Ugh, finally my entry is DONE. Well, done enough anyways. XD

This is my entry for 's Roogoo contest that he's holding to promote his studio's new games for the Wii and DS. It's 1:25am right now, so I finished this one day before the deadline. Huzzah!

It's a re-enactment of the fight between Wander (Roogoo) and Gaius (the Prince), the third colossus from Shadow of the Colossus. There's a time attack mode in the game where you need to beat this guy in around 5 minutes, and there's this awesome trick that you can do to make this trial beatable. It's INSANELY hard to pull off though. This amazing feat is basically what my comic is about. Here's a youtube vid of someone using the trick: [link]

This was fun to do in theory, but it just takes SO LONG. The whole thing feels rushed to me too, considering the fact that I didn't enter the contest until two weeks after it was posted (leaving me with two more weeks) and I wasted the third week failing at a flash animation entry.

I was going to remake the intro to Ape Escape in flash with roogoos, but I knew I wouldn't finish in time (I'll never post it, IT'S TOO HORRIBLE FOR WORDS OAO' ). So then I did this instead.

There's just... so many problems I have with this. I was planning on cel shading this and such, but I just don't have the time anymore. My tablet pen also broke while I was working on this. One day, the eraser end just died on its own so I had to make due without it. And then there's the issue of proportions and continuity and blah blah blah. I know I can do better, but not in such a short time. XD
