Description To everyone. Sorry. I really am. But mostly I give apologies to my deserving opponent holy-shpootnik.

I'll be rooting for you all the way! I wish you all the best, and hope that Sheila wins!

I forfeit due to life. Life be crazy yo.

I joined this contest, because my dream is to write comics. However, I also signed up under some heavy time restrictions. This past week was finals, and I had six major exams. Then at the end of the week, when all seemed clear......I Got hired. As a graphic designer in my small texan town. A RARE JOB! I have to produce 3 ads by wednesday to secure a full time position and some seriously sexy pay. So that had to take presidence. I finally had free time today, and set about putting everything into finishing this comic.

However, I tried multitasking. Stressed out, I didn't mind the stove, and my nice new shiney bamboo steamer caught on fire. I stopped things before it got too bad, but my kitchen is a mess, and the whole house smells foul. I come back to save the comic....dejected, and photoshop crashes, losing most of my work.

If ever there was a sign from God saying, "For the love of God, take a break!" That was it. SO, I'm going to chillax. I need it, frankly.

I intend to finish my comic. But when I have time, and the not so frazzled nerves. I wasn't in this for the prizes, but to test out my skills, go for my dream, and get some serious feedback. I realized, just because I'm not in the contest, doesn't mean nebula ceases.

I'm still going to write a comic starring neb. I love the character too much, and have too many ideas.

I hope that when I do, that I can still get some proffessional critique.

So Good luck everyone! I'll be reading avidly!

Sheila and Neb, bein' buds. Because honestly, they'd get along.

A frazzled me, with a rubber duck on my head. This is a quirk of mine, that I will likely explain later!

It's okay, m'dear.
I perfectly understand, stress can be a home wrecker. I'm glad that you didn't kill yourself over this contest, and I'm sure that you will go far in both your current job, and with comicking.

Either way, I good luck with the job, and I can't wait to see the comic when it is finally finished!

I couldn't not do it honestly. I've spent so much time on the story, I gotta write the comic. But doing it for fun when I'm not stressed, will probably make it ten times better.

I really just have to finish smoothing out lineart and coloring.

Indeed! I'm also glad they liked your sexy ads and are in the buisness of getting fantastical pay! This is defiantly a plus. And ya know I always look forward to seeing other stuff you do in the future as well! Keep groovy my pink loving texan cat with a rubber duck on ya head!

Side note: Oh noes! You want Sheila to beat me! ={ I understand though. She is a groovy pirate.

Well. She does have an eyepatch......but Tanya has boobage. Tough decision, because they are both sexy things!


.......So...is a bra, kinda like a double eye patch for breasts?

WOAH! RANDOM!
