Well so far these past few weeks aren't going well for me. The one that hit me the most is not being picked in another tournament. Now I finally realized the problem so I'll do better in the next tournament I enter. So I'm going to try for the Ebon Spire tournament so I have to work fast, but carefully on that, while balancing my homework. My soon-to-be real problem would be my history homework which is to create a comic of twenty panels of something important in history from the list of choices. That won't be too hard since I've been drawing comics for two years, the problem is time and other projects. Luckily things are sorting out now so I may have time to do everything I need to do before summer vacation, where I could try out for another tournament if I don't make this next one.

Hey, sorry to hear that you didn't make it in EFN. It was cruel, really, rather than enlarge the roster they opted to shut out a whole bunch of talented peeps and caused a lot of anger. Seems that most of the Infractus Fatality crowd got a free pass, too, which didn't seem utterly fair but hey, what are you going to do?

Good luck with Ebon Spire and the homework, thanks for the note. Sorry it took so long to reply.

That's okay. I figures out what I did wrong. It was probably the panel sizes. They're the same size in almost every page so It could get boring even with a good story line and graphics. So I'm going to try and fix that for the Ebon Spire intro comic if I even have enough time. I have a big project in my history class that involves making a comic from a list of important events in history and the deadline is somewhere in April. You don't have to worry about the note either. I can understand with school and/or jobs to do, I already experienced that with others, so no need to threat over it. Good luck in the IDD tournament. I'll be rooting for ya.

Well, at least you're deciding to learn from you mistakes rather than spending time lamenting what could have been. Good for you! :clap:

And thank you. Watch out Medula, I'm looking to go far in this tournament!

If you dont get accepted into this one, keep drawing as though you did. The reason you dont get in is probably that you seem inexperienced and dont have Endling level art. So do a tourney and keep up with the dues dates, it will show later reviewers you can keep up with it. If nothing else it will be good practice.

Thanks for the advice. I doubt I'll ever reach his level since I have my own style, but I am getting better with my drawings and panels (which are probably the reasons why I didn't make it in the other tournaments). I don't have much time to practice my drawing now because of homework and two tests to study for, but I will keep on drawing and improving my skills. It's true that I am inexperienced in some areas like backgrounds, but I'm learning at a steady pace. So right now I have to give this tournament everything I've got and more if I'm to make it in. Feel free to look over my pages and give comments that can help me improve my methods. Wish me luck.
