards. I may not be where I want to be just yet, but everything you've described up there is what I've been trying to accomplish. So I'm off to a good start.
I only hope to continue to entertain as I continue my journey. :3

:3 I'm loving that Monocle line. <3
Slightly kicking myself for not altering Teio's hair-style in the character sheet of him. But that's my bad, not yours, so no changing anything.
Looks fantastic. :3
And I'm shitting bricks 'cause I need to hunker down and get mine finished. It will get done, I promise! I just got over my cold, my bag arrived with my cables so I could get my damned file to work on, Windows 7 has been installed neatly, and yes.
Regina's gunna blow my head off to write. >:C

It's like you're reading my script ahead of time. ;)
Don't worry... I still have a long way to go. We're both gonna be crunched under the time limit... Which I'm sure is sexually appealing to some people around these parts.
