Description
I actually like Sheva quite a lot, and I think she's definitely one of the smarter females in the RE series (Wonky AI aside. If we're judging character intelligence by AI, then Wesker is the dumbest guy in the series because he is godawful during the Lisa fight of the first game), but my partner who was playing her got a little...confused during this fight.Based on a true story. My friend just didn't realize what we were supposed to be doing. That's her excuse, anyway
Fortunately, in reality, she missed. However, this was hardly the first time during that boss that she tried to kill me. We had the infinite ammo Rocket launcher, so she kept spamming rockets at Wesker regardless of the fact that a) he would just dodge them and b) he was RUNNING TOWARDS ME. Also, it was a very bad idea for me to turn the lights off, considering her track record of mistaking me for an enemy. God, I think she did more damage to me than Wesker did
. She has it out for me, I swear.Though to be fair, I never really told her what we were supposed to do because I wanted to mess around and make it last longer
(No she's not really that bad I'm just exaggerating for comedic effect)
Technical notes: I actually tried to be subtle and neutral in the coloring for once. It should be noted that "subtle" and "I" do not go well together. I think I prefer the ultra shiny coloring style, even if it takes longer, if only because I am part magpie.
Morbid question: If one is blown to pieces in an explosion, will the pieces still bleed or would they be cauterized? I would like to add some lovely blood puddles under those dismembered limbs, but I don't know if that would be accurate.
EDIT: Never mind, the blood looked...odd, given the cartoony style.
Finally, why is it so hard to find good reference pics of the dang rocket launcher front a front view?!

As a Wesker fangirl, I feel obligated to justify him sometimes, even though I know that's silly and impossible. Strangely, I also enjoy beating him up. I'm always oddly sadistic to my favorites o_O
Haha, the holy rocket launcher of Antioch eh? I hope Chris gets the counting right. ...then again, this is Chris we're talking about, so that might be asking a bit much.
Wait, you mean the weird stark-white medusa guys? Those were vampires? 
Hey you're right, he never does appear in direct sunlight (which makes his sunglasses seem all the sillier). Unless you count Mercenaries, but then that's a minigame.
I don't remember seeing Wesker outside during Code Veronica, though. Even the submarine dock was indoors.

Lol, all fangirls feel the need to torture the objects of their love sometimes >_>
But you don't need to count for an RPG. Maybe for the Holy Incendiary Grenade of Antioch. The blast radius' of those things always screw me around.
No, not the guys who Morpheus owns with his car-cutting katana. The other guys. Anyhoo, that's beside the point.
After all, RE5 is like DMC4 in that it's the only game of its series to appear in direct sunlight. Fortunately it avoided DMC4's eye-gougingly horrible shadows.
Wasn't he outside when he fought Chris? I could have sworn he was outside then. The lighting was light but grayish, the same light an overcast day has. I do know the game finishes at midday.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
The lighting was the same all throughout the antartic facility, with the exception of dark areas. I could have sworn they were in some kind of cave or dome for that last fight? Otherwise, where were those pipes suspended from?
Well in any case, he wasn't in direct sunlight.

... My vampire theory still stands!
Just a few minutes ago I played through chapter 6-3 again online. We both had infinite-ammo L. Hawks. I only bothered to shoot Wesker with the rocket once. After that we just riddled him with Magnum rounds and wrecked his shit with punches and kicks. It helped that Sheva was in her Tribal Outfit, which we all know magnifies her Amazon Powah by a factor of 10.

I freakin love when he says that line!!!!!! "I suppose I should thank you" and "you're assistance is required!" he is so cute!!!!

Hee hee me too. The way he says it

the accent gah! that man could do what ever he wants to me as long as he's talking while he does it!

hahaha, this sure looks like fun
By the way, love your comic style

It's a new style that I'm fiddling with, I'm glad you like it

you're welcome, it looks good

Nice one!
Don't be so hard on your friend! I can totally understand...I killed Jill the first time me and my brother fought her and Wesker...
She was shooting at us, man! She was the enemy! How should I have known that it is a bad thing to kill the enemy???!!!! *cry*
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm mostly exaggerating for comedic effect. I'm not actually mad at her and I don't think she has it out for me, in fact she's saved me a fair number of times. Buuut I can't deny that fighting that boss battle with her was hazardous to my (or rather, Chris's) health

Hilarious. Love Chris's and Wesker's expressions as Sheva fires the rocket
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
LOL! Very hilarious! Your expressions are all great, and I love how you drew the 'limbs'! 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Why yes it is a watermelon
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
A-ha! So Chris' arms weren't really that big! He stuffed watermelons in his sleeves! >:3

Lol...the watermelon...awesomeness. Great work!

