I must applaud Bobbi for her great choices and applications of the colors, mainly the explosions and the last space panel

Better late than never! *destroyed*
Well in any case, Bobbi's awesome coloring job is striking and brilliant! ^__^ I still love it how you combined digital effects and posed the characters in their own perspectives and viewpoints.. THe text also is a good combination and I love the aligning of the panels! I'll go check the next page to comment on!

Fantastic job on this! I think the best aspects of this page are the coloring job and the panel layout. I also think you portrayed all the characters in the middle pannel very well in regards to thier likely responce to the situation. Again, tremendous job on this page as well as the preceeding pages.

Awww, Shadow seems so sweet! Yet I can't help feeling sorry for him! ^_^; Awesome work!

hey, I love how you make the colour, and the expression is awesome 
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow, this is a really good page, I really like Shadow's realisation at the bottom, and his expression...makes him really cute for some reason
The top panels are also very impressive
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow, so much is going on in this page it's just, mind blowing! O_O But I'm so loving how you two worked so hard to make everything in this comic page quite splendidly. ^_^ Wonderful job overall you two!
I know the first panel is a bit small and is half covered up by that gigantic screaming text the Final Hazard is saying, but I say that it's outstanding! I like the huge explosion coming from the Final Hazard and Shadow flying away from the thing before he gets killed. I just adore the bright look on the explosion and how the brilliant colors somehow make this inside of the panels come to life.
And as for the secound panel you outlined, the Final Hazard is so detailed looking in here and I just love how you drew his mouth wide open in here as he's feeling the final blow that's making him in such pure pain. And that third panel with the whole space showing, makes him look like he's yellin extremely loud. Bobbi did excellent with the lovely colorings, and I must say everytime I see the colors, the colors always seem to fit perfectly in my opinion. And I like the awesome details you did the the outlines and how you drew each character out as well as the space and ARK. By the way, the bloody like texts really brings out the feeling the Final Hazard is having. ;3
I simple like how everyone in the ARK is absolutly thrilled to see Super Shadow and Super Sonic final defeat the Final Hazard once and for all. I like how Tails is cheerking about with that adorable expression on his face, Amy crying with joy on how the Final Hazard is defeat, or how Sonic is alright ( XD; ) , Knuckles giving that smirk on his face and congratulating both Shadow and Sonic, Rouge breathing out a sigh for the fight is finallly over, and how Eggman is using a handkercheif to swipe the sweat off his forehead from being scared. X3 I like the expression on their faces and how their positions are drawn in very well here. Again, great job with the details here.
I like how Shadow is thinking, as well as the expression he has on on his face. I like how you added in Super Sonic in the bottom left corner here along with Super Shadow's back ion the last panel. I also adore how you added in all the cheerings all the characters on the ARK are saying, they simply fit in with how Shadow is thinking.
A million times I have to say is that the both of you work together splendidly and I absolutly admire how both of you work really hard to made such accurate details and everything so beautifuly. Tremendous work the both of you, keep up the excellent work. ^^

WOW!!! this page, is awsome!!! looks so cool and unique!!! you too make a really awsome work!!! ^0^
Love the face of Shadow, in the last panel, hum... but... it hasen't finish yet... right? in the game they destroy Final Hazard... but the colonie, was still moving... well... can't wait to see!!!
Awsome work, buddy ^0^ and awsome coloration Bobbi
see ya

WOW 
π: 0 β©: 0
Wooo, I like the weird font thing spanning across the first panel. The shadow thingy to it looks all... bloody or something. XD
You kinda made a mistake on the last panel, though. It says "I knew they won't fail." It should be 'wouldn't fail', since 'won't' is sort of future tense, whereas the sentence isn't. ^___^;; Anyhow, Shadow's use of vocabulary sounds really good. It's actually quite fitting of the moment, too. Awesome job drawing everyone onboard cheering for their two heroes. You really found good ways of doing it-- Tails with his super enthusiasm for his best buddy, Amy with tearful joy that things worked out, Knuckles with his subtle smile, Rouge with her sigh of relief, and Eggman relieved that the planet he wants to rule wasn't blown to pieces. XD
Well drawn as always, sweetie. =]

Can you say pwninated? Biolizard looks like he got served in this page. Nice effect on adding the blood behind the text; it adds to the "painfulness."
Eggman looks sad there, but I don't know why. Perhaps they're tears of joy?
The end of the page was awesome as well. I really like what Shadow said, because he's exactly right? I mean, wow, I'm really happy to know the feeling when someone is grateful for some sort of help that one offers.

