Description my farewell to LOST. i will miss it so much!

and because Ben is pretty much my favorite character, here he is.

sorry about the crappy crappy scan. my scanner at home is much different and more annoying than my one at school. as soon as i can, i will be uploading a better version of this.

great fun, although i really skimped out on the rabbit.
and of course, its bic crystal ballpoint on printer paper.

oh! and imput? i was thinking about just getting rid of the "i was lying" because i think it makes it more cheesy, but i also don't want a big empty area there, and i'm trying to decide which does less damage to the picture. what do you think?

I love this! And I think the text in the background is awesome. I'm a comic artist, and there's nothing essentially corny about text & image.

i think if you add the pen and try to fill in the white space, you'll still see the words, no matter how dark you color it. i like it the way it is- it's true to ben's character at the time (when he had the rabbit, still the leader, etc.) it's a good job, nicely done!

hmmm. you make a good point- i hadn't considered that. thanks for the insight. i'm glad you like, and thanks for the kind words. by the way, your signature is definitely one of my favorite lines from the whole show.

I think you should take it off. Especially after the finale... because Ben ends up rocking in the end.

And no worries about the scan... it's still utter awesomeness!

Ben has rocked from the beginning!
but i know what you mean. his character is so different in all of season six than in the earlier seasons, and the finale really showed that in a great way, i think.

PS I should add that I love this entirely. (Sorry, I was rereading my original comment and it comes across as snarky DX)

Ben's just awesome, for sure.

I agree. I love his story so much. And how Hurley was, like, the FIRST person in his life to reach out and say, "You're OK--will you help me?"

Don't get me wrong, there was something awesome about Evil Ben, but--still. So--I guess I dunno if you should shade-out the text or not... it's a good tribute to who he was for most of the show, for sure.

Oh wow; this is really great, he looks so menacing! Also, I don't think the 'I was lying' is a bad thing; I'd keep it around