Yay!
Rocket launcher in Re5 is apparently modeled after RPG-7 (whatever that is):

I think if you were hit with a rocket launcher, you wouldn't end with cleanly cut out pieces, just with some bloody pulp. Also, usually if you are hit with an explosion, it's the shock wave that kills you, and makes a porridge out of your intestines. Depends on the explosion, really.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Hmm. Okay. I swear I've seen something somewhere about people getting limbs ripped off from explosions-- from land mines, I think, but then my memory is sketchy. A direct impact from a rocket probably would reduce him to pulp though.
In any case, since it is a cartoon, I think I'll settle for making Chris's pieces a little gooier. Plus I want that watermelon intact enough to be recognizable. I'll edit it tomorrow.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Pfft, it's a comic about a game with zombies and guys with superpowers, it's not like it has to be extremely realistic.
In cases of landmines and bombs like that the part that comes in the contact with the exploding device can be ripped off, but it's not necessarily what kills you.
Depends a lot on the explosion, how it's situated with the victim, is there scraonel etc.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
True, it doesn't need to be realistic, but now I find myself staring at the limbs and thinking "no they're too neat, it doesn't look right. I must fix them."
Must be the perfectionist in me, I guess.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well, some blood on the limbs wouldn't hurt, I guess.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Bwahaha! That's so true. This is why I have friendly fire off. I would have killed or been killed by my friend a couple of times when we played.
I think there would be some blood, and scorched limbs mixed. -vaguely remembers a world war movie-
And the rocket launcher.... You should have screenies of that at the end sequence. Or you now know to take some next time you watch it.
(Where do you get those screenies anyhow?)
o 3o
....And~ Good work on the colors and lines and size. xD -afterthought-like thing-
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
We do have friendly fire off, but explosions from things like rockets and grenades can still hurt your partner (and yourself as well).
I get my screenshots from OmegaNemesis28's high def RE 5 videos. They take forever to load, which is why I was reluctant to bother watching through the whole final battle just for the snippets of rocket launchers at the end. Particularly since I can't remember whether there was even a shot of the weapons at the right angle or not.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
True true, I killed my npc partner a couple of times like that. xD
Ahh.. indeed. You have sideways... and about... what would be 3/4 view? And also the view of them firing it. So yeah there'd be a reference pose for you in there. Though it passes fast.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well not exactly straight at you, or sideways, but you'd get the picture with the rocket flying.
o wo Hehe
I must have a good internet connection since I don't have a problem loading the HD vid.
;O
....... XD -cracks up at a Wesker face frame-
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
My connection isn't so hot, but I'm pretty sure the real problem lies in my slow computer. I seriously need a new laptop >_>
Wesker makes the greatest faces, doesn't he?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Ja, I bought my laptop back in march, I think.
He does. I got one where he looks totally confused. To me anyway. xD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
My laptop is only three years old, but I can tell it's on its last legs. I am very hard on computers, so they never last long in my hands
Wesker looks confused? Chris must have been ranting about big blue insect men again.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Ahhh yes, Sheva having lost count how many times he's been hit on the head. -strangled chuckle-
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
What are you supposed to do? I played online and ran out of rockets trying to kill Wesker...
๐: 0 โฉ: 2
Turn off the lights, that helps you catch him off guard so you'll be able to shoot and hit him. Because he won't know where you are exactly. Unless you run close past him, or miss shooting him. He'll run at you then. (("Ah! There you are!"))
If he turns the lights back on, avoid him and run to turn them off again. (("There's no point in hiding!"))
You need to be close enough to him to inject the serum after stunning him. The first time I tried, I died a few times and took 40 minutes to finish the fight.
So it's not to hurt Wesker as much as being close enough to initiate the injection. Your partner should be close to you too, since Wesker can shove you off if you don't inject him within a few seconds (Or less then a few seconds, boss fights makes me question how long it actually takes).
It's deceptively simple when you know what to do.
o wo
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
To be honest, we beat him mostly by luck and I'm still not sure how we managed it. Vaguely, I know you're supposed to a) stun Wesker (he'll kind of double over for a short period) b) grab Wesker c) have your partner inject Wesker.
The rocket launcher is for step a, but I don't think you need it. I stunned him the first time with just the magnum and a few punches (I still don't know how I triggered that melee attack).
The first time was also when my partner decided to shoot us with a rocket instead of using the serum, so then we had to go through it all again.
After awhile he did catch the rocket instead of dodging it, so I think maybe you just need to weaken him first? Anyway, after he catches a rocket you shoot it so it blows up in his face and stuns him.
And that's all the help I can give you, you might try a walkthrough if you need better info

I love the expressions on both Wesker and Chris when they realize Sheva is about to fire a rocket in their direction; they're like "..oh shit..." LOL. And the watermelon scattered amongst the pieces of Chris is hilarious. Great job! ^^

and why is there a watermelon on the floor in the last panel?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well you know, people say he stuffs his biceps with watermelons, so it just made sense to me that if he blows up, you'll find pieces of watermelon among the scattered body parts. Yay run-on sentences.

I see... yeah I guess that makes sence! lol

Lol at the watermellon on the ground in the last panel.
Nicely done! ^^ Poor Chris though...

I was wondering if anyone would catch that
