Having completed this comic, I am going to impart some wonderful nuggets of knowledge unto you forumfolk:
  • When trying a new art program, don't try it with a 7 page comic. Try it on something small, to decide early if you don't like the program.
  • When making a seven page comic, make it 7 images.
  • When trying out a new art style, try it on something larger than a single character before trying it on something really really large.
  • Despite what I said about the last comic the floodfill tool really doesn't save any work and, with details, just makes everything harder.
  • Have colors in mind before sketching, to save trouble later.


Anyway here, picking up from Faw's last comic (with the Spirit Bomb):



Again, sorry about the delays. This puts me, like, 20 points behind. Doing so much wrong on this comic, though, has given me a lot of ideas on how to do better next time, and I'm somewhat itching to try out new methods. I'd hate to see this art battle end definitively so early.

What do you forum-people think? I feel I need some kind of penalty/disadvantage for being late, but near-automatically losing due to point penalty feels anticlimactic to me.
