WHAT I HAVE TO SAY

Mmhh... *nods head softly* No turning back for our dark hero... He is going to need all the strength he can get to defeat the true form of Biolizard which is codenamed by the great Dr. Gerald Robotnik as 'Final Hazard'.

Will Shadow make it without the help of his newly entrusted friend Sonic the Hedgehog? Is it not that the odds of beating such a vile monster at his full strength very little?

Shadow thinks not. He is focused. He is well aware of the consequences if he fails then it is all over. But one thing he does know for sure is this - he will succeed. He will win for everyone who had given him hope and who had shown him the light of a brighter future.

Let's all cheer for him, for the battle of Earth's survival will depend on him.

P.S. Thank again to my fantastic friends who had commented on my previous page! I've learnt a great deal and I hope to get back to you soon. Take it easy guys and keep up the awesome works too! *thumbs up* XX3 ^__~

Wow... this whole comic is brilliantly done, but I absolutely LOVE this page; you capture the two sides of Shadow's personality perfectly. The tender look on his face in panel #2 is adorable (almost Sonadow-esque, but not quite), and the immediate switch back to badass is wonderfully in-character.
Overall? This is awesome! Yay for you! ^.^

Looks like Shadow means business! That's gotta be my favorite panel on this page! It sets the mood and abruptly changes the tone of the story!

Wow, awesome! Shadow's gonna kick that Lizards Scaly ASS! Haha!
Can't wait to see the other 2 pages, sorry I didn't comment earlier, yesterday was my birthday, and I was at a party all day, so I didn't get much time. ^_^; But this is really good, I wonder what Shadow's gonna do next, he's showing some real unpredicability in these recent pages, and I'm always wondering what he's gonna do, or say next. Well done, I don't often do 'Thinking'. XD

Keep the pages coming right until the end!

I love this manga.

As always, you make wonderful comics as always. Great job with all the panels that you have drawn out here, all of them look real useful and are perfect in my opinion.
First panel I really adore a lot. Looks as though Shadow is using his hands to makes Sonic go to wherever he's going. Great job with the shadings and how you did the outlines in here. I love how you drew Shadow in the 2nd panel here, he looks so happy that Sonic will be a bit safer on, I'm guessing the ARK, then Sonic being awake and fighting the Final Hazard. I also like how you did the 3rd panel here. Shadow looks so angry, what a change of expression! =3 And for the last panel, the space and the planets are just wonderful! I like how you did the back side of the biolizard and also have Shadow in the forground. I like how you have Shadow looking back at the lizard, and I like how you did the fire like effects around him and the Final Hazard.
Sorry I'm not commenting much at this moment, I've gotta go. But excellent job as always Darkspeeds, I'll comment this page again next time. ^^

MilesTailsPrower-007 [2005-07-16 04:44:38 +0000 UTC]

Awwwwww. =]

The caring pleasantness in his expression is kind of surprising. It automatically makes me think of the pages where he's remembering his times with Maria. This shows that he really did care for Sonic as his new friend and all. Right after, though, his expression shifts to a solid and furious one. He's detirmined to finish this, for everyone!

SUPER SHADOW: Alright, that's it.
BIOLIZARD: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAR (Translation: What did I ever do to you, puny guy?!)
SUPER SHADOW: You HOGGED THE NIGHT-LIGHT! >=/
BIOLIZARD: .... *sweatdrop*

Awesome idea drawing that aura around him as he heads back toward the final hazard. The perspective showing a wide shot of the earth below turned out very nicely. You can tell this is important, and that Shadow has found the right moment to head back for another strike. I liek the patches of starry space around him. The digital blackness is so nice and solid. XD I can't wait to see Shadow finish this!

oooh nice, at last the final battle is here!!!

that one momment that decides everything!!!!

well in this case we know the ending but you like to play with people's heads lol i can only expect some kind of a heavy twist somewhere that's gonna make everyone go into shock *poke* you're good at doing that heh

and this is pretty much perfect too, the one thing that i'm kind of "wtf?" like us the last panel, it kinda looks like he's missing his eye socket hehe but it's really hard to catch i just kinda looked at him and felt there was sometin weird about it, but that's ok, he's lookin away so it makes sense for it to be like that

really can't wait to see more of this, i'm sure it'll be worth the wait

That is actually a manga technique for the readers to interpret Shadow's expression using thier own feelings and emotions for that situation at that time. ^_~

Gosh thank you so much for commenting so much bro! I've yet to catch up with some of your other ones for a reply! I'm really excited in knowing how the reader is feeling as they follow the journey of the manga artist producing each page and presenting another fragment of the story that they are enjoying so much. ^__^

I hope the next page will follow up well to this one! ;__; *chuckle* XXD ^__^

I luff the caring expression on Shadow-kun's face in the first panel... when he warps Sonikku-san back to the others. That smile... those eyes... make me feel so very happy~ nvn The art itself is so neat... it looks like you really worked hard on this... this whole manga! :3 Great job on this page, Mister Elson -- can't wait for more~! ^u^

Project-Shadow [2005-07-15 23:35:34 +0000 UTC]

^^ I like Shadow's caring smile after he warped Sonic to safety. It looks like something he would only show when there was nobody to watch

The sudden change of mood in the next panel is really cool. He looks focused, kinda like he took care of one thing, and is shifting to the next. *grins* I imagine him turning around to face the Biolizard now with that "i'm gonna kick your butt" overconfident looking smirk on his face

Awesome job Darkspeeds, keep it up!

