well, round two of *
DeviantDead has come to a full close, and nope, i won't be going on...
i don't regret anything, or feel that the judging was in any way unfair. i gave my best and was outdone by the lovely miss ~
Synicalsel fair and square.
lolrhymes in all honesty i'm grateful that the round ended up the way it did, since had i been chosen to go on, i think i would have had to drop out, or seriously comprimise my comic-making in order to keep up with school and my internship. the way things are now, i can finish out strong as opposed to having to half-ass the next batch of comics c:
the only regret i have regarding my comics is honestly purely my doing: namely that i didn't get the chance to tell you julien's story! she's still got some plot-twists up her sleeve, as does mike, and if possible, i would like to get a chance to draw out what i had planned c: hopefully this can come to fruition, since i'm itching to make use of the critiques i got on my last round, and wrapping up the backstories for these two seems the perfect opportunity.
i guess i'll just have to wait and see...
for now, the name of the game is schoolwork, which obviously has to come first in any case... and three AP classes, an internship and a history-day project as well as well as the looming issue of college are certainly enough to keep me busy c:
the art will obviously keep coming: between mike and julie's possible backstories, portfolio work for school, a still glaringly unfinished twilight flash and a collaborative project with the lovely miss ~
Psycho-Assassin there will most definitely be more to come c:
that's about it folks!
so now instead of listening to me blather, i highly suggest you go check out all the wonderful entries for *
DeviantDead and if you haven't already, go read ~

I have to say, THAT was a pretty close round.
It’ okay if you didn’t get to tell Julien’s story. :] There are plenty of opportunities in the future. I will say that you are improving with her. [Good] critiques are there for a reason; not only to make sure we don’t make the same mistakes again but also giving us something to think about and what we can improve.
As I said before, I’m looking forward to seeing more from you. Don’t let anyone take your ever-growing spark away. <3
i feel like i finished out on the best possible note though, so i regret absolutely nothing
thank you so much for all your support blue, you are truly sweet... ;u;
you have been so incredibly supportive and kind to everyone throughout this tournament... you are truly sweet c:
of course you're absolutely right in regards to tournaments... especially as time moves along, seeing characters you were really becoming attached to leave is hard... but such is the nature of the beast i suppose
in either case i'm definitely looking to tie up both mike and julie's loose ends with some backstory comics c:
thank you again for all the lovely feedback and comments, and much luck to you in round three: i'm really looking forward to seeing where you go with the charlie/brian/joshua trifecta!
In the meantime, I will be flipping through your pages and Michael and Julien's ref because I realized I never got a chance to draw them...!
i feel like i'm writing the same comment over and over, but really: words cannot describe how wonderful everyone from this tournament has been! ;u; this has without a doubt been the best experience i have had so far here on devart
...and may it be it known that i am currently resisting the urge to simply bang my hands against the keyboard for lack of any kind of coherent english sentence capable expressing the amount of glee filling me at the thought of julie/mike art from you *A*
time and again i am so amazed at how sweet everyone in this competition is! i never would have thought that a midnight whim and a rushed page worth of comic would have ever gotten me into something this good
you guys have got me convinced... backstory comics will be made!
Seriously. I was so certain your Round 2 would take the gold medal and wipe its ass with it. And I can't be mad at Selene, because she's awesome. And the judges weighed the options considerably, so I can't be pissed at them.
I HAVE NO ONE AT WHICH TO DIRECT MY SUPER SAIYAN LEVELS OF FURY
