Description Third round entry for

Yeah, no real dialogues... I hope it's obvious enough what's going on, though. And actually, this was the only in-character solution I could come up with. You know, Alea likes explosions and Kyo does, too... and Kyo is pretty much of an egocentric so she can't just watch but has to do it on her own... hehe. I'm stupid, I know. |D

---

Before eveyone is wondering what's going on: I chose to do a special scenery for this round that was mentioned at the end of this round's announcement blog:

You've been separated from the group and need to get back into the game! But what happened?

It seems like you get to discover who caused all these problems! Alea the Echidna has caught wind of this tournament and went through creating havoc in the areas of the upcoming events. She has a huge crush on Tyler and has an annoying habit of causing huge destruction to get his attention!

However for this round, you will need to draw your character in the following situation:

Your character found a clue that would bring her to the perpetrator that has started causing problems for the tournament. You need to catch this perpetrator!! She's on the loose and is dangerous, we can't have that interfering here. So draw your character trying to get the one up on Alea so that Alea can no longer interfere with further progress in the tournament. Bringing this girl to justice will give your character immunity into the next round of the tournament. Failure sends you home.

Alea is an albino echidna with a love for explosives and destruction. She is an extremely mischievous character with a huge obsession with Tyler. She is not as strong as Knuckles would be but her speed and agility would be pretty comparable. She generally will try and avoid confrontations head on, she likes to set up traps and slip away unnoticed. However in this instance she is trying to recollect Tyler's attention back on her since he is obviously more focused on the tournament. She doesn't like that.

---

Okay, so far so good. Now to the more important question: Why the heck does this comic look so pathetic?! Because since thurday I seem to have caught a really nasty cold. To put it on a nutshell: Since that day my voice is fading away, my throat hurts like hell and I was even having fever on saturday... and I had to work that day for 8 darn hours so I couldn't do anything but falling into my bed right after I arrived back home. |D

I am also sorry for who probably wanted to see her character in my style. So I decided to draw her a picture of her character Moon just like this in the same style I did the comic. Actually, I planned a little aftermath for what happened after Kyo pulled the lever but because I my spontanous sickness I simply didn't have the power to make it through! I probably won't make it into the next round anyway... but I decided to push myself as far as I can because a forfeit would have been unacceptable for me. > <

I... didn't and still don't see anything like this listed at the end of the contest entry. Was this a special arrangement between you and Shanella?

Well, it actually was just mentioned down there at this journal: [link]
The very last thing on the bottom of the journal is: "If we have a rogue contestant please let me know because I do have something special planned for you."
I simply raised my hand there and she sent me a note that contained some of info I pasted into the description. I hope this answers your question. It didn't surprise me that you're a little confused about this, it's pretty unusual for a tournament.

I was mostly just confused because you did have a partner, but now I think I understand what happened.

Amarena-Berry In reply to miezukuri [2010-09-06 16:46:58 +0000 UTC]

I know, that was a pretty confusing part for me as well. But it clearly said "draw YOUR character"; there was nothing about my character's partner. I actually couldn't even draw her because my character got "seperated".
If I understood anything wrong here... well, my bad. However, right now, I'm drawing ~moni563 a little random picture of her character Moon as a little excuse I couldn't use her in this comic. D:

miezukuri In reply to Amarena-Berry [2010-09-06 17:09:38 +0000 UTC]

Oooooh. I think I got the source of the confusion! As I understand it, Shan was saying that if anyone didn't have a partner, to let her know, and she'd note you with a special scenario. I guess you didn't realize you had a partner, or didn't understand what she was saying, or something, and "volunteered" for it.

Either way, you did a great job, and even though it says you have immunity, good luck any way!

Amarena-Berry In reply to miezukuri [2010-09-06 18:06:32 +0000 UTC]

Oooooooh~ NOW I understand! Okay... I knew I'd have a partner, I just didn't understand her correctly because it said "rogue character" and stuff... but then again, I really wonder why she didn't tell me that I was mistaken there. After all, she set the teams together and she would have known that I have a partner... at least that's what I suggest since she's the admin of the group. *scratches head* I guess both of us failed at this point, then. xD *shot*

Naw, I hope both of us get judged in a fair way. Daww, this really fails. Oh well. orz
The irony of this is that, if I hadn't work one more day than expected and got sick the day after, I would have even added Moon in there... but like this, there wasn't enough time to do so. _ _;;
However, thanks for telling me, even if it was too late. |D

Fortunately, when I did the sketches and the inks, I still could put effort into it, but the whole coloring... done within one day... urgh. orz

Shh! Don't say such things!
It just look that you tricked everyone with a fabulous coloring only done in one day! XD
Sometimes, yeah, it like that. You spend like two minutes to make something cool, and everyone is like: HAAAA It's so great! >3<
And an another time, you try your best and spend hours and hours, and no one notice it...
So that way, sketching is unnoticed but it valorise your coloring in some way... D: I'm not sure if it's what I'm thinking, but nobody notice that, only colors: ho shiny shiny!! >X3

Amarena-Berry In reply to WhitePhox [2010-09-06 10:55:02 +0000 UTC]

It's just... annoying! I mean fine, for one picture, it's okay to draw one detailed background. I started trying for the past months, I really put a lot of effort into it just to realize I failed, but it doesn't matter because I tried! But for a comic? No way! Copypaste ftw! Dx

...

And this is where I start to worship these certain kinds of people who have the persistence to do a whole kickass-scenery just for ONE. DARN. PANEL. To set the plot. Multiple times in ONE comic. ARGH! orz

Sorry, it's probably just a bad timing to talk about backgrounds right now. It's the final round today, you know. Ahehe... I'm just being silly. Forget it. |D *shot*

hahaha i know and sometimes you don't need to draw the BG everytime even if is a strip, with an introduction is enough! i swear! but to me it looks very good still!

but it's alright, don't feel frustrated for it! it's only the BG =3 all you need to know is the correct angle, the rest is like painting the picture, you can take references from photos etc, don't need to stress much about it

keep up the great work!!!

I know it felt a little bit unfair which is why I'm going to draw ~moni563 a little picture of her Moon... as a little excuse. After all, I actually really wanted to add her character but... sickness... OTL
