Description So here it is guys ;u;
the final page of The Last Thylacine <3
I think most of you didn´t expect to see the last page so soon, but here it is!
We traveled 4-5 years to the future and Ben and Tasha are both grown up One thing that bothers me is that Benjamin doesn´t really look that similar to his "cub-form" however Tasha looks basically the same She is just bigger, taller and more darker (mainly the hair). Ben didn´t change much, but his personality did~ He is now braver and calmer as you can see Not a timid little cub like he was before ;3 He cried like on every single page but don´t worry he is still the same old Ben like before!
I kind of tried to focus more on the shading of the characters on this page, I tried to be more accurate than on most of the pages since it´s the last one.
I left an "open" ending for purpose, for you ppl to make up an end you like or for me if I happen to return to this story

Beware a lot of text ahead! Still I would be happy if you could read the following thing c:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So ladies and gentlemen,
I would really like to thank you for being patient with me and for your support! For those who don´t know, I did this comic as a project for school. My expectation was to make an animal-themed comic, circa 15-20 pages long, which would somehow raise "awarness" of animal poaching, hunting and skinning animals for coats. Since this comic was also aimed for younger readers, I had to keep it "clean" (no skinning animals alive and so on..) so I had to point out the problems indirectly.
For example: Ben´s parents being hunted and kidnapped (in the 1930´s, when thylacines were still alive, they were  hunted for their skin and sold for high prices, that´s one of the reasons why they became extinct. If they are somewhere still alive, I hope humanity never discovers them, so they can live their own lives freely and without people killing them). Before I started drawing this comic, I intended to make a scene where Ben would somehow get to a poacher´s house and see the corpses of his parents (of course this thing seemed too much barbaric to me so I didn´t add it there). Another example is a woman on page 16, wearing an orange coat. The fur on the coat is supposed to be fox fur, which is another problem I wanted to point out. Using fur for things such as clothes, bags or purpses seems to me like a drastic and pointless act, which is a huge problem even these days. Of course things which happen in this comic didn´t happen in the reality. Benjamin (which my character Ben is based on) was a real thylacine, and was the last of his kind seen in captivity. His gender was never really confessed and there is no 100% real evidence whether he was a male or a female. There are a lot of websites which say Ben was actually a girl, but from my latest research, I found out he was showed as a male, from the examination of the last video footage (where people saw him having male organs). The real Benjamin was born to a mother together with two other cubs and lived most of his life in Beaumaris zoo in Tasmania (another thing I wanted to point out is that the zoo shown in this comic is not based on the real Beaumaris zoo. It is just a random zoo Ben was brought too, not even the cages look the same.). Benjamin died in 1936 because of being left outside in harsh conditions of Tasmanian weather.

Again guys I am really thankful for everything! Thanks for all the views, faves and comments! You guys are awesome Only the first page has more than 1700 views which seems great to me I would like to give a special thanks to some people: Tazi-dev Kiwano0 FireballStardraco Trucy757 NightFury1020 Toastpocalypse Lunewen Ayaneria YamadaCZ World-By-Haru JC-Yuna Sabreleopard and MANY more people for being very supporting and helpful <3 It really means a lot This project was a great experience! Probably one of the most mentaly tiring things I´ve ever done I had seriously so much stress because of this...sometimes I spent the whole day working on it because I wanted to get it finished since I have a deadline for this. My mom literally wanted to kill me everytime she saw me working on it..because I had to neglect my school work because of this comic, and I spent most of my days stuck in my room. It doesn´t seem like it but this page took me like 20 hours to finish, since they have around 12-15 pannels each. However even with all the stress I had, I am happy I did this project it was a great journey with you guys! and I am probably not returning to comics very soon this totally finished me! I want to take at least a week off without drawing to regenerate, and then I will start all the serious art. Hopefully I will open paypal comissions and make a bunch of trades with you guys! <3
so enjoy!

I would be very happy if you guys would give me some feedback about how you like the comic! I would like to hear your opinions on the story, characters etc. I would later write it into an essay I have to write after finishing this project. So a feedback from you would help me a lot! Thank you

I am all too familiar with the "real" ending, but I like to think that this one's story ends like this:

He DOES get locked out of his shelter, but before he freezes, Tasha is able to alert a janitor (also an indigenous Tasmanian), who comes to his rescue and warms him up in his office.  He states that, as the last of his kind, Ben deserves to be wild and free instead of being locked in a cage.  So, He loads Ben and Tasha (who refuses to leave his side) onto his jeep and drives to the edge of the wilderness where he releases them both, telling them to run until they can't see the road anymore.

The story concludes with Ben and Tasha walking through the forest, with Ben stating that, although he hasn't seen any of his own kind, he'll never be alone with Tasha by his side, even if he is the last thylacine.

This is  very sad comic. But it's really good. I would have loved to see the Thylacine but here in Australia. It's a shame they went extinct.

Rebel-Rider [2015-03-17 03:42:46 +0000 UTC]

Very good art and sad. I hope somewhere, a population managed to survive, though it's pretty unlikely.
I will say, I've known trappers and NONE of them skin animals alive. For one thing, skinning something that's fighting back is a lot harder than trying to skin something that's dead. People who sell fur, at least the wild-caught kind, normally have enough morals they won't try to cause an animal extra suffering. Some fur is also from animals killed in predator control, so saving the fur is just a good way to make sure that part of the animal gets used instead of rotting.

I really enjoyed reading this comic! You did the characters super well, and the pacing of the story was really well-done!  It's got kind of a sad ending too, but I really like how you left it open like that! You also did a super good at aging all the characters! I love flipping back and forth between the pages!  I hope you make another comic sometime! You're awesome!

At least they could have given ham a larger place to live in... Well, hopefully he coped with it and had a happy life as most zoo-animals here in Norway have (just saying, the wolves in our Zoo have a so bit area to live in that you almost never see them) :s