Oh mah gawd, how long it took downloading this page! O_O;;
Well this was worth the waiting.
Oh mah gosh...this page looks Amazing, Awesome, Great etc. etc. I just love the other sonic charas expression. ^.~ Well, I dunno what more to say...Keep up the good artwork Darkspeeds! :#1

hell yeah! that's the reality of what shadow would be thinkin at the momment. you really grasped that well bro! what did you do? put yourself in his shoes? (hehe i do that a lot XP. i get a lot more out of the characters than just know what they're doing there XD) can't see the last few pages XD the ending of that game's pretty cool. until sega messed it later on but that's another story hehe

Truly God Like! All three of your last submissions have been great. "I can't comment like I want to, being very short on time".
Your doing a great job displaying the emotional side. How everyone has their own way of showing happiness and relief. Well.. except for maybe eggman@!!
And of course Shadow's expression is just grand. THAT IS THE MOST *WTF* FACE I'VE EVER SEEN 
The coloring is great, but I'm looking foward to seeing your shading again. I'm not sure how to say this: But they just don't seem to have the same "impact/strenth" or something. Not that Bobbi isn't doing a wonderful job. Well nevermind that. LOL
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah, i'm loving the expressions, and the word ambiance.I never use that word...mostly cause I dont know what it means...
π: 0 β©: 0
The coloring is much better on this page. My favorite panel is the 3rd one with the group of the character. The character themselves came out great. I like the effects that were implemented into this. Excellent job on the backgrounds too.

Gosh... I feel all weird inside... like if I was in tune with Shadow... I mean, his reaction to the cheering... just... priceless... I can't possibly describe how I felt when I read this page... *closes eyes and smiles* ...Elson, you really can put a new feeling into a story that we know(some of us so well...) and make it a whole new experience. Next time I'll play SA2B it'll surely give a new feeling with me that I just didn't think of before. Well done, my friend... Well done. *opens eyes and winks*
I also love the other characters' reactions to the Β«victoryΒ»... So much like them... That's something I specially love and admire in your comics... You get exactly the characters' personality. The characters who we love, acting the way they're made to do it.
I'm running out of things to say... Except... Awesome work... And take care! ^_^

Wow. Awesome. Sheer Brilliance.
Eggman crying is so great, I laughed at that bit.
Shadow seems happy to get some cheers and applause! Well, not a long comment here, because I've already told you how awesome your art is!
Keep up the good work!

Aw, that almost made me cry. IMO, much more fitting in terms of character and scene than the last one.

Heh^^ Shadow is in shock from the overwhelming happiness of doing a good deed

Another great piece of work Elson, but you no doubt knew that already, eh?
I really like the first three panels which deal well the after effects of SuperShadow's devastating kick there. Brilliantly done, specifically how it exploded and the biolizard's expression is like "Raaaarrrrrrwwwghhhhh! That hurt! I'm telling my mommy! T_____T" Seriously, even though he the enemy and the fact that he's an incredibly wierd monster design, I definitely felt the pain within all that. The sound effect of his roar looks great and the font is terrific, the blood type of effect is brilliant and definitely helps to make it look as though it was really painful. Poor, Biolizard.
The third panel rocked for showing the outer space landscape and SuperShadow scuttling back to near SuperSonic
Panel 4βs just great and it shows the reactions of the other characters very well and itβs so cool. Each characterβs reaction is slightly different, but perfectly in character of their own personalities which is great. Tailsβs cheer of relief, Amyβs almost lovestruck expression of the heroesβ efforts, Knucklesβs slight laid back expression where he simply has a clenched fist of power, Rougeβs sigh of relief in such a cool pose, and Eggmanβs sweating which is great. All he really cares about is his life, eh?
Panel 5 and 6 are absolutely brilliant in showing SuperShadowβs thoughts of the reactions from the other heroes and about how good a thing the two are actually doing. 
The colouring throughout is simply amazing, and super big kudos to Bobbi on an incredible job here. ^^ The tones are perfect and the areas of light and darkness are captured brilliantly and the scene looks incredibly vivid. It really is an incredibly job and she did it superbly.
Yβknow what would make all this more cooler, though? If it really was a graphic novel, and just holding this series in my hands whilst reading it and experiencing its brilliance would be toooooo cool.
I canβt see any faults or areas of improvement at all within this page, Elson. It really is an incredibly tight and well done job.

