You indeed have a flare for screen play. Each panel is different and yet even without words it conveys your story perfectly and I am left breathless as it compels me to be drawn in to the world your art creates.

Basically, I love it. Marry me~

Hahaha- thanks I'm glad you like it! This is many years old by now, but I'm still pleased with this little comic.

Hey Nicholas, just wanted to say that after a few years, this is still one of my favourite short comics ever. I don`t exactly know why, but I think it`s because you really feel for those characters even though you see them only in two pages. It`s a great example of really efficient storytelling. You see who these characters are in two pages with no words and you automaticly wonder what they`ve been through before and why they react the way they do. Great storytelling! I also love the intense emotions in their eyes.

You know- this is still one of my favorite comics I've made? So it means a lot that you like it!
I hope I can hit on this same efficiency of storytelling again as I continue to make comics. Maybe as I go forward I'll wrap back around to where I started! Thanks for the kind comment

Not a problem!
My motto is: if you`ve done it once, you can surely succeed another time. So just keep up the great work!

The comic is amazing. The story was mindblowing and simple. I got pissed at the end (Anyone else want to help me pimp slap that blondie?)

Wow this is really good, though I'm confused with the whole Shanth Enjeti... and like who he is and stuff.

Wow...

your graphic-only comics like these make words seems like the most unnecessary things ever.

I think I truely hate you now. You're just too good. The story is heartwrenching yet simple, the art is expressive and beautiful. We're going to have to do something about you.

I find it ironic that the white brother's robe looks like a white (healing) mage's.

lathespianage [2007-09-27 23:39:32 +0000 UTC]

you've really successfully gathered the reader(?)'s sympathy and curiosity. the silence makes the tension soar high and provokes questions on what these boys had before this battle. Great job!!

inkhorse [2007-09-26 00:16:43 +0000 UTC]

I have just totally fallen in love with your art. the emotions you show, the figures, the tension, it just rings with life and potency. While not an obsession of mine, the scenes where siblings are forced to fight have always touched some place special in my heart....you have inspired me. Must go write tragic death scene! Anyway, I LOVE your art.

wow these pages were amazing. it really makes me wish that there was more of this story. the character design and style (especially of the creepy tall guys} is awsomness. i really love the colors as well and how you only showed the blood rather than anything else. greatnes!!

I love how the wall paintings sort of reflect their story as well <3 Brilliant - personally, I believe you succeeded in telling a story in two marvelous pages! Outstanding!

Omigod at the details! These totally rock! I love the passive paneling. You can tell exactly what's going on from the fierce expressions and motions in the characters, which are very interesting themselves. Another amazing job you've done! Cheers!

i LOVE what you've done with the pattern work on the wall, and then actually turned it into a image by itself with the bloodstains. its not there just for 'the pretty,' its actually useful. just little things like that show how thoughful you are with all of the different aspects of your work. aaawesome lighting in the big panel and that blood smear in the second to last is quite..pretty? nicely done i guess.
so cool!!

...duh...i'm in shock. you truly have such a talent, and i have to say, though this concept is amazing and heart wrenching, it would be NOTHING without your beautiful illustrations. *fave'd*

I have left precisely one comment on one picture in my entire tenure as a Deviant.
I'm going to cheat by blanketing your two Brothers panels and your Dumbledore vs Grindelwald comic with my highest praise.
Truly fantastic art.
