I love the mood of this piece! Very stark! Great stuff to all involved!

This was a good Mosaic. The art and coloring are top notch. Particularly moving is the finger as it etches the name in the stone, I suppose that if the "J" just had a little upswing on the end, there wouldn't have been as much confusion as to what letter it represented.
Well done.

If anyone would befriend an alien species, out of all the Dinobots, it would definitely be Sludge.

Has the internet really destroy our sense of deceny to the point where that reads "slut" to so many? Apparently so.

Awww Sludgie. He's always been my favorite Dino. And very popular with the ladies.

A beautiful mosaic! Great art and a nice if tragic moment for an under used character.
I read slut at first too. Might be worth an edit to tweak it a bit. Of course it also works as a good Rorschach Test too

Wow, intense. And the style of the art is perfect for the mood of the story.
I'd say the name is Sluj, thus explaining Sludge's choice of his own name.

I like this a whole bunch. Sludge always did like alien women.

Thanks a whole bunch!
I've always enjoyed your work, I must say....clever stuff!

No offense to your eyesight, people, but why the hell would a supposed "T" be rotated 45 degrees away from the other letters?!? No matter how hard I try, I simply cannot see the word "SLUT" here.
It's "SLUJ". Alien name. Proper noun. If it's hard to understand, it's my fault alone.
By the way, it sounds the same as "SLUDGE"
Ring any bells?
There are other things on that page beside that one letter, y'know....

have to say I had no trouble reading "Sluj" - I was only left wondering if you'd spelled it that way as her natural spelling or a play on Sludge's famed stupidity that he couldn't even spell "Sludge" correctly

Hehheh
There are fans out there who THINK, after all!
...and wow, thanks so much for going through all that trouble and spelling it out for everyone! We're in your debt, kind mister!
Glad ya like it!

Sorry for the outburst, but I'm a bit annoyed that everything gets overshadowed by one stupid carved letter. If it ruined everything forever for ya, it's my fault and mine alone, and don't let that topple the rest of this piece.
Kudos to Mr. J.Z. for writing an extremely intense and moving story, and to Ms. Boone for engaging my heavy (and generally un-colourable) inks and emerging as a winner most brilliant!
Peace

Oi! I've coloured your inks! And it's dead easy!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, you did!
Those were different, not as heavily shadowed and solid-black-smudged as these...
...but totally HARDCORE in a whole different way, I dare to say
I still haven't seen that, btw....I presumed I'm not allowed to till the book is finished.
Sooo..a little peek on my e-mail, plz?

Hurrrmm... I'll have to check my hard drive.
A lot of stuff either got redistributed to flash drives or outright erased when I had my virus problems a while back. Any of the BWSC stuff will be safe somewhere - it's just a question of finding that 'somewhere' and pulling the file out.
Shaun's got it, in any case.
Incidentally, inks on BWSC are, a few minor details I need approval on notwithstanding, complete. I'll be colouring the last two pages and lettering the whole shebang after Auto Assembly.

And thank you again Seb! This piece turned out so much better than I had even envisioned.

Yeah, I don't get it. Who is "her"? And I also read "slut".
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
In the very second panel he mentions that she's a native. Since the story is set on planet Klo it means she looked like a small pink goblin - the planet appeared in the old marvel comics once. [link]
And speaking of the comics... Sludge befriended reporter Joy Meadows in the UK G1 comics back in the day and nearly got her killed by the 'cons when she planned to go public with her proof that not all the giant robots were evil. This story no doubt homages that relationship.
The name on the headstone is Sluj - it could be her natural spelling or an indication of Sludge's stupidity that he can't even spell such a simple word as "sludge" correctly

the last letter is a backwards L, not a T, so it says more like "Slul"

It's a J - it could be her natural spelling or an indication of Sludge's stupidity that he can't even spell such a simple word as "sludge" correctly

I like to think of it as a simple translation issue.

Why? He befriends a person on a planet where he was, the same way that Bee befriended Spike.
She died, because she befriends giant machines at war, and was crushed.
It's a tragedy.

I was thinking that the "her" was supposed to be major TF character.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe in some continuity, she was "a" character, but I don't think a major one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No one canonical, just a native that Sludge befriended during a mission to an alien world (which should be familiar to Marvel comics readers...)

I ought to read the Marvel TF stuff, I keep reading about neat stories therein!
