Ekotek, I think this one is actually better then your Spiderman, which I thought was amazing.

[turnbolt]

Ekotek... another sequential... and a GOOD ONE!!! While I don't think a win should be based only on the fact that you did a sequential... I do enjoy your work... it is WELL worthy of my vote!!! Awesome job!

I was hoping Basil would bring a sick... SICK pinup since I knew he didn't have time for a sequential...

He brought a decent pinup... the art is okay... the blurry legs seem like a copout... is it exciting? Sadly no. Not good enough to beat down Eko's four page extravaganza! Basil I've seen you do SO much better... I know you are better than this! You must have run out of time...

Ekotek is a clean win for me.

Hmmm...Amazing. Spiderman. - I see what you did there :)
Seriously, though, thanks...I hope that I continue to improve...

Turnbolt, I totally agree -- I hope that sequentials alone is not a factor, but the quality of the art therein...
And, yeah, I've seen some of the beautiful work that Basil's done on previous challenges and in his blog...I knew I was going to have to bring it again this month if I was going to have any chance of winning...

Mother of God, Eko! Do you sleep?!

It's the lucky Charms man, it makes me magical even when I'm not looking.

Holy crap! eko u are da man! these are even better then last months! id buy that comic off the shelf easy! basil....why didnt u bring this to our fight?! u got some good stuff so im surprised this is what u came with...

[ekotek]

Mother of God, Eko! Do you sleep?!
HA! Not nearly enough...


Holy crap! eko u are da man! these are even better then last months! id buy that comic off the shelf easy!
Thanks JC! That's actually the greatest compliment you could give....and encouraging!

[pigeonmilk]

Ek- seriously, prolly your best man, simply stunned with the colors and the pro feel to those pages. I click this last night and the f-bomb dropped out when I saw it.


How did you pull off those special effects..I have to know man, I keep gettign drawn back to them. They are bad as hell!

basil man, I really like your work, but you slipped this month, eko brings it with the sequentials but I feel your anatomy and compostion is stronger. So I was hoping for a stunning pinup. I liked where this was going but had to give it to Eko, he poured it on this month.

[necenarro]

Eko-- this is probably the 4th or 5th sequentials of yours I've seen, and this is THE best. They're great! Every panel is dynamic. The story is one of your better. The colors spot on. Awesome job.

[basil81]

I feel bad that I didn't 'bring it' this time around. I've dropped out of Pummel for a little while, but I will be back soon and hope to compete against all of these fine artists once again.

Well done ekotek and congrats on holding the title, I look forward to seeing more of your entries in the coming months!

Thanks pigeonmilk! - That's awesome that it struck you like that...the special effects are all about gimp, paths, and layers! -- PM me and I can give you more details....

Thanks! I actually can't believe I've managed to do sequentials 4 months in a row -- when I first signed up for Pummel, I didn't think I'd ever even do 'em, but then I figured that's the best way to push myself....appreciate the feedback.

Thanks, basil! Hope you know that you pushed me to push myself...after giving the topic of Dr. Strange, I thought I might seriously regret it based on your Spawn/Witchblade piece -- I started thinking that it really plays into your strengths to do a mystical character....