Wow, I've never seen shadow in an emotion quite like taht before!
One thing, how do you know how to ink so well? I mean I've seen some people ink with the outside outside really bold and it gets thinner as it goes in...but this is quite different, but yours is more comic-like and I like it!
My question is, how do you know what to make bolder and what not to make bolder? o.o *favs*
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh wow, Darkspeeds! ^^ Your comics are coming along so greatly! ^^ Your drawings are remarkable and the expressions are just fantastic! The inking is simply great, and the colouring is amazing! Please keep up the great work! I simply LOVE your art and comics! ^___^

"The Final Hazard was destroyed, but the poor naive fools didn't know that what they did changed nothing, for Geralds plan has already succeded." Hex darkly said.
Well, what can I say, you and Bobbi did it again.
The color on every character came out just as I (or better to say WE) expected.
It's just too bad that Biolizard didn't burst into flames like in Sonic X version (I liked that effect so much T_T).
The explosion effect came out better than I imagened, as well as "the voice in Shadows head".
Can't wait for the next page to see their reaction, when they realize that it's not over yet.

Hey wait a minute... HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT??? O___O;;; *SHOT* XXD
Have you been secretly reading my script? How you been tapping into my thoughts? How and why? Alas the world will never know! *SHOT again* XXXD
Seriously buddy how did you know that it's actually not over yet...? (oh wait... Now I know... u_u;;;... *goes and checks out the titles I wrote in the journal*) Ah... Right!
Well anyway do look forward to the next few pages Ja-The-Shadow-Hunter cuz things are going to heat up! X3 (and what? He burst into flames in Sonic X? Cool! I still haven't watched that part yet because I didn't want that to influence the story outcome of my perspective on SA2 Fan-Comic, I'd prefer if I base my perceptions from the original game. ^_~)

HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT??? O___O;;;
Your reactions on are just priceless, Elson.
I know the original plot, even though I haven't even play the game (but I really wish I could. When will they finnaly release the SA2 DX ?!), not because of Sonic X but because some other thing.
Well, to tell the truth it's better that you don't watch it until you've finished your plot. The whole thing is the same, except the ending is worser than in the original stroy.
So stick on your old path and continue, pal.

How could the Biolizard be set on fire anyway, what with the lack of oxygen and stuff in space, anyway.
And I don't understand what you mean by a Sonic Adventure 2 DX, Ja.

In Sonic and Shadow hit the giant generator on Biolizards back. (in Biolizard is air, isn't it?) [link]
When I said SA2 DX I ment a game that works on PC.
If SEGA could make an improved version of SA (SA DX) why couldn't they make one of SA2.

They did! =]
There's SA2 for Dreamcast, and SA2 Battle for Gamecube. The versus modes are different (you don't have to unlock Amy and stuff), and the chao gardens actually look quite a bit different! Although the Gamecube version of SA2 (SA2B!) wasn't changed as much as the Gamecube version of SA (SA DX), it was kind of different. SA DX was just improved graphically, and given the additions of Mission Mode, and unlockable GameGear games.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I know all that, but I want that they would relese a version that works on PC.
I don't have Game Cube or Dreamcast and I don't mean to spend tons of money on it just so that I can play one game.
