What do you guys figure?

Let's see if we can weigh him in before the start of the monthlies.

I went Middle. A bit hard to tell with the unfinished third piece. The lack of backgrounds and a couple short cuts on the first two keeps it from being any higher than MW for me.

Lots of potential in this though. Welcome battlereaper.

There's a big difference between those sequentials and the stitched sketch thingie (ps, if you have Photoshop, use Photomerge to put multiple scans together). I think I agree that the lack of background is very telling, though.

Use your backgrounds to help tell your stories and you'll go far, battlereaper!

Thanks for the comments BringerOfStorms. I'll endeavor to work on more backgrounds in the future.

Thanks for the tip on photomerge Wassy. I will have to try that out next time I put something like this together, and I'll make sure to work up deeper backgrounds in the future.

The ranks will be going up in a day or so... looks like you're heading to the middles.

While on one hand, your figures look pretty good (Light-Heavy material for the most part, IMO), I do have to echo concerns about lack of background.

BR, just a quick heads up: if you DO end up in the middles, know that several of them are people who started in the LW division and worked their way up. This both works for and against you in different ways. First: I think you've got what it takes to beat quite a few of them and rise the ranks quickly... HOWEVER, these guys have been in PUMMEL much longer and know what it takes to win. So if you come out with a piece like you have above, they might come back with something that, while not quite as artistically masterful, will have full color and a complete background. It may be enough to beat you, it may not. I guess what I'm saying is, don't underestimate them! Give it your all in every fight and you'll do great!
