Assorted unfinished stuff which would have made it into AFL this year if I'd had more time and the rules had been more forgiving!Related content

Leigh and MJA missed out on some great art and stories with the strict two-week rule. On the one hand, I can understand them wanting to judge every entry at the end of each round, which doesn't leave any room for late-comers. But next time, they really should be upfront about elimination from the very start!
Naturally, these are all such great sequences! Although seeing Vigil snapping Xinivrae's neck (I'm assuming) by using her horns as handlebars feels just a bit over the top - Not that Vigil hasn't been known to get brutal once her temper flares up, just that it's a hilarious weakness to exploit! As always, brilliant!
I'm wondering if there's anything in particular you would have wanted to pull off storywise with Vigil or Centauri? I'm planning something special to cap off Planet AFL once the fighting is over, and you know I can't resist a gratuitous cameo! I miss collaborating!

Well, I was thinking more about Centauri who got swept along with Rufus... But yeah, I understand if you feel there's nothing to salvage for me to pick up.
And hey, there's always AFL 6 or Dollar Fighter to look forward to. I hope I'll see you there!

I'm really quite curious as to what you had planned for Centauri in this. I know Vigil was the main competitor, but Centauri's presence intrigues me.

She and AC were going to be viewing/commentating on Vigil's fights - there was a bit of development I was going to make with the Centauri League and why AC didn't want them to know what was happening on Battleworld to explain why she was kept out of the original recruitment! Never mind - we'll try something new in the Autumn!

That would have rocked. Looking forward to what you have in store later.

Never enough time, is there? New art should be appearing over the next few days

sweet work!
Now I really curious how Vigil revert Wizard AI back into human

I assume he can control his transformations, so a little bit of mind control from Vigil did the trick!

ohhh unexpected trick!

Aw man, some AC awesomeness and I missed out!
Interesting to see what you had planned for Centauri too!
That sky temple looks gorgeous! Wizard A.I. also looks pretty damn cool, and hat panel of the blasts with Xinivrae looks intense!
These werent all drawn on the same page were they? Would be ace to see them finished. I know you don't really have an incentive to, but maybe you could finish off your own story, Vigil saves Centauri and they return back early? Or we can collab on a side story if you wanted interaction with AC? Just putting it out there.
Anyway, always love seeing your stuff.

Thanks AC - there are 12 pages (very loosely!) sketched out across the three instalments (arrival, then fights one and two), and these are the most finished bits stuck on a single page. There's not a lot of point going back to this without the fights - that's the reason why the characters are there, after all! Since the narrative can't be finished, I think I'm better off just pretending it never happened and picking up any DU storylines in later projects, rather than doing my own sad little solo bit that's completely unconnected to what everyone else is getting on with! Never mind - maybe next time!

At least you probably can take a piece from one of your inked to use as gif tart if you wanted to.

Thanks! I'm sure some of it will reappear in a different form in a later project

Lovely sketches. That temple at the top looks amazing.

Thanks a lot! That setting was a great idea. Working out those backgrounds took quite a while, so I'm glad I could post it somewhereΒ even if I couldn't finish the fight.

Good stuff as always. I love how you do all the details in there. Cthulhu head especially!

Thanks! I thought having some signs in the architecture of the long lost alien race that built the sky temple would be a nice touch

So, you were planning on putting Centauri in chains for this?
Maybe you SHOULD go ahead
We can always pretend these were the deleted scenes

I had a whole sequence planned to explain why Centauri was there but not fighting - which of course we'll not see now. I'll probably reuse some of these images in different storylines later though.

I bet you will
Speaking of which, I hope I didn't portray Centauri in a bad way in my AFL Intro?
You asked me to include her, but never commented ( before the elimination-thing ).
Made me worry I might have made her look bad in your eyes?
Was her dialogue with Rufus a bit off, maybe?

Honestly, I was so busy that week that I didn't really get to look at it (Literally, I was only home for about ten minutes that week and worked two weekends in a row) and then I was so down about the lockout rule that I didn't really go back and look - but I will check it out properly soon. Comment incoming!

This stuff looks great! Love how you add in the cross hatching for texture and detail. It's something I need to work more on and try to get more textures and details into my work. Then maybe I can be as good as you one day

I love a bit of cross hatching! And you're a brilliant artist - if I can ever get my dramatic poses as natural and fluid as you, I'll be a happy bunny! Thanks for the

Nice! There's definitely some cool stuff here. I hope you're having fun with the new AFL.
I wasn't aware of it until pretty late and then I couldn't quite figure out what was going on, otherwiseI may have entered.

Unfortunately I couldn;t finish this in time for the 2 week deadlines they've been using, so no more AFL for me this year

Yeah, don't let it get you down though. Use the time to work on some personal stuff.

Thanks for your support - much appreciated

I just read your journal. That sucks. It looks like you would've submitted some epic battles.

It's disappointing - I'm most disappointed that everyone else on DA is tied up in AFL, so I have no-one to play with now I'm free to draw! Anyway, it's all over and done - time to move on!

Apologies for not replying to this sooner - took a couple of weeks off and only just got back - are you up for working together on something? Would be great!

Oh hey! I seem to have been away for a little while now myself.
I've picked up a bit of freelance, but I do still have plenty of free time.
Send me a note if you have any particular projects in mind
