Description PART ONE
TWO
FIN
ALE


Yeah, the night I finished this I came back from the hospital, because I was involved in a car accident. Horrible, hope it never happens again. Nonetheless was able to finish this, and now it's complete!

Previous comment commence! ====

The first new deviation of my new life.

I vowed to finish this tonight. And I did. Despite the horrible event that I miraculously survived.

I'm simply thankful that I still get to share my talent with all of you.

I'm still wearing my hospital tag around my wrist. As a reminder, and probably as a new lucky charm. Who knows. Luck isn't even what I'd call it anymore....

Scary coincidences everywhere, now that I think about it. The title, the subject matter... brrr.

Thank God

that was written amazingly well, i am thoroughly impressed with your skill and this comic page kept me interested and wanting more. keep up the good work. btw I think zane would look cooler if he had more wrinkles and a more care worn face, like he's lived a lifetime of problems... it's your comic though

Dude, after seeing this, I am convinced you were granted supernatural dialogue writing abilities from some form of deity. That was amazing.

I consider myself a writer and really try hard to write dialogue that has a nice flow and feels natural. But wow, the dialogue in this comic (and indeed most of your work) blows anything I could write out of the bloody water. I mean, it's amazing. You really have a talent for dialogue.

Writing aside, the visuals are great two. I really liked the choice to keep Fossil in the shadows most of the comic. It's a nice stylistic choice. Plus his creepy shadowed appearance helps really drive home the fact that Fossil is a horrible, horrible human being (...not that he's a human being but...well, you know what I mean )

This is great. I can't wait to see more from you.

Bad Fossil is B.A.D.

But it looks like Sol is the big hero out of this, can't imagine what might happen if Sol does manage to escape out from hell

Great job with this piece!

Its good to hear that you weren't seriously injured. And may I say that this is absolutely spectacular! I can see a definite improvement in this... and I love the story. Heck, I think some of the "offside" stories that have resulted from this tournament are more fun than the actual events!

AstroCrush In reply to Nyxen [2008-08-30 03:10:26 +0000 UTC]

I'm still stunned that I came off OKAY for something that bad.... Anyhow, thanks! Actually, the joy of following a comic tournament is following the side stories, seeing what plots and mayhem branch out from the main trunk of events

RustyNormandale [2008-08-29 22:45:30 +0000 UTC]

You've still got it, even not long after whatever happened.

And I figured someone would be angry with Ophelia for having dealt the blows, even if the placard is only partially showing, as opposed to at least two who clearly blame Fossil, with one only partially obscured.

Thanks! Actually it was written and lined before the accident, but I finished the colors and added some text and panels after.

Yeah. Anger goes in so many directions. And, like in real life, not everyone knows the whole story....