Pachamac [2005-07-15 18:05:51 +0000 UTC]

A remarkable page and yet another one drawn superbly. First of all this page succeeds in dramatic tension and makes me feel all giddy inside... the end is approaching and this part, just before is about to begin... is incredible. The tension you create in such a page is remarkable and the feeling that is does project is evidence of it doing well and is something that should be felt. Well done for achieving that.

Panel 1: A very well done and remarkable panel, definitely one of my favorites here. Shadow's pose is very successful and the way in which he removes Sonic looks amazing, particularly the small speed lines, energy flowing to the area. Very nice. ^^ The background also looks particularly fantastic and is a nice return after the last few pages where background hasn't been so heavily used.

Panel 2 is great and it looks like it follows the style set by the other panels in avrious pages of Shadow facing in that angle, although here on the other side. Well drawn and a particularly strong expression. It rounds off the scene with Sonic very well, which is great.

And now, here we get to the good part, which just proves that sometimes actions speak louder then words... remarkable. Shadow's close up and intense glare on Panel 3 is very strong and suits the scene well, envoking the tension I mentioned earlier. The line art is interesting and works very well here, I wonder how did you do this? Smudging in Photoshop?

And Panel 4 is like the creme de la creme. A pause in the action just before it starts, and this is here where the tension grows even more. There's absolutely nothing needed to say it... it's just amazing. Shadow's pose is great and the perspective is particularly good, showing Shadow's target in front of him, and of how close he actually is towards Earth. The background is also very detailed and works extremely well too, adding to the drama and the tense situation.

In all, an incredible page with little to no faults that I can see. The drawings are well done but I still feel the most powerful and well accomplished aspect here is the tension you've created, which just gives me goosebumps and excitement for the next page! Roll on, Darkspeeds!

As for this page: Shadow is such a SWEETIE. ;__;! *Lovehugs him* The second panel makes me just wanna cuddle him forever, judging by what's gonna happen... *Weep* And the third panel goes back to the sezzy badboy hedgehog I looove. *Fangirl shriek*

This page is such a huge GASP factor,really.Now that Sonic and his freinds are safe,Shadow plans to make the entire world safe...no matter the cost.Black and white really fit it now more than ever,because this is the simple black and white truth.Shadow is going to save the world,but he's not going to see it,or anything else,ever again.....I need my tissues again! *sob*

Neifirst [2005-07-15 13:37:02 +0000 UTC]

Well, this is a very good page. It took me a few seconds to realize what had happened in panel 1 until I remembered the chaos controlling in the previous page. Although now I see the smal "drops" indicating where Sonic was, I thing you should have made a little more of them, as they can be mistaken for stars in the background; it's no big deal though. *shot*
The second panel shows Shadow's feelings very well, both his words and his expression are so well done! The white background and the aura add to that effect quite well, too!
The third panel is my favourite. The close-up to Shadow's eyes show him focusing all of his energy and thoughts into the task of saving earth from the Finalhazard.. I just love it! ^^
The last panel gives us a good overview of the surroundings, after most of the panles were focused onthe characters, we get to see someof the background, too! ^^ I like how you drew the landmass, although the Finalhazards rear takes some of the enjoyment from it! *shot again*
Hehe, great page alltogether, keep up the good work and inspire me even further like you always do! I'm eagerly awaiting the next pages!

Well, you've done it again, Elson.

Panel 1: Well, Shadow Chaos Controled Sonic on the safe place. It's on ARK no debuth. Of course, the question if he (and they) are really safe still exists.

Panel 2: Shadow, happy to see that he's on a safe place (or is he?).

Panel 3: The typical Shadows evil look. Boy, Biolizard is in big trouble now.

Panel 4: Oh yeah. This one is looks the best. The outer space, with stars few planets (I wonder which one are they) and the last but not least the approching danger that is coming to destroy the Earth. But what's with Finalhazard? Shouldn't he suppose to be attached to ARK?

Oh, sorry if I'm a bit copycat on the whole panel thing, okay?

Good question asked! (sorry if I hadn't replied to it earlier! X_X;; XXD) Final Hazard in my version has released the ARK from it's rear end and is using it's own body as a final weapon (i.e. bilogical missle). More will be explained by the great scientist Gerald Robotnik in future pages. ^_~
