Holy cripes I never realized how perfectly evil a combo that could be. The utility of zombies combined with the speed of raptors... Make the movie before some company steals it and rakes in all the cash.
This was goddamn epic. If you ever decide to make an ongoing comic out of the idea of Adrian and Pollux screwing stuff up only to have Airla come save the day, just know that I'd totally slap down some cash for it.
Woweee oh wow. Nice work, way to try to include everything people randomly spouted off on top of it all. The seismography panel was my fave too, nice way to show a big hit without the typical comic "cloud of dust and big BOOM letters" that you see a lot these days.
Good stuff EG. You got a coherent story, pulled it together with good action and dialog, not to mention you made those pages each in around an hour, AND you got all those suggestions in. Awesome.

Serious props, good to see you've got your story telling tightened up, did you script all that before hand or just go down the grocery list as your went along? You're a speed demon, the montage pages are some of the best in there, dishing out this level of stuff on the fly- you're totally cut out for Battle Tourney but you deserve to be getting paid for this stuff by now. How'd the GN sell?

I was being informative.

well done EG, top notch, you really need to send your portfolio off to some high end peoples, you should definitely be getting some legal tender for this.
That was a wild one, please dont´EVER let me do that again.
My sleeping cycle is STILL messed up, last night I waited all night to watch a show thinking it was still tuesday.
Where did tuesday go anyway, couldn´t have slept through it, could I? ^_^
Anyway,thanks, guys, really glad you´ve liked my stuff.
Looking back, there´s a lot of things I wish I could have done, one of them being the list which I still failed to complete.
The other was Airla, I just couldn´t find a way to render her in 30-40 minutes in a way that people would uinderstand that she had a granite body.
When I first started this, I had only a couple lines in my head. Everything from the "The lioness wa born in the arena" to "But you can´t encase a will of steel in granite" (rock beats paper, steel beats rock ), I wrote it on a sheet during morning coffee as I was assembling ideas for what the story was gonna be about.
The reason why Airla wears plain clothes instead of the originally planned revealing skintight suit is not because she´s a prude girl.
After all, she was in showbiz (well, she WAS a gladiatrix in ancient Rome ).
No, the reason why I decided to give her tight high boots and sache to Adrian and Pollus instead is that I kept looking at other superheroines I designed over the years and I just couldn´t top those in the anxious 10 minutes I had before getting started.
I think the story´s key moment was Airla herself.
For the first 4-6 pages, I was still trying to be a good boyscout, play-by-the-rules.
I just couldn´t bring myself to rationalise a redheaded asian gladiatrix in ancient Rome.
Then it dawned upon me:" E, this is a story about giant armoured gorillas wearing kilts and alien killer snails with machineguns!!
Logic? WHAT logic?"
By the time golden girl Margerites enters the scenne (she was really shoehorned in there, wasn´t she?), I was just trying to keep the line of narrative flowing, not caring of where it took the story.
All in all, it was fun. Exhausting but fun.
Lesson learned:
anxiety is your single worst enemy. I was so nervous going in that by the time I actually sat down to start sketching page#1, I was already tired.
If you guys ever do this, don´t put much thought into it. Go out, play some videogames, watch movies, make out. Try to completely clear up your mind from the task ahead. It´ll help you preserve your resources for when the time actually comes.
Whew.
I think I´m gonna watch some tv now.
My innervoice kept winking at me the whole morning:" Nice job, kiddo. Hey, now that you´ve done pencilling them....how about inking those pages?"

I really hate my innervoice.
P.S.: So, anyone caught the Obelix cameo at the bottom right of page 12?
Many props. Given the constrained time fame, you packed a lot of interesting panels and surprisingly ungeneric action in there. The seismic thing was spot on.

Nice job! :^: More, more!
I've been trying to get myself together for some time to try something like this - and it's really difficult!
My hat is certainly off to you.
