I have officially made it.
I beat all the odds to get this in, and get it in at a state where it didn't look shoddy and half-assed. Between the move and my tablet dying, I had one of the larger obstacle chunks I've experienced in and OCT, and we all know how many things can interfere with finishing these comics. XD
I will be getting that color in, probably a lot of it today, simply because I loathe leaving inconsistencies like that, even though deadline is already passed. My comic can stand as-is, but I like the color. Plus, without color, how will you see that Sam actually gashed Riven's face open in that one panel?

RETROSPECTIVE.

I am really happy with the way it turned out overall. The pacing was kinda choppy, but it worked for the space and time constraints given. I don't think it's TOO hard to tell what's being done, and the general idea of what action is taking place.
The backgrounds become more and more of an obvious cop-out as the round progresses, but I feel that it's still a step past where I was before, as a person who avoided backgrounds like the plague, I'm forcing myself to think about them, and place things accordingly. It's the beginning of a process, and I'm frankly excited.
Monkeys' characters are really amazingly fun, and they had a brilliant story that we got to work with. If we progress, we will most definitely be touching on it again, and even work with Monkeys to reach a resolution, if she wants.

I loved Monkeys' round. It was clever and fun, and she made Riven so goofy, which made me smile. And her twist! WHAT A TWIST! *shot* I won't spoil anything, but you can check out her piece right here - [link]


As for me, I'm getting back to coloring.
