Ta~Dah
Sorry I'm late, almost didn't make this post tonight. Was kinda playing this new Dragon Ball Z game I bought. Yes I know, Dragon Ball Z is one of my guilty pleasures. I got hooked on it in high school when a friend introduced me to it. Don't look at me like that, I'm sure a lot of you are stilled hooked on your 90210, O.C. and um...um...Saved by the Bell. Same thing, instead of Dylan McKay it's Son Goku.
Anywho...I finally have my comic up! Before I unveil the comic, here's the story behind it's creation. There's a company, Tokyopop, which normally translates and publishes Japanese comics (and does a good job at it). Well they have been holding a contest for American artists to enter their 20 page creations in hopes of being one of the top 10 winners.
They started this a couple of years ago, I tried entering that one and failed miserably. I didn't even finish the book and learned a hard lesson on how to plan this kind of project.
I later tried their 4th contest, and I barely entered that one (with help from my brother's aggressive encouragment). Again, learned more about creating a comic's story.
So, now this takes me to the 5th contest, where I still didn't give myself enough time, but managed to enter something closer to my original vision. I didn't win...but I learned more lessons and I will win the next one.
With no further ado here's my comic:

Don't despair on the not winning... It's so cool that you made the effort and did the work of creating the piece & submitting it. You're already ahead of 95% of the people out there. You do good work. Keep at it! : )

Nose to the grindstone. Stiff upper lip. 10% inspiration, 90% perspiration. That horse ain't gonna ride himself. And stuffs.
