Description
Ah, finally- Thought I'd never get through that image description for the title-But now the first stone has been cast... The rockslide begins.
Yeah, these were redone a looooong time ago- Some damage due to my inexperience scanning and saving as different file types can't be salvaged, but I think it looks insurmountably better than the original- At least its a size that won't make your bandwidth meter explode- and is more legible.
So we meet Rawk Hawk and the Masters- I'm actually pretty happy with my characterizations for the Magikoopas here- They were all previously basically carbon copies of each other in the game. I've made them into distinct personalities- Especially I like the leader...
His name is Syphone (like siphonaptera, the order of insects comprising of parasites like fleas, and yes, those are fleas constantly jumping off his hat) robed with blood red, he's quite a piece of work. He's actually the youngest among his two Magikoopa brethren- All those years ago, he was appointed leader as the manager apparently "liked his charisma... sorta dark, scary, roll with it, the ladies love it," Since he started, Syphone had become unrecognizable, both in power and in general character. He did indeed "roll with it", becoming darker and darker- His fellow Magikoopas worried about him sometimes, they often had to remind him of the Rites and Bylaws of the Magikoopa Order in battle, to insure he didn't do too much damage, or indeed, utterly destroy those weaker than them. Although, for all his severity and overall creepiness, Psyphone still really is much a child searching for approval, a child thrust into responsibility too soon...
I'll leave that description at that. *weak grin*

The story starts right on, hitting the ground running and though those who've read the original iteration of this story, the additional inking and shading really makes the picture "pop", the Magikoopa's scene in particular. But what really grabs me is something I always enjoy in your pictures, and that's the plentiful backstory, and you really provided a lot in this piece, from not only Syphone's history as well as some of the running gags we seen in the pictures, but provide a lesson in insect names...provides us with some material to consider possible character and plot development down the line...but then, I'm one whose imagination trails off if allowed to roam free >.>;
