Description
My final page for Chapter 8, and my greatest work hand-down.Now if you excuse me, I'm going to take a breather from SW stuff until next chapter starts. But please, load me with comments aboutmy greatness! lol! I'm definately not going to be modest about this one! And give an applaud to Kost for allowing me to use his group shot from the start of this whole thing! And my pardons to Angela, whose excellent lettering I had to cloud up to fit it properly into the background.

The compliments are greatly appreciated. ^^
BUT GAH, now I'm stuck in my SW addiction again, why must it take so long for next chapter to begin... XD

Yeah, the wait can sometimes be unbearable!

Especially for contributors of my caliber. With all due respect, he needs to get the ball rolling. XD

Yes, how many pages do you figure you've contributed thus far to the project?
π: 0 β©: 1
To be fair, I've counted a few times, but I always forget the page count. I am aiming to have produced at least 100 pages by the end of this though.

Wow...ever think about printing them all out into one cohesive story book?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh no. Unless we can get everyone's consent to print the WHOLE thing, then it's not worth it. One TPB per chapter would be enough. XD

Wow...that would prove to be insanely expensive!

Yeah, but I happen to know that Ka-Blam are usually reasonable. ^^

"Gather around me kids for I have to tell you a story from long time ago..."
"Yay! Gramps Virtus is telling Storys again!"
*stops being stupid*
Great Group-shot.

Lol, now that would be a fun image. XD
Thanks. Sorry Tilia couldn't be there, but I didn't want to mess up loose plot threads. Xd
π: 0 β©: 1
totally.
No problem.

Or she could just ask for a resumΓ© next chapter. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
It will be most likely that. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah... Gah, this wait for the next chapter is already getting unbearable. XD

Know what you mean... luckly I have enough other things to do.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, so do I, but being unemployed means that I get bored easily. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
That is the problem with too much time around. Instead of doing what is to do people do... nothing.

Oki enough thinking how to comment it- it's time to type down something constructive 
Anyway.
Firstly- colours. Juicy colours! ^3^ I just adore them! I don't know why but everytime the colours draw my attention first- except V's expression of course. The colour of the sky is definitely my fav here. Like a plum 
Secondly -the idea and the perspective. ^^ I can imagine how huge effort you put into this pic but still I suspect you had fun with it nvertheless huh? 
The funniest thing here... it takes some time to spot whee V actually is. XD To find him you have to look half-naked guy with a sexy mask of Zorro...Mmm piece of cake >3
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it's a woman. The spiked breasts should be clue enough. XD Kidding, kidding.
And yeah, it was fun to put together. ^_^
Haha, Virtus doesn't walk around half naked to be easily spotted. But meh, whatever. XD

sooooo awesome, being blinded by greatness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
sadness about Whit's hat though, does Virtus think Whits dead now?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, this time, I am the greatest. ^^
No, Whit lost his hat before they saw one another again, so V's seen him without it. But he still considers the possibilities that this chapter has seen the death of more of his friends. And he's right.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wonder if Virtus will let Whit give him a big hug when they meet again?
π: 0 β©: 1
Perhaps. Once he hears of Charybdis and Jansen's death, he's going to need all the comfort he can get.
π: 0 β©: 1
Whit will give the lad some support, he's seen enough death over the years to deal with it better then Virtus might.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah, it is, isn't it?
π: 0 β©: 0
Is it just me or do the second group of heroes seem more sinister in appearance compared to the first team?
Awesome image man, You've really out done yourself on this epic image. This will no doubt rank along some of the finest images in the whole series of Secret Wars
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I think we should always try to look past exterior looks. ^^
Indeed I did. Now I'll just sit back and enjoy what you others cook up. ^^

9001 out of 10.
More than Great AMAZING! Keep that work up!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks a lot, I am quite proud of it. ^^

This is insanely awesome! An piece truly worthy of closing out the chapter!

Thank you kindly, pal.

Great picture!
Defiantly a

Yeah, sorry bud, that was cause you said he'd be in an explosion and have most of his costume destroyed, so I didn't know what to do. So he's having his injuries tended to off-screen in my mind. ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, no his costume is fine, but his powers are gone. It's part of the base that will be destroyed. (to hide what happened.) 
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, get it done. I did 14 pages within the submission period, you have no excuse, lol! Kidding, can't wait to see you fill in the blanks I left with the unexplained explosion in page 12.
π: 0 β©: 0
Much appreciated, I definately deserve it. XD
π: 0 β©: 0
i hoped for a bit more dialogue/monologue XD but you put lots of work into this one anyway, good job XD
...wish i was done already...
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, I wanted to keep it simple. Besides, too much text and it would cover up the splash page too much. The rest of Virtus long story happens within the pause between Chapter 8 and 9. XD
Yeah, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, pal. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
i plan on doing some "between chapters" pages to kill waiting time XD
for example an extending scene featuring you know who when you know who completed you know what page XDD
i see this as a challenge XD until now i didnt think that i am able to keep such an output going XD
π: 0 β©: 1
And it's about halfway done pal, I've seen the colours. ^^
Well, between pages will still be moved to their proper chapters where Kost sees them fit. XD
Same here. By the end of this venture, I can't wait to see how much of this productivity I can put into my own projects.
π: 0 β©: 1
cant wait to see it XD
yeah, eventually, but i rather meant doing some extra pages between the chapters to fill plotholes or tying up loose ends in general XD
hey, 3 pages a day is a good rate to earn money as a comic book artist XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Neither can I, as I'm desperately wanting for her to finish the monologue. XD
Ah, now I catch your drift. ^^
Well yeah, but I want some ammount of quality too. And that won't happen until I get an A3 scanner. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
who said its a "she" we are talking about here? XDD
prying eyes are everywhere! XD
yeah, kost has just a terrible timing when it comes to new chapters and my holidays XD
so i want to spend my holidays with at least some of secret wars XD
and i guess you'd enjoy some extra pages aswell XD
a3 scanners are very expensive XD
i think its cheaper to buy a new pc and a drawing tablet XD
π: 0 β©: 1
XD Yeah, yeah, my finger slipped, okay? Sorry. XD
For me, I pretty much have nothing but holidays right now. XD
I have a tablet. And hey, I LIKE sketching traditionally. Sorry, but there are some things I just don't feel like doing in the computer. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
using your fingers as a scapegoat? XD
well, then do some extra sw stuff XD
or work on your portfolio or on the script for you know what XD
as long as you keep learning stuff, theres nothing wrong about it XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Hey, we all make mistakes. The fingers are a part of me, and therefore still my fault. XD
Definately no more SW art until next chapter, I have other stuff do in between. ^^
If you look on some of my first SW pieces from one year ago, you'll definately see improvements made along the way.
