Author's Note:
Ok... Lets talk about violence rating. I did noticed when Po beat up his foe, most of the time is using his VERY round belly, or butt to bounce people off. Signifying the critical finishing blow. Even wushi finger... well, what really happened after the pinky finger dropped is still a mystery to me. Did Tai Lung evaporated? Exploded? Which is very... uneasy to look at i guess. Maybe because of that it remains yet to be shown. In the Art of Kung Fu Panda, the maker mentioned of changing Tigress's original claw strike to kick and punches was to reduce the violence result, even Crane's Pecking technique (imagine he peck at his enemies eyeball with that beak) and Viper's signature fang strike was removed.. Overall, all that actually made the movie less voilence to illustrate. And fun to watch them fight. Which is good because it doesnt provoke the use of blood (except for the punch and kicks but those are blunt attack i guess). What i am trying to say is..... Everytime i wanted to illustrate a blow that hit its marks, that scene become very hard for me to illustrate. The image of a loose teeth, a bruise, twisted neck, dislocated joints, a broken rib or a cracked knuckle started flooding my head. While I dont want to see my characters ended up covered in blood or bruises (Li Wei is a hard ass and so i allowed that. Sorry Li Wei), same goes to being a huge fan of Kung Fu Panda (and respecting their characters), its hard for me to draw a fighting sequence. Because to show that someone had beaten someone. To show that one is more superior than the other, they really need to... BEAT them up first.
To support my claim, i actually removed Ael's foot claw. So when she kicks, she doesnt reap things apart. Except for the claw strike but I purposely made them missed. But what if i made everything look fake? No matter how bad they are cut and how big the sword is, no bruises or cut shown? That will be illogical. :S
Now, a question of survey just for fun, rain, snow cloudy, or sunny?

Wow! It's getting really exciting
Can't wait to see more 
Yep, you gotta point. Doing a comic based in DW's stuff sounds good
About your question: "rain, snow cloudy, or sunny?" .... hum, I like sunny days, but if it is for a fight, rain sounds more epic

Well. Depending on the atmosphere created and if following the movie style strictly. kfp is a mix of kung fu panda comedy mostly. Okay, raining. Wuuhoooo... i like raining too.

Rain. Most definitely. Reduces overall visibility, minor sound dampening, decreases ground control by making rough surfaces slick and slick surfaces impossible. It can also induce sneezing in susceptible targets. Additionally, it can wash away any of that blood that you'd hate to see. A wound wound appear, then gently get wicked away by the water. Lastly--the rain creates a sense of calm, quiet reflection. At the end of a massive battle where there is only one side, or one person still standing, the rain isolates the roar of triumph and replaces it with a cold atmosphere of change, forcing the victor into a corner to think... "What comes next?". Lightning and Thunder also sometimes accompany rain allowing the weather to signify changes in the pacing and tone. Lightning strikes--high impact moment. Thunder clap--importance or added suspense. Heavier rain fall--struggle. Rain stopping--end of sequence. It's fun to watch the weather--although I believe rain is the most effective at getting a point across. You don't see snow doing that too often X3.
Also--awesome fight so far. I'm actually extremely surprised to see Po doing so well. I suppose whenever I depict Po, I allow him to feel more free and open in his decision making and only truly gets himself in the moment when this go from casual to serious. Whenever I portray him, he's perfectly aware that he can level anything he touches and rarely troubles himself with the thought of failure or poor performance--only when he actually starts to show an "F" in the grade book does he pick it up and show what he's made of. Although also--certain villains he fights against are also perfectly aware of his power... making his probability of success much much more slim than he's used to. He usually succeeds in the end, but I've got no problem hurting him or anyone else to show how serious the struggle truly was x3
Love the comic so far though man, I hope to see more soon. I know it's a hell of a work in progress though--but you're doing great!

Woooah! Your comments are like dynamite out of nowhere. Like a blast from the past. LoL. Its good to hear from you again. Anyway, thats a detailed breakdown of the rain scene effects. I will take note of that. Po i wanted to depict that he is capable of motivating himself, and being proud and confident in doing most of the thing. Which sometimes get carried away and ended up in deep shit. But being the Dragon Warrior, he always overcome his weakness in the end.
