Unbelievably awesome.
Unbelievably.
EDIT: The Devil's hand looks mutated in the second panel, though... _________________

The killer line is definately "Flagrant Drop-Kicking" for me. Well done, Tat. |

Is it just me or is the devil more stylish than usual in the first panel? |

I like how the cane & ring in panel 1 magically switch from his right hand to his left.
I also like how Christ still makes the basket despite the drop-kick.

I was actually noticing the devil's new look in the second panel more.
he looks much less cartoony than the older strips, with a more Japanese influenced style.
and he has more claw-like hands. _________________ Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS" |

it's like the "anime Devil" from a week or so ago.
Secret, I think the hand thing is because in that panel the Devil's drawn more realistically, but still with just three fingers. |

And his hand's a different color, and he has claws, and his fingers are a different color near the claws. _________________

I believe there's a shadow on the hand, from having a ball above it, and the "claws" are long fingernails; I've noticed pointy fingers like having long pointy fingernails on the Devil in the strip before. Plus, see panel one. |

it's not the shadow from the ball. if you notice the middle finger, the shadow is left to right.
and it's not just long fingernails. if you notice, the tips of the claws are different colors than the finger, which is different color from the base.
and what is the point in panel 1? his fingers are indistinct. _________________ Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS" |

the light source is to the left, sure, but the back of the hand, beneath the ball, is darker, as if in shadow. if you hold your own hand to the light, it will be of a lighter shade on the side toward the light source and darker away from the light. and it lightens at the finger joint. and you can see the round shape of the bottom of the nail.
